Idea 2 sounds more reasonable based current FFXIV class system. In fact, traditional FF class system doesn't really conflict with FFXIV one, due to the so-obvious reason that FFXIV class system is one with much more customized possibility and flexibility across all FF series. Therefore, it's fairly easy to introduce traditional FF classes into FFXIV.

Take Paladin for example, there can be a class trial quest for obtaining a "Paladin title". The trial can be designed as that players have to use some specific actions (ex. cure2, sacrifice2, cover, aegis boon, and those are reasonable for being a Paladin) on self or a target during battles/stories process. This means players have to get those actions from different basic classes first and then put them together in use in order to be a Paladin. "Paladin title" can be designed as a trait for a substantial existence, and player can obtain bonus like defense up or shield damage cut up when the trait is set. In addition, class-specific gears can only be put on while class-specific trait is on.

In my opinion, I don't really see it's a problem. However, there will really be a "problem" if the current FFXIV class system is changed to match those old-school concepts...
