While I am not wholly in favour of the current system (I prefer the early V1 armoury system) all classes on one character is a genius, genius idea. It worked in XI quite well. You could customize by subjob selection and merit traits/ability selection. Of course there were cookie cutter builds there, but that's the same in all MMOs.

Yoshi-P said they are looking into changing the armoury system somewhat, but that's quite a bit in the future and won't be as extreme as changing the foundation (you can be anything/everything).
