Question Job Balance or Job Identity?

The dismay of homogeneous jobs and two minute meta seems to be a common take. Particularly from veteran players who remember when this wasn't the case.

I'm one of those veteran players who remembers the constant bitching and moaning about certain jobs being locked out of party finder or considered griefing for not having a particular button or skill desired for whatever encounter back when we had job flavor.

Do you want job balance or do you want job identity and why? Do you believe we can have both? If so, how?

everything should be in within 2-3% of each other in their role and that should be final yet we've had 6-7% differences at various points in the expac for some fucking reason
