I am almost convinced that you cannot have Job Identity and Job Balance together. Because Balance infringes on Identity.

Besides PLD being in the toilet (which wasn’t even a balance problem it was that they stupidly made it the “physical tank” in a tier of magical damage) HW was well balanced by MMO standards (a few messy patches but nothing major) and the jobs all had very unique identities

People complained when their job was weaker but besides PLD nothing to the Level they do these days when every job is exactly the same and they still can’t balance the jobs

I think what the jobs really need now is just inherent traits that give it unique buffs, movement options (like Dragoon Being able to jump higher than other jobs, might be fun for jump puzzles), and have gear that has specific traits only that job can use.

Or anything else at all, just something to give meaning to the jobs again.
