imo they should stop with jobs all together and add skill trees or professions. make jobs feel more dynamic

Other FF games with Job systems have had us unlock our skills via job points without a linear sequence, the two that come to mind immediately are Tactics and X-2. More often than not, they also allow players to mix and match abilities and passives from one job onto another, so skill trees and custom playstyles aren't out of the question for the job system. If anything, XIV is the only one to make the job system incredibly paired back with no customization in favour of balance.

FF11 had the job/sub job system where subjobs are half the level of the main job and lets you use certain traits and abilities of that subjob. And the recent master level system in ff11 further increases subjob levels adding even more abilities from the subjob plus the job point and merit system. While we don't have skill trees like other mmos each final fantasy had it's own takes on how combat and jobs played.
