Break the Trinity System Please

I would not mind the addition of support-based jobs. I have fond memories of basically being a supporter RDM in FFXI many long moons ago. That being said, I cannot really see them being added into the game. I think what they may do, if anything, is give Bards and healers more incentive/spells to perform more supporting tasks.

Actually, I do recall Yoshida going on record to say that they did want to bring more Support jobs into FFXIV. I remember because that is what I really want to play. The trouble is that some people automatically assume Support = Healer when it's not. The closest jobs to Support in this game right now are, interestingly enough, Bard and Ninja. Bard is supposed to be, like, THE Support job, but somewhere in development, it did a Fusion Dance with the Ranger job and now it's a shadow of what it's truly supposed to be. Ninjas seem to have borrowed one or two Dancer abilities, but one or two abilities does not a Support job make.

My fingers are crossed for a de-fusion of Ranger and Bard, the introduction of Dancer as a branch from Rogue, or the introduction of a new support job a la DRK using any of the myriad of support jobs in Final Fantasy history, like Time Mage, Mediator, Mystic Knight, or something else.
