Why don't Paladins have any unique "Cures"

[Krr]

Gonna quote this in hopes of helping people understand. Our PLD is not a D&D paladin thatb is devoted to a god and makes miracles happen through their faith. Our PLD is not a warcraft paladin that turns faith into holy light to heal wounds and turn undead to ashes while wielding a really big hammer. Our PLD is a knight that is conceived around the idea of an elite protector.

This has been both mechanically and flavorfully true of "Paladin" characters in FF games in general. They have access to white magic but it's mostly for minor, out of combat utility and their true focus is on being damn good at melee combat, protection, and their class letting them use holy weapons that others can't (e.g., Excalibur).

Also, in basically most FF games that have been made "Knight" was typically localized to "Paladin". FF1 is a noteworthy exception, where Fighters get a job upgrade to the "Knight" class that gives them better stats, a very limited package of White Magic to help deal with random encounter attrition, access to Excalibur, and...yeah that's pretty much it.
