No, that is in role Balance. Balanced and homogenized are different. Balanced means that results are roughly the same. Homogenization would be that the jobs play identically.

Removing Wrath/Abandon management from Warrior play and MP management from Dark Knight play would be homogenization.

You can have homogenized and balanced (where all classes play the same and have the same effectiveness), non-homogenized and imbalanced (where all classes play differently but one is more effective than the others), homogenized but imbalanced (where all classes play the same but one class is more effective), and balanced but non-homogenized (where all classes play differently but have the same effectiveness).

The first is considered boring, the second is considered imbalanced, the third is considered imbalanced and boring, and the fourth is considered good.
