Please do not lock Jobs to the Weapon Class that unlocks them.

Because one of the core tenantes of most of the past monks has been healing the party using their spiritual powers.

? In I and V at least they had the highest damage (and hit twice per turn) and could heal themselves. They also had the "Kick" ability which dealt less damage, but to all enemies.

Don't remember MONKS healing anyone else in the party, though.

well specialization is what jobs are all about

Exactly, and there are so many ways to specialize in different areas with the same equipped weapon. Though, I do believe that abilities from White Monk or Black Belt should be locked out because that would be like building Armory System Tier 2.

jobs will have exclusive abilities, this we know for a fact
we also know being on a job will lock out certain abilities too

You know... I might be happy if each Class gets its own version of each role as a unique job.

IE Each Weapon class gets a Tank, Healer/Buffer, DD, Debuff/Subvert,
Gladiator gets Paladin, Dancer, Soldier, Redmage, Thief
Pugilist gets Monk, White Monk, Berserker, Black Belt
Archer gets Sniper, Corsair, Ranger, Engineer
Marauder gets Warrior, Cleric, Viking, Dark Knight
Lancer Gets Dragoon, Holy Dragoon, Samurai, Blue Mage
etc.

But even then you have jobs that are using weapons that are not normal for them except in one instance in past FF's and I'd still be upset that I can't use my favorite weapon with my favorite job.

Yeah but i'm speaking more along the lines of Cross-Job abilities, even if the Job is tied to the same Weapon Class.

I'm not willing to see another Armory System pop up. lol

Everything a Job gives you will only work on that job.
