Why did SE decide to make the three new classes not require base classes?

[Wildsprite]

WHM and THF were jobs. We just didn't have to unlock them like advanced jobs.

in XI SE also called those jobs you unlocked "Extra Jobs" not "Advanced Jobs" the players were the ones that started to call them advanced jobs.
that one always bothered me because if they were infact advanced jobs they would have been more advanced versions of the existing jobs not totally something else.
in XI you have 22 jobs most if which have little to do with eachother and are unique.


in XIV we have
6 DoW classes that evolve into 6 DoM jobs
3 DoM classes that evolve into 4 DoM jobs

which means if we got rid of the classes we would end up with 10 DoW/DoM jobs + the 3 new ones.
some of you worry about lore. well I'm most confident they could make a whole new lore around it that would make it make sense

no I didnt forget the DoH/DoL classes, fairly confident not much needs to be done to those
