This is unfair because damage dealing classes are more popular ; ; I love white mage!

You don't need a reason to help someone~
The jobs need not align to their in-game guilds even if they match up with their classes. In fact, they may even represent a counterpoint to the relevant guild.
Conjurer = peaceful, calming and at one with the elementals, working with the moogles to preserve and balance.
Black Mage = violent & enraging the elementals' power with ancient rituals to prepare for war with the Garleans.
Thaumaturge = obsessed with death's power in the Arzanaeth Ossuary. And accruing wealth.
White Mage = obsessed with life's power in the Milvaneth Sacrarium. And "donations".
Thus, this spread could be plausible in the current lore.
SE said for the moment it will be one job per class. Si I think conjurer = black mage and THM = white mage.
But it's so sad to people like me who choose THM because it's don't have cure and was thinking it won't be THE healer of the game...
Now I think I juste have to level up conjurer...
blackmage ftw
FFXIV totally stepped away from the traditional FF lore is what the problem is. Conjurer is a summoner really. They summon the elementals. They also have cure spells (spirit healing).... and kind of remind me of druid (nature priests concerned over balance and what not). Spell-wise Conjurer fits both Black Mage and White Mage (and they are summoners by name and lore). However, THM is more of a "black" mage in name... seeing as how they use blood magic, enfeebling, life and death... they are a more dark necromancer type mage. Honestly SE should have CON unlock WHM and BLM.... and THM should unlock RDM.... and maybe SCH or whatever. lol
I actually loved the direction SE went with mages in FFXIV. The lore is wonderful. I am hoping they don't break the lore by messing with CON and THM..... THM getting elemental spells makes no sense at all. It would make more sense to shift Conjurer's cure spells and pro/shell to THM, than it would to move the elemental spells to THM....
In case people hadn't realized, they have gone with the traditional jobs in only a handful of games since FF hit the Sony platforms. VII, VIII, X, XII, XIII, crystal chronicles games all use their own job system that bares little resemblance to the original jobs. Almost as if they've been avoiding them in the design process.
I think (and hope) you are not seeing well what the game intend to do :P
BOTH THM and CON can access BLM, WHM and SCH !!!
An exemple : you are THM and you have reached a certain rank and have equipped buffing and healing skills then you will have access to whm and special whm abilities
You are con and you equip different types of skills then you are SCH with new SCH spells !!!
It will be a glorious system no ?
Ye shall be as Gods ...
Honestly, I think CON should become a Sage from FF3. They both have access to white magic and black magic spells. Conjurer also sounds like it could be a set below a Sage in terms of names alone.
none of this would be a problem if they didn't tie classes to weapons. still don't like that system.
