    Jobs were added because Hiromichi Tanaka, original director of FFXIV, was going to just have classes but then when Naoki Yoshida took over they were added ontop of the classes. It was to give people the "Final Fantasy" feel by having jobs fans of the series would recognize.
    Oh!!! It's now about "iconic look" and "'Final Fantasy' feel"!

    And all this time I thought you only cared about "function", "redundancy" and " inefficient allocation of developer time". /rolleyes

    I don't know why you think both can't co-exist. Have the feel and look while simultaneously having a functional class, reducing the need to waste time, and resist introducing redundancy.
