Each class is designated by a weapon. Which means you can't have 8 jobs that use swords be based off of 8 different new classes.
I don't see that as a huge problem. All they have to do is create different sets of the same weapon type for each class/job.

For example, let's say gladiator/paladin, red mage and blue mage all use swords. Gladiator got a set of swords consisting of daggers and short swords and long swords and whatnot. Red Mages could get rapiers and Blue Mages get scimitars or sabers.

Maybe Gladiator already got rapiers and scimitar - I didn't bother to check all their stuff. But it doesn't really matter either. The weapons for red and blue mages simply have to look different and have a different class/job specified in the item description.

Actually, now that I think about it, both Thaumaturge and Conjurer already use different kinds of staves. That seems to work just fine, doesn't it?
