However, SE doesn't seem to like integrating any real choice into FFXIV and would rather have more homogenized jobs. I think with the current game design, we would just end up with everyone allocating merit points identically for every job, the same way we do with stats (for the most part).
Which is what happens in FFXI. Anyone doing Alluvion skirmishes will have the same gear and job point setup as described on FFXIAH. People always go towards the optimal build.
