Likewise. It doesn't have to be talent trees, but I think the game really needs some way to customize our gameplay. Our stats are the most boring I've ever seen in an MMO and with no talent trees, sub jobs, merit points, or any other similar system, we are all carbon copies of each other.

I understand where he's coming from when he says that number crunchers will find the optimum build, but that already happens with jobs too. If you wanted to build the ultimate raiding party, there would be jobs you leave out, but all of the jobs are played because we don't always care about being at the bleeding edge. Particularly in FFXIV where I would say the majority of the playerbase don't engage in serious end game content. We care about the lore of the jobs, how they feel, how they play. I for one would love some kind of choice in my job's gameplay.
