Job Wheel!

Um... Meet my friends White Mage and Black Mage..?

Sorry, maybe I'm derp but i don't know what your talking about here.

CON/WHM use Radicals and Wands.
THM/BLM use Sceptres and Staffs.

Unless you mean they both use 'magic sticks'?

So you think we are getting 2 classes and 2 jobs that all use books?

If you want to play by that logic:

ACN/SMN use Grimoires
???/SCH use Tomes

Okies, 'magic sticks' - radicals/staffs & sceptres/wands
'books' - grimoires (which is what arcanists use) & (most likely) tomes, if you go by the FFXI SCH weapon name.

Different names, but they look the same, like the 1h and 2h WHM/BLM weapons.

Edit: as Mr. Fantasia says faster than I^^

Oh, by the way all of these are also from the dats:

The 1.0 Alpha client dats. Surely not relevant here?

I really do not understand why you do not see the below 3 ways:
1. both SMN and SCH come out of the same class ARN (probably not gonna be so)
2. ARN got a different weapon and SCH gets books
3. as you distinguish between wands and staffs, you could distinguish between tomes and some other type of book, so that SCH gets one, ARN the other

There are many possibilities for a Scholar to be implemented and for it to use book-like weapons. imho.
