I'm only talking about this game. Currently, each class is defined by a single... Well, sometimes 2... Weapons. Gladiator = Sword (shield), Lancer = Spear, Archer = Bow. It was merely keeping it similar to the current system. The FF's I've played extensively since 7, minus 11 (7, 8, 13) main characters typically stick to one weapon type (Cloud's swords, Squall's gunblades, Lightning's gunblades). I'll admit I can't remember exactly 9 or 10, and didn't play 12.

None of this is to say that we'd HAVE to keep it the way it is and only allow one weapon type. If it's worth looking into, I'm sure there is a good suggestion waiting to be dropped. This isn't my thread however, I'm just throwing suggestions to the OP. Feel free to drop your own as well.

*** Edit: A few posts ago I threw out some suggestions about class specific weapons that could be implemented using this one weapon type system. ***
