Mismatched daggers?

It'd be nice if offhand slot wasn't useless for 90% of the jobs but I don't really expect that to change.

Well its pretty much a remnant of FFXIV 1.0 just like the elemental wheel system.

the stats on a dagger would be reduced by 1/2

Yep. If SE hadn't felt obligated to bring so much of 1.0's baggage over for ARR, I'm sure they would've made PLD's sword-and-shield a single slot item. They've already had to deal with an awful lot of awkwardness given that whenever a new "best weapon" is introduced, PLD has to have a "best shield" introduced along with it.

I will grant, though, that in the cases of the crafting and gathering jobs, being able to equip two crafting/gathering items at once makes for some pleasant variety in the crafting and gathering processes. I'm not sure that CUL's pan-and-knife or MIN's pick-and-sledge would work quite as elegantly as PLD's sword-and-shield would.

Asymmetry is golden. I want the same for clothing too, mostly gauntlets. I know a few exist already but I'd love to see more. In particular, I'd love a set of fully armoured gauntlets, as in, no skin showing on either arm, but at the same time to have one arm a lot more heavily armoured than the other - not unlike Raubahn... just with the other arm also concealed.

(Sorry for the partial derail, just wanted to use the chance to express those thoughts, haha).

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Whoosh, hahahahaha.
