To answer this, I refer to my comment from another thread on this very subject:

To put some fake numbers to it, think of the main weapon as holding 70% of your stats while the shield holds the remaining 30%. If you were suddenly able to equip two main weapons, you've now got more stats working in your favor than any other class or job.

The only way I could see dual-wielding working stat-wise is if it was like the PGL: you only equip one weapon, which has the all of the appropriate amount of stats on it, but you're shown as wielding one in each hand.

And another thing:

It happened in roughly 3 games in the past: FF1 and in a couple of the tactics games.

I am a firm believer in the fact that Thief, one of the most iconic and reoccurring jobs in the series, should not be relegated to a class, the thing most people don't care exists once they hit Lv30 and unlock their job(s). It would be an extreme disservice to the people (like me) who feel that Thief deserves a job with it's own soul crystal, artifact gear, and relic weapon, and though people may disagree with me, I do believe that Thief and Ninja CAN be different enough to justify them being two different things.
