The thing is in this game all the jobs are actual able to be used. In FFXI over half the jobs were useless depending on what the patch brought. For example jobs like blm and rdm have been relatively useless in XI endgame for the longest time. When I stopped playing after the last patch whm was (and probably still is) the only healer, whereas sch my favorite job was a stunbot. This game seems much more balanced with regards to classes.
