Make Each Class Use Each Stat

[Reynhart]

In FFXIV, though, players have one option and one option only: pump up your main stat as high as it will go.

Let me take something from a game almost as despised as FFXI (in the official forum )...FFXIV 1.0. /thunder

Back when class ranks and physical level were separated, every point of stat you had was a result of bonus points. It meant that you really could go the glass cannon way by putting nothing into Vitality. You had to find the good balance between those stats.
Even more, you kept the same stats for any class you level, so if you wanted to be good, you had to make choices...but it was poorly implemented, sadly

Now that gear provides more than 90% of our stats, while still only being chosen on ilvl only (Most of the time), stats don't do anything.
