Since Final Fantasy 1 (1987) Whitemage had their signature white robe with red triangles. I'm just giving this as an example. Later on, more jobs were added and their identity comes from the type of gear they are using. The bikinis, the pig outfit, the moogle attire, whatever that comes to your mind, are NOT tied to ANY identity of ANY job. You are mixing things up here.

2 years ago, Yoshi-p answered this here: CLICK ME.. As I mentioned in my first post in this thread, I'd be down to remove the restriction for generic looking gear, like some dungeons drops, as they are already swapped and re-coloured for other jobs. But certain types of gear should stay for the sake of tradition as this is, like it or not, a Final Fantasy game.
