From the tradition of "Final Fantasy" games.

I don't play BLM; but in my Squee-fangirl heart of hearts, I believe the Black Mage (played correctly, with elegance) should always be the "Biggest Gun in the Universe" - the profession which makes everyone go "OH STERCUS WE ARE GOING TO DIE!" when they enter a room, with dramatic theme music

Summoners are stereotypically "nicer" than Black Mages; they tend to not want to go for FULL POWAH, playing to empathy.

And so on
