    Again, why can it work in one (or in this case several) game(s) and not in the other?
    Do you want a sandbox game or do you want specialized roles? The game's major criticism is the sanboxy feel to the jobs, their generic utilities, and that there's really no specific point in plaing any of them. And that is being fixed to bring it more in line with being a Final Fantasy.

    This isn't an "everyone can tank in their own special way if they wish" kind of series.

    And that's why class design went down the toilet for the most part in XI. So you're therefore saying it's alright for that mess to repeat itself.

    PS: "specs" and diverse roles per class/job are not sandboxy. Quite far from it, actually.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
