Um, everything that they've said so far?

They're obviously emphasizing class uniqueness by streamlining skills and giving many unique and class exclusive skills to battle classes. They are further emphasizing uniqueness with the introduction of the job system that makes those exclusive traits and abilities even more profound.

The crafting classes are already unique. Each one specializes in a different type of base material and end product. The future goals of crafting classes are to give them more stuff to do and to help them play their support role in the economy. They are being further differentiated from the battle and gathering classes, not from each other.
