The bigger question to ask is what has been removed. PLD has consistently had by far the most bloated action counts out of any tank, as a relic of the Stormblood rework. The reason why PLD has one less 'personal' defensive ability than the other tanks (from the set of Camo/Thrill/DM) is because it has one extra raidwide defensive with PoA. There's mention in the Famitsu article about trigger conditions being a problem with PLD. This makes me wonder if Bulwark is going to replace DV with PoA taking over as the job specific raidwide defensive.

I also wonder what's going to become of the lifesteal on Holy Spirit, now that you'll have one after every combo. It'll be interesting to see if the bonus cast is interchangeable with Clemency.
I understand the general dislike, I think a lot of people got to realise that while current PLD is fun to a lot of people (me included), but that the job just doesn't fit under the current game, the benefits it does provide are lacking right now, a lot of the outcry about "2 minute meta" comes from people who will also complain about dps differences, 2 minute meta like it or not was a result in a lot of complaints people made, now jobs such as PLD cannot really exist inside the meta, the PLD rework makes a lot of sense from the ground up as its generally been known as the jank least popular tank job for a while now.

I think they will likely make veil shake it off it seems way easier to fix it that way then remove it, I don't know about POA, I'm either thinking it's likely going to be similar to white mage wings or it could be removed, I think they would have mentioned out right important removing stuff, I don't think PLD would be "busted" if it had two raid wides eitherway.

With space they might likely make req turn into confit, I think this makes the most sense, they could also be removing shield bash or something like that, I feel like they're definitely going to "make space" for Bulwark one way or another. I think they could also make more space with reworking holy spirit into a cleave, now that Holy shelltron isn't a block you could also make Holy shelltron targetable (removing intervention), theirs so many space changers which can happen.
