..or perhaps something similar to the Sphere Grid from FFX.

Now obviously SE would need to make it like the License Board from the international version of FF12, where each character (i.e. each job) had their own unique License Board, rather than everyone sharing one big License Board like the original version of FF12 (the only version we ever saw here in the United States).

But I think that if such a system were implemented, it would allow people to customize their character's stats and abilities in a meaningful way, while still alleviating the problems we're seeing with the basic Stat Allotment we have now.
