While Shadowbringers has been a massive and well-received expansion for Final Fantasy XIV, there?s one element in particular that some fans have taken umbrage with. Shadowbringers introduced two new job classes: Gunbreaker, a tank job, and Dancer, a ranged DPS job. The lack of a specific healer class has been controversial for some, especially since a new one hasn?t been introduced since 2015?s Heavensward. Director Naoki Yoshida commented on why no new healer class was added for Shadowbringers.
Yoshida explained that a lot of it has to do with balancing. With the sheer number of jobs in Final Fantasy XIV, it can be tricky to make sure each one?s balanced correctly. Apparently, healer classes in particular are some of the most difficult jobs to get right. Yoshida noted:
PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {'gptAds':[], 'gptStandAlone':[]};
