The illusion of choice can go a long way for some people. A lot of people like to believe they have options, and might even refuse to believe there'a a cookie cutter format for all classes. Shoot, they could truly have the option. There have been many games where they said "This is how youre supposed to use this class" then somebody branches out.. discovers an entirely new, maybe even more efficient way to use the class.
Not completely sure, but i think thats what happened with Ninja in FFXI? I did not play FFXI so its possible im wrong.
