This seems like a strange place to bring out your pitchfork. But that's the nice thing about Final Fantasy. If you don't like how things are done in one game, there are plenty of alternatives.


I think this needs a longer arrow.
Ragnarok is different in a lot of games.
Shiva may have been made into a motorcycle, but she kept the fact that she uses ice as a main method of attack. They also didn't try to make her into a tank.
Lucavi being espers? Not sure what this is suppose to mean. In every new game Summons are named something new.
Paladin's are known for having access to white magic in general. Of Their main thing is being a warrior with white magic offensive included. The main thing is that their not a DPS with 0 curing ability.

So no, this is a normal place for people that have been fans of the job to pull out their pitchfork.

Even going by loose references, FF14's Dark Knight doesn't even do a good job at that.
