Is it because there's more choice or something else entirely, though? As long as it is beneficial to limit our options to achieve a better game experience, they should do it.. but I don't agree with limiting us needlessly, just because other games do it.

For example, why would they do this:

Now you further divide each section (impose limits to prevent abuse) into levels. Keep it simple for now with 5 levels. You need to put a certain amount of points into BLM Lv1 before you can use points on abilities/skills/traits in BLM Lv2. This would prevent overreaching that is happening now with people using Rank 30+ traits on different classes.
?

I'm not disagreeing, yet, but I'd like to hear what exactly makes the above superior to being able to choose what skills to use more freely. I can see that to use certain traits, you should have certain amount of specialized skills/spells equipped (kinda sounds like... BLU?), but I don't currently see why it has to expand to skills and spells in general. The specialized skills simply need be locked to the class in question, imo. Just like you couldn't use skills and spells above lvl37 in XI for obvious reasons.
