Weapon versatility for all jobs <Yes, Please>

<No thanks> Doesn't really make sense with FFXIV's class system

You say this but mage's use 1 or 2 handed weapons. While I do agree that we shouldn't go as far as XI, I would like to see more variety, a PLD with a 1h hammer/mace or a WAR with a great sword. As long as it doesn't effect skills (PLD MUST use a shield so no 2h or duel wield) I don't see an issue with it.

RDM would use a Foil, Saber or Epee btw unless they make them a full on mage class in which they would get stuck with wands/staffs

Thats not what OP suggested though..
The whole Warriors using Great Swords and Axes type thing is fine imo.
Warriors using bow's though? No.

Also, on archers, maybe they can add some type of small dagger for them to strike with in close range as opposed to punching the monster ;x
Nothing fancy. Just small knives with minimal decoration, made of different alloys. A skinning knife, if you will.

Not gonna happen I'm afraid. I did suggest something like a dagger or hunting knife during the debate about Archers having auto attack. If I remember the response from the admins right, it went something along the line of having to maintain a damage balance, (i.e. if they gave us the dagger, they'd have to nerf bow dmg further.) which no archer would have agreed to, see as how they had just gotten a damage nerf at the time.
