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

Hah, they probably got lazy and just took those dagger models and slapped two of them together to make low level rogue/ninja weapon.

Most likely this is why they changed gladiator weapons and not some odd conspiratorially contrived notion on weapon types. Daggers and short swords are all blade-style weapons so it made sense at the time. With rogue coming you suddenly have a need to differentiate between swords and daggers/short swords.
