This discrepency is common. Thus you have the people asking for a thief class, cause rogue->ninja strayed entirely from that and most of our new skills past 30 have been magic based. Its also an issue with bloodbath being weaker for us cause it doesnt work with magic attacks but wrong thread for that discussion.

Then theres the summoners who for a time felt too much like poison mages.

And the bards that would like some actual music magic instead of being snipers.

And the rdm who feel slighted by the exceptionally small amount of time they actively spend fencing

Its unfortunately an ongoing problem, but tbf square enix cant make a class for every single players ideal fantasy.
There is a quote from Minfilia that basically amounts to "can't please everyone" and the whole crux of the Sultana's struggle with helping the poor without pissing off the rich. There will always be something to upset someone else and trying to find a satisfactory medium is the best they can do. And while I may not agree with everything the devs do, I know thousands of other people do.
