Honestly I don't like the idea of having one class tied to another. I would rather all classes be tied to different weapons. If I want to be a Dark Knight then I equip great sword, a katana for Ninja.

I know this is shameless promotion but I made a thread trying to approach this discussion from a different angle, http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-System-debate

My hope is to add to the current while keeping it Final Fantasy based. I know alot of people loved using grids and tables for customizing characters and wanted to keep it in tune to that.
