Or even just a choice of 2 weapons? This choice would alter the way you play the job (tank, DPS, healer), and would add variety and uniqueness to the game.
Equip a Sword/Shield, you are now a Tank PLD
Equip a Staff, you are now a Healer PLD (aka WHM)
Equip a Spear, you are now a DPS PLD (aka DRG)

Your request makes no sense because this system already exists.

Also stop trying to make this game into WoW.
