Does FF14 have a button bloat problem?

While that's true to a degree, I'd say that some jobs have buttons that seem redundant or never get much use. I don't really use flamethrower all that much on machinist, for example. Black Mage has a bunch of skills that were passed down from ARR, like "Sleep", which you barely use at all outside pvp content and maybe heaven on high. WHM also has that kind of odd problem where you need cure 1 when going into early content and then you never use it later because it just doesn't make sense to use it.

Not really bloat, but it is a problem esp with White Mage and Black mage which have a few inefficient abilities which stop being used or just get ignored outright. The issue with Flamethrower is it is only good if you don't move, ie look at the movement button and it cancels, so it's more efficient to use other AOEs. As a BLM I use Sleep all the time out in the world when doing solo content, it's not needed in group content but it's helpful when your only damage mitigation is a Chocobo who can only hold aggro for one attack.
