Few ideas now that most classes are out.

Seeing as classes lose more and more meaning as the game progresses, I think they could unlock weapons for basically every class.

In the end, you still have the crystal slot to determine what job you are, so you could just give a "tainted" soul crystal for Gladiator, Lancer, etc...and you won't have to rely on weapons anymore.

As for futures jobs, it's not a problem since weapon type is technically irrelevant. PLD don't use "Swords", they use "Gladiator's Arms", SMN and SCH don't use books, they use "Arcanist's Grimoire".

This is true. There are still several classes from the Final Fantasy series that are not yet in 14. There are many threads in this forum speculating and arguing which new jobs would be coming in for the next expansion. I for one thinks it would be geomancer and blue mage.

I like, however, the two-headed spear for the DRG, so much like the Swallow weapon of Serge in Chrono Cross.

Yeah more or less that was the idea of that weapon. As for the other thing about classes, those classes were never really main stream enough in the FF universe. They might of shown up in some versions but ultimately they were never really in the main universe much.
This is just my train of thought mind you, but i doubt SE will try to add them.

True. But one cannot really say which one is mainstream or not. So long as they were played in the series then they are good candidates that can be included for the next set of jobs.

Gus they can't make new classes, the classes we have now are basically all the classes in Final Fantasy. To invent more would take us so far outta the Final Fantasy universe this game might as well be renamed WoW at that point. The ideas i posted are merely to give players more options rather then just the same weapon, more often then not, re skinned over and over.

A lot of classes and jobs have been introduced to the Final Fantasy series after the first game was released. No reason exists why they couldn't create a new class for this game, when new classes have been created for other FF games in the past.

Besides, as has already been mentioned, there are plenty of existing FF classes that aren't in FFXIV yet.

I think this would be cool if gears was kept longer. But it's not worth the time with all gear being outdated every 4 months, it would require twice the work moving forward to do.
