Why doesnt each class get their own limit break effect?

[Lecreuset]

To me, the lvl 3 limit breaks only look right on whitemage(even though they very rarely use it), Monks, and black mages. Yeah I know some summoners like Rydia in other Series can use it but it's mostly black mages and other types of mages that used it. It'd be nice if in the future other classes get their own kind of limit break spell, like summoners maybe cast earthen fury if they have titan egi, aerial blast if they have garuda, etc. while making said egis grow in size or something :P

But yeah I guess it'd be too much work and would take away time/resources on the more important things.

Because that would very much encourage class stacking and/or very specific group comps. You fail to realize that different LBs would have to function differently and do different amounts of damage and have secondary traits. If MNK has the best single target DPS LB then every party will have a MNK and give the middle finger to DRGs, RDMs, BLMs or other DPS.

The current system's emphasis on role ensures you have that particular role covered while also allowing for variety in parties. It's one less thing that may give parties the excuse to stack classes or exclude certain jobs, and that's always a good thing.

Why do they have to do that? Why can't they just have cool-different animations? Give SMN an AoE the same size and damage as Meteor, just, ya know, with summoning-skills? Give DRG a non-punching single-target LB with the same dmg potential? Idk why they couldn't do that for funsies.
