Why don't we have differents specialisations ?

[MistakeNot]

Hello,

Let me explain my idea.

Why don't we have some kind of stance, form, ... that change the effect of our skills.
I know we may consider the various jobs as specialisations of our WoL but I means something that only change the visual effects of our job.

As an non native english speaker, it would be easier to explain with an example : An elemental spe for white mage that change Dia and Glare into Stone and Aero. It will not the change the spell effect, power or even mana cost of course.

This will allow us to differentiate ourselves without altering the balance between jobs.

So ... why don't we have something like this ?

Instead of tweaking each job, they let us switch between different jobs. When you can have all jobs on a single character, there is less need to be able to customize each of them.

Besides, once upon a time we could do minor customization of our characters - choose which cross-class skills to equip, choose which stat to add a minor boost to, for some classes choose between a two-handed weapon or a one-handed weapon + shield, have slightly different resistance versus different elements.
All those things have systematically been removed one by one over the years, making one White Mage the same as any other White Mage now. I don't see the developers changing direction again on this. They are more likely to add more jobs for those who want different game play.
