Chance for Adv. Crafting Classes?

Just wondering...yes I know crafting is going to be dumbed down further, but I think adv. crafting classes doesn't really add to the complexity.

A form of specialization perhaps? Doesn't have to be a full 50 levels of leveling. Maybe 10?
Think of it like a Master's Degree - Can only choose 1 or 2?

I think this would be more interesting than a plain "you can only reach lvl 100 on 2 crafts" type of specialization.

E.g.
Engineer (ARM+ALC, build siege engines, airships if they let us build our own)
Gunsmith (BSM+ALC, Gunblades...for Musketeer if ever added)
Shipwright (CRP+WVR, if they ever let us sail the seas)
Builders (CRP+MIN, build houses)
Tamer (BTN+LTW, raise animals & chocobos)
Horticulturist (BTN+ALC, raise plants and trees)

Gastronome (CUL + ALC, fermented beverages, candy, sport drinks, fondue, caviar)

Yoshi did mention maybe having a type of master craft system where you may only be able to lvl 1 master craft.It was a long time ago, maybe even one of his first prod letters.

I like some of those combinations although I think something like shipwright and engineer would be very situational and expensive.

IMO something like an airship/boat should require all crafts and gathering classes. (kind of like a linkshell effort, everyone has to pitch in for the best results)

What with the addition of needing to learn recipes before being allowed to make items in 2.0, its a good chance for them to drop specialised recipes in instances and rare drops from leve chests etc.

he mentioned mastering a craft but said nothing about it having to do anything with leveling, that was just speculation made by a bunch of crafting haters
