Pretty much this.

There's no reason not to consider that weapon slot for additional equipment (off hand weapon or other) for some classes. The player data bloat argument is pretty much invalid since this is already done in all the DOH & two DOL classes.

As it sits right now, only the MAD/WAR and LNC/DRG actually put both hands on his two-handed weapon. The ROG/NIN & PUG/MNK sort of do but it's actually two separate weapons. Visually, the ACH/BRD, CNJ/WHM*, THM/BLM* & ARC/SCH/SMN all hold thier two-handed weapons with one hand. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but you could differentiate the classes more by giving some of them main and off-hand options.

*I do realize there is some 1-handed equipment for these classes. However, none of that equipment is commonly considered "end game" capable. I wish it were - cuz I would use it.
