Like Machinist and Corsair, or Warrior and Viking.

The games lore pretty much establishes that Geomancy/Onmyoji are the eastern equivalents of Conjury/Thaumaturgy.
They're not 'the same', but to use both Geomancy and Conjury as the base of similar jobs, both healers, would be redundant.

Which is why Geomancer would suit a Caster DPS much better, as they can differentiate it from Conjurer.
Again, you're making a subjective argument. I wouldn't call it any more similar than any other mage job myself. You're using your personal feelings as evidence for what should happen, and then balking at the same thing being done by someone else. If you're allowed to say they're too similar then I'm allowed to say they aren't. If you want to try and turn it into something objective then feel free, but if so then I'll go back to pointing out similarities to other jobs and quickly it'll turn into a subjective argument again. At the end of the day there isn't any objective reason that Geomancer would play the same as White Mage, that it would hit the same themes as White Mage, or any number of similar arguments. Subjectively you may feel it's the same, but ultimately you need to acknowledge that as simply personal feeling, no more or less valid than anyone else on the matter.
