Does FF14 have a button bloat problem?

[Shurrikhan]

It only worked in WoW (sometimes) because players could try new things in the PTR and write up the next Definitive Guide to Playing X months before the expansion comes out.

Given that competitive PvE content was likewise delayed there, the PTR was by no means a requirement for specs/jobs/classes to have more than the barest difficulty...

Given, also, that the way each spec played was also far more fight-dependent, as WoW raid encounters are generally far more varied in how they ought to be approached than are XIV's, precise generalist advice was also far less relevant once one progressed to the level content in which that degree of knowledge would particularly matter.
