Did you play PSO? I was a full support FO and I would always be casting jellen/zalure, resta, anti and buffs. People appreciated it a lot. So yeah, PSO has been the type of game to have someone in a support role. It's just now that FO's are forced to use their weapons to regenerate PP and also that buffs suck and there's no current debuffs, we might as well spam attack techs.
