Shared Classes Are Not Failures (ie SCH/SMN)

Conjurer would branch into white mage/astrologian/geomancer since the two latter also share their job story and they all share elements. I mean conjurer is so very nearly a geomancer as it is already.
Thaumaturgy should branch into black mages and red mages because again, it shares their job story. red mages literally exist to redress the imbalance that the white and black mages create.
I can see machinists and dragoons branching off lancers because of the story where they show that it's as effective against dragon hunting as dragoons in the machinist storyline.
I'd like to have rogue branch off to ninja and dancer, it makes sense to me that the rogue would end up preferring being ranged chakram thrower instead of magic ninjutsu user.
arcanists can stay as they are with smn/sch, it makes enough sense as it is
then we'll have monk, bard and warrior stay as a separate branch, they already have their classes and I don't think they mesh well with others in terms of lore.

So for example: you could level gladiator to 30 and become a lvl 30 paladin, if you have heavensward, you can become a lvl 30 dark knight. if you have stormblood, a lvl 50 samurai, if you have shadowbringer you can become a lvl 60 gunbreaker.

Why keep the level disparity? Because it doesn't make sense to get those jobs until you've progressed at the story that meshes with the job story unless they rework all the story but I don't think they would seeing as we're getting less and less backstory on jobs.

Hopefully this all makes sense, I'm not the best at explaining things clearly. :P
