Idea: Split Archer into Bard and Ranger

ACN has half of the necessities that would make for a healer; a basic healing spell, a Resurrection, mp regen and utility buff/debuffs. You also need to keep in mind on what they have to work with and the restraints of recovering a game from 1.0.

Ignoring the amount of development needed to change the entire system of job crystals, even if it were to change the base skills to suit the class, you'd still have them share weapons and animations. Unless you want to go even further and differentiate that, then honestly wouldn't it just be far easier to build something from the scratch up than change each and every spell to give that job it's own identity?

And, so? They can change this system at any time. There's nothing even to say that every job needs the same number of actions or traits, let alone that every job must leave every source-class action unchanged.

Whether or not it's feasible to change it compared to remaking the job from the ground up is the thing. Button bloating (and by extension, muh precious datas) is also another thing you want to avoid, unless the soul crystal was to disable class abilities.
