Weapon versatility for all jobs <Yes, Please>

[Alhanelem]

I think mages get a free pass since their classes don't "train" to actually use weapons, they just channel their power through their tool (you can auto attack as mage, that's it). I dunno, in my mind it just makes sense for 1 class 1 weap for the most part.

There used to be weapon skills, most of which had some kind of magey functionality like restoring MP or lowering magic defense or whatever. My understanding is that these as well as other skills on other jobs were cut becasue of a technical limit on actions per class. Perhaps they'll come back in 2.0 for the occasional times when they come in handy. If they're ranged like the original basic attack was, then they could be used without moving from typical casting range. TP doesn't degenerate while in combat, so from time to time you do have TP to use. Except currently, there are no skills you can spend it on, especially after the cost to use second wind was removed.
