Let's see... for me... favorite iterations of jobs over the expansions:

DRK - HW
WAR - HW
PLD - EW (until they made the split weird and also fucked up Goring Blade. Mainly because it screams FFT Holy Sword and is a continuation of SHB's design in reality)
GNB - SHB - EW's version just feels like they tacked on Double Down and tried to up the ante on it, but it feels weird and worse.

DRG - I've actually liked all of DRG's iterations enough that I haven't felt terrible about playing it, but I will say I miss it feeling powerful which last time it did was in HW.
MNK - SHB
SAM - Stormblood
NIN - HW

BRD - ARR (I really like its Stormblood version too, but I miss it having Healer LB3)
MCH - Stormblood
DNC - No preference. I don't care much about Dancer.

RDM - Similar to DRG. They haven't screwed it up too much rotationally over the years. I admit I like its EW version the most. But I mean... it hasn't really lost anything from its old main kit anyway so... why wouldn't I?

BLM - I don't care at all about BLM.

SMN - SHB. I like phoenix even when it was bad and just felt it really jived with that expansion storyline wise for the WoL as well. I liked all of its iterations prior to SHB as well. I really miss Shadowflare still, though.

BLU - BLU hasn't changed But SHB I guess, since that's when they endorsed soloing by adding Basic Instinct.

WHM - HW RIP Aero III

SCH - HW, give us back Shadowflare, damn it!

AST - Late HW. Cards got OP. No silly unnecessary gauge that interfered with holding multiples and such. Stella, my beloved, was still in the game.


Not really paying enough attention to the game to know if Reaper and Sage have had any significant changes yet. I like them both as they are now, and do not have faith that they will be as enjoyable as they are now in the future.
