A Skillbook for all Jobs (idea)

Didn't this used to be how the game worked, with cross class skills?


How about we do this instead with Onion Knight, the next limited job?

Onion Knight will never happen, because SE themselves evidentally evaulated and then discounted a similar class concept called 'Freelancer'/Adventurer back when FFIV 1.0 was still in early development, according to a certain 1.0 class design document that was floating around online years ago (it was meant to have the abbreviation 'SPC', presumedly 'Special', and was stated as being 'bare handed'). Like other such legendary no-show classes like the original version of Arcanist, Musketeer, Fencer, a Bard class that used musical instruments, and Shepherd, this Freelancer class was never implemented, and probably was discounted very early on as pretty redundant as the fundamentals of the Armoury System was developed and refined, including the cross-class system.

Between that and how Onion gear is already in the game for other classes (there is the old 'Onion Doublet' set from 1.0, LNC/DRG's specific Onion set from the Labyrinth of the Ancients, an Onion Shield for GLA/PLD, and no less than three different Onion helms, it's pretty clear an Onion Knight class will never be implemented I'm sorry to say.
