Please note that I'm not in any way expecting FFXIV to be FFXI-2.

I just pulled that example because I found it fascinating how much setup and customization you could do in that job. It's not like FFXI is the only MMO to have stuff like that (But it is the same franchise...).

I know FFXIV is not those other games. I don't want FFXIv to "be like FFXI" But back to my OP: Why can't we have depth and heavy customization with any of our jobs?

I know that playstyle isn't for everyone but we already have lots of jobs with a straight forward rotation and no customization. Why can't we have some on the other side of that spectrum too?
