Personally, I think a job is identified more by their role and their special abilities more than by their weapon. I'm okay with a SAM that uses a lance, and maybe there's job-specific gear which happens to be a two-handed sword like a Nodachi. To me, what's important is that a SAM would be a melee DPS that was slightly more tank-y than a DRG, but pays for that extra protection somehow. Maybe, like in classic Final Fantasy entries, their abilities require burning cash.

Nayito and I are just going to have to disagree about the Necromancer. :P Would NECs in FFXIV also retain their undead status from FFV, and thus take damage from attempts to heal them?
