This game needs depth, Please implement a second weapon (playstyle) for each job

[ShinkuTachi]

Drk could use, and skill up. Club, Sword, axe, great axe. dagger in addition to scythe and greatsword.
Axe, Great Axe, Sword even B- rating and dagger / club c/c- *Marksmanship e (w/crossbows, but not guns) respectively.

DRK couldn't skillup/properly use 3 weapons staves, polearms and h2h *Great Katanas, Katanas, Archery (but could use bows), and throwing (but could use pebbles)

Exactly! A handful of weapons, only two of which could be wielded efficiently. The others could only be useful in extremely situational circumstances; however, they never warranted any real necessity and DRK was relegated by the playerbase to Scythes and Great Swords only (though I also always carried a ranged weapon with me too). Thereby, the ability to equip those extra weapons is made pointless. Thereby, the whole idea of "player choice" concerning weapons in FFXI was an illusion; or rather, was extremely limited.

So, unless something happened post abyssiea (when I moved on to thief, dancer, and sam) that completely changed how DRK was played, then please inform me.

Again, I don't understand what you're trying to debate here.
If you're just trying to be right about something, then I concede. This discussion is going in circles.
