Yo OP haters, I think armory system sounds good on paper but I think its pritty bad implemented, and i dont really think it got any better with the job advancements.

The biggest reason i dont like it, is like OP said, weapons is tied to each class. I want to be able to use a set of weapons for each job. Its quite ugly how they did with Conjurer and Thaumaturge, both use quite the same weapons. Also its going to get even more ugly when they need a new class for each new weapon, then add 2-3 jobs for each class.
