The only thing wrong with the armory system is SE should've used traditional FF class names right off the bat. Especially since there are still a lot of people who can't seem to pronounce "pugilist" and "thaumaturge" correctly.
I can't believe people are arguing points in this thread.... some people are just down right dumb
As a matter of record, the Crystal Chronicles series has has multiple implementations of weaopns. In the third one (echoes of time) each race can use every weapon to varying degrees of proficiency (whereas in the previous game, while similar, each race was locked to a weapon type). My Life as a King (and Dark Lord) had jobs with weapons having different job requirements ala FFXI.
Just a little clarification there from a series fan.
I believe even in the 2.0 notes there are a few mentions of bringing a more FF oriented feel to the game. everyone just needs to calm down and wait for 2.0 and enjoy the beta while we have it.
