I wouldn't say FFXIV is lacking in healing abilities, though. It's also very likely that we'll be seeing a lot of new abilities added to the game as time goes on, especially if they go ahead with their plan of fleshing out the cross class ability system further.
I actually hope that they don't, and the reason for this is that WoW is currently suffering from serious ability bloat (among other things).
Yeah, I feel the same way. I'm still bitter that Blizzard took away a number of interesting class abilities only to replace them with stuff that could have easily have been left out of the game entirely. It's a common problem in MMO's these days - a lot of things are added as filler and aren't actually used all that often. I prefer seeing a greater focus on core game mechanics being difficult instead of there being a reliance on an overly complex rotation.
