First off I really liked the merit point system in FFXI. It was a nice little bonus every once in a while and even though the bonus may not have affected much of my characters contribution but it really helped me feel like my character was just that much more differentiated from the hive of end game people.

Second I really like the FFX sphere grid system. If you havn\\'t played it, it\\'s a good game and I recommend it. A similar system can be found in Path of Exile which is a completely different game but it is highly customizable.

Here\\'s the deal. Take the twelve gods, slap em on a grid sphere grid, the god you picked is where you start. Get a point every level or so and slap it in the tree, I think this could replace the stat customization we have now which for PLD as you know is literally every point in VIT. Or this could be added on as a not game imbalancing bonus which you pick up as you gain merit points after you hit the level cap.
