Yes but in order to demonstrate that you'd need some contextual evidence that the devs had this theory in mind when designing the classes. The pattern doesn't provide evidence of intentionality. It's equally likely they were just trying to include classic Final Fantasy classes and the ones they chose happened to fit this particular pattern, which might not exist of they had chosen different classes, or if they add more tank classes that fall outside of it.

It's not a fixed pattern, either, because even presuming it to be intentional, I would disagree that the DRK represents Ego. Rather, it feels more like the Jungian Shadow, which throws the model out of whack.

I see. like I said just something I noticed, not trying to prove the devs did it or not. Anyway would you mind flushing out what the Id, ego, and super-ego are in laymen's terms? Its been a while since Introduction to Psychology.
