You have to be really careful not to say you want to remove "job restrictions" on gear. If you say this, they will skip ahead to "a black mage shouldn't be wielding an axe".
What we really should be asking for is for role restrictions to be lifted from non job-specific gear. For example, there are some heavy armors that would look really good on a healer designed after an "armored cleric" concept. Or Some leather harnesses that would look good on a mage. Maybe there are some shoes that you think would look cute with a particular skirt, but the shoes are striking only and the skirt is aiming only.
We need to be really clear that it's just these role restrictions that we want to lift. Job-specific equipment (weapons and AF gear) should stay restricted.
