Q5. It was explained that in Patch 4.0 the focus was to reduce the large DPS disparity, but certain jobs feel more reliant on player skill than others. Are certain jobs intended to maintain that difference?

A5. One of the main concepts of FFXIV is that “when playing a job, you experience the uniqueness of that job.”
Due to this, there is a difference in difficulty between the jobs, and it used to be that higher difficulty meant more DPS. We will be scaling down this fact


Good logic to me, Glad the devs feel like this.

Easier and harder should not matter on how well a class does. It is about play style. Some people enjoy tougher classes. Some people don't. Glad the Devs at least understand this common sense.
