Supposedly, they overhauled the card system because people complained about getting "useless" cards. I'd really love to know where they got this feedback because I can't for the life of me recall any real mention of it. Not to mention, no card was truly useless because Minor Arcana existed. The issue wasn't just balance though. White Mage suffered the Samurai syndrome where it was intended to be "Black Mage" of healers yet was weaker in nearly every capacity, including damage. That wouldn't be the case now. FFlogs also going the rDPS route also changes things since what made Balance even more desired is it was downright required if you wanted those pretty numbers.
