If so we're looking at one hell of a list of Advanced Ranks.

It's some damn good thinking, though. Let me make a suggestion to you. Someone made a thread relating to this. What if you can take Gladiator and turn him into either one of two advanced ranks? What I'm trying to say is let's say you get Gladiator to Rank 30. You get a quest that either let's him go down the holy path of a Paladin, or the destructive path of a Dark Knight. You could even stay as Gladiator. That to me seems like a pretty good solution, too.
Sorry if u misunderstood me, i didnt mean there should be limitless possibilities or that it was practically possible, i was just saying that it leaves the development team a wide range of area they can play with.

In practice, i would imagine there only being 2-3 advanced classes for every basic (ie, GLD would unlock, in part, PLD and Berserker and maybe one). Yes, the system does make a lot of theoritical room for classes, but there is no need for SE to implement them all at once or even at all
