Other MMOs solve this problem by allowing multiple characters, but because FFXIV can be played with one, such a system will cause imbalance between the population.
This is why Blizzard butchered the skill trees in WoW - everybody used certain templates, making the trees themselves largely irrelevant to everyone except those who like unusual setups and roleplayers. I really don't want to see anything that even remotely resembles a skill/talent tree in this game.
