    I have seen similar implemented in other games that have a bit more of a free form system: the player actually picks what he is willing to do in a party and flags himself accordingly.

    Now, an alternate way of implementing this would be to create alternate job crystals, with just minor differences from the main job, perhaps a single-mission quest to unlock the crystal, giving every class the same advantage the Arcanist enjoys, but would only work for jobs (so, past 30)

    An example:
    A Marrauder could become Warrior OR Berserker (same job with just minor differences to either do damage or DPS)
    A Gladiator could become Paladin or Mystic Knight (similar in scope but he enchants his sword for elemental damage procs)
    A Lancer could become Dragoon or Dragon Knight, same thing, different wording just for sake of distinction: one is DPS the other has a few tools for tanking and agro management.
    An Archer can become Bard or Ranger, the ranger hystorically being a druid-ish archer can easily be given a few healing spells.
    Thaumatruge could be Black Mage or Time Mage, with Regen and other healing capabilities.

    And so on and so forth. The advantage of this system is you lock the player to the job the que in with, but seriously, I like the free-form system where you can dynamically change roles without restrictions. After all, if you pre-form a party you are not forced to the existing conventions and can easily form a tank, archer, dragoon, arcanist 4 man party and have the arcanist serve as healer. Heck, I had one serve as tank in the Haukke Manor the other night because our tanker disconnected.
