    Actually, now that you have all your reasons up, I have quite a bit of dispute with why you positioned most of these where you did. I agree with the majority of the positioning, but your reasoning and knowledge of the classes themselves seem to be a bit wrong in many cases.....

    EDIT: NOTE - I may be off on my reasoning as well, since I lack full knowledge of the classes. I also don't consider "damage output" as a viable reason for why they're "good vs evil" in terms of alignment, since if that was the case then WAR, SMN, BLM, DRG, and MNK would have to be automatically considered "evil" because they have high damage output, even when it doesn't fit with their role from a lore perspective....

    WHM: Lawful Good - Dedicate their lives to healing others, and happily do so to great effectiveness, but are still bound by the laws of the elementals, (at least from a lore perspective). They strive to heal others and restore life wherever they go.

    PLD: Lawful Good - Entirely dedicated to protecting others at the cost of themselves, and upholding the law in general.

    SCH: Neutral Good - Equal parts offense and defense. They're dedicated to healing others and protecting their comrades, but were also the foremost battle tacticians of their time. They seek knowledge and understanding, while using it to both benefit themselves and others and defeat those that pose a threat to their allies.

    AST: Chaotic Good - Dedicated to healing others, relying on fate to determine how they do so. However, they also actively attempt to defy fate by manipulating time to change what has been done to bring harm to their allies, as well as denying some paths that are given to them and forcing fate to choose a different one, (in the form of discarding certain cards and redrawing).

    BRD: Neutral Good - They want to bring joy to others with their songs, and help their allies in battle, but simply go with the flow as often as not, neither striving to uphold an ideal or defy it.

    DRG: Lawful Neutral - They strive to protect others and uphold the laws of their home, but are willing to do so at any cost to the point of zealotry.

    MCH: True Neutral - (More in depth explained above.) They simply want to live their lives as they wish, defending themselves and their loved ones, and are willing to either resort to violence/scare tactics, or diplomacy depending on the situation.

    MNK: Neutral Good - I honestly can't speak much on this regard, since I don't know the class that well, but the feel I get from them is that they're more in the Neutral Good category because they are opposed to evil and corruption and seek to purify their own mind and body. They may be Lawful Good in actuality, depending on how strictly they uphold their personal morals, but again, I can't speak much on this class from a lore perspective so I'm just putting them as Neutral Good for now.

    SMN: Chaotic Neutral - They seek power and knowledge, as well as destructive forces, but are more or less seeking said power and knowledge for it's own sake. They're willing to demonstrate this power against their foes, and are willing to do what they have to in order to become more powerful however, so they fall into more Chaotic territory than True Neutral territory.

    DRK: Lawful Evil - They're willing to do what it takes to protect others and uphold their own personal moral code, and won't hesitate to resort to violence and rage as a method to uphold their morals.

    NIN: Neutral Evil - They're willing to kill and break the law with no compulsion, but only if it is the will of their current employer or is necessary to complete their mission. They don't do evil for evil's sake, or to uphold some value, but rather because that is what the task at hand requires.

    WAR: Chaotic Evil - They simply do as they wish because they love battle and letting their emotions drive them forward to defeat their foes. They seek to draw their foes to them, protecting others, but out of a desire for more conflict rather than a desire to help those around them.

    BLM: Neutral Evil - They enjoy destruction and employ less than reputable methods, but they don't seek to destroy for the sake of destruction itself. Like MNK, I can't speak much on this, since I have little knowledge of the lore of the class itself.
