its a PC gamer article, so take it with a pinch of salt, but if he's addressing this maybe he's also going to tackle job homogenization?

The Final Fantasy 14 team is taking aim at the game's same-y combat jobs and 2-minute-meta, but that'll come after Dawntrail tackles its encounter design

"I've talked about it often … in general, we have directed development towards reducing player stress, and as a result we have made certain decisions," says Yoshi-P, referencing an increase in the size of raid boss 'target circles', which allowed melee classes to have a far easier time keeping up their DPS during Endwalker's raid tiers. "[They] eventually became too large … Likewise, when it comes to specific mechanics, we received feedback from some players that they didn't like [them], as a result we decided to no longer implement them."

Yoshi-P goes on to say that these responses were

"defensive"

adding that he'd instead like the team to consider why a mechanic is disliked before removing it—and when it comes to the thinning of boss target circles, he notes that easing up on the players in such a fashion

"makes it much more difficult to express the ability and the talent of the individual player … our goal obviously shouldn't be to stress players for the sake of it, but at the same time we must take into account the degree of satisfaction they feel when completing content."

This, he says, is something the team tends to take on immediately during Dawntrail's post-release patches:

"we absolutely don't want to wait until 8.0".
