If they're overhauling the system, would it not be reasonable to assume that they would split the 1H weapon into both daggers and swords, and give us THFs?

I'm not really seeing anything in here that's profoundly damning. All they're saying is that one weapon will equal one job -- which is pretty much how it is right now. If anything, the current system seems a little too open, in that you can put any ability in at any level, regardless of class/job, so long as your skill bar has enough room for it. While it means you have a more varied, open-ended style of play, getting that without any restriction whatsoever lends to classes not really feeling distinct. My CON and THM feel identical, along with my LNC and MRD, because I wind up using pretty much the same abilities for them, and the only difference is, in fact, their weapons.

If they can add class distinctiveness but still keep a measure of the variety that we see right now, it can only be a good thing.
