It would probably screw up their instanced content though so I don't see them ever doing anything for that.
I agree Gramul.

On a personal level, I loved the interesting / odd Jobs in Final Fantasy Tactics (and other traditional Final Fantasies - Relm (the artist), Strago (Blue Mage)), etc. Things like:


* Geomancer: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Geomancer_(Tactics)




* Time Mage: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Time_Mage_(Tactics)



* Dancer: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Dancer_(Tactics)


etc., but as you said, I guess in MMOs this just isn't possible.

Although I'd say Bard in Final Fantasy XI felt more like a real "Support / Different" job than what we have now (which is mainly DPS).
