They could have just made Rogue be STR and it would of worked the same but I suspect they probably already have a STR class slated for the expansion, making this the better route.

Currently the gear is like this,
VIT:PLD,WAR
STR : MNK, DRG,
DEX: NIN, BRD,
INT:SMN,BLM
MND:SCH,WHM
Now if we do this

VIT:PLD,WAR,TMP
STR: MNK, DRG, DRK
DEX: BRD, NIN, MSK
INT:BLM,SMN, ???
MND:SCH,WHM,???

It makes sense . But of course this is reaching a bit into unknown territory.
Right. That also could be a solution. Main stats are tied to the weapons themselves. This allows for literally any weapon to be modified by whatever they want. This also means that the tooltips are nothing more than flavor text that could easily be changed to suit their preferences.
