Why refusing customization is a fallacy

[Reynhart]

Lol, really not surprised to see that what you really want is for others to make choices.

Fixed that for you.

You realize that, by allowing everyone to play each job, FFXIV is the perfect game for testing ?
Let's say I love tanking as a PLD and a DRK. Maybe I'll decide to follow the "accepted best" build (Quotation marks, again) for DRK to participate in endgame raid, but I'll can try to focus my PLD on it's CNJ heritage to make him a back-up healer for every other content ?

My PLD will feel unique to me, and with the lockout, endgame raiding will always be only a small fraction of the content I'll do each week, anyway.

So even if you think my PLD is "screwed", my character as a whole can still participate in everything.

Back in ARR, friends decided to test almost every low-level dungeon as a 4 Arcanist team (Not SCH nor SMN, ACN). You know what ? It was fun.

EDIT : And before someone jumps on the "You see, customization is already in the game for ACN". Yes, I know it is, but still ONLY for Arcanist, and only because it evolves into two different role so it needs a more versatile toolkit.
