Class aesthetic and weapon selection

I wish ffxiv Jobs were like FFXI jobs which they can equip multiple weapons

Like FFXI WAR can use pretty much every weapon but their axe are A+ combat, they can still use daggers, polearms, clubs ect

Other jobs can but not as much as WAR or NIN

FFXI's WAR was the basic tank job available at the start hence why it had provoke. People just chose to use it as a DD later because it's gear options allowed it to play both roles and online gamers generally prefer dealing damage over mitigating damage. So ppl stacked their WAR with gear that increased damage output while increasing the damage they take in return and also grinding their evasion rate into the dirt.

PLD and NIN required leveling a basic job until you could start the quests to unlock advanced jobs.

As for the shield sizes in FFXIV... I think part of the reason the shields all seem really small might be that it appears you're a male Au Ra which is one of the larger character models in game. Most of the kite shields seemed fine to me as a Miqo'te. Unless you're looking for a full on Tower Shield. There area few named tower shields in the game but in reality they're more like scutums in actual size and were likely just called tower shields because they were a square or rectangle.
