It's like you ignored every other bit of similarity and jumped straight to "This job also presses buttons for a minigame for a big hit".

No, DNC is obviously not similar to MNK and NIN, which is why I never argued that they were.

But MNK and NIN share a lot more similarities than simply "minigame for big hit". Look at their damage profiles over a fight, it's very similar, personal burst at 60, personal and party burst at 120. They both have an extra button to hit every 90s. They both try to spam as much of their gauge stuff as possible in burst (Bhavacakra and Forbidden Chakra). Both their party buffs grant themselves a benefit, Trick Attack and Riddle of Fire do the exact same thing in different forms.

Of course every job doesn't play the same if you scrutinise the jobs and be pedantic about it. But you cannot in good faith argue that SCH and SGE are very different jobs, or that MNK and NIN don't fill the same niche. That's what people have an issue with. Why have 19 (21 in DT) jobs if they're going to be sorted into pairs of similar jobs?
