Future Job Ideas

They could do new advanced jobs eg. Lv 50 whm + Lv 50 bkm unlocks a quest line for the red mage soul stone. As a red mage you can use staves which unlock all whm skills or tomes which unlock all bkm skills or rapier which unlock a preset whm and bkm skills.

Same could be done for samurai or dark knight or any of the other popular classes.

Just an idea on how to get new jobs to work with the current system

You generally can't change weapons from class to job, as I noted to OrganizationXIII. Making jobs like that would require that you choose one base class, and that is the base class from which you obtain the majority of your skills. You could theoretically equip the same stone on multiple classes, but it would be pointless to design that way. If the skills were identical, the class would be gimped; if the skills were different, you might as well have just made two different stones. I find the notion of "advanced jobs" to be utterly contrary to FFXIV's core design. The only real way to insert something like a Red Mage is to create a dedicated new class for it. New classes will come, provided FFXIV maintains enough subs to get them in.

Also, when you said "Red Mage", you meant "Sage", because the Sage is the caster that does both white and black magic. A Red Mage must also have melee ability.
