edit: what i ment to say was, how do we learn stronger better skills after equipping the weapons. FFX-2 teaches memories, FFXI teaches us through scrolls. FFXIV teaches through??

Edit: FFVII teaches using materia
Thats why we had to do guild quest to unlock weapon skills and traits by getting enough guild points, the guild teached us the mos important skills, i dont know if those still exist, but that was the main idea of that system, besides there was a level experience point and a class skill point system, with the level system you could be a level 50 character with a "gladiator skill level one" helping you to skill up your class faster and at the end making your own class by combining different classes skills without restrictions, like a gladiator having thaumaturge spells would equal a red mage hybrid.

At the end everything got too complex and the roles werent done as they should have, Now you see a paladin and you know that you'll have a tank in your party, the armoury system its a very interesting one, far more interesting than talent trees used in several new and old MMO's, we wouldnt have any jobs if the game release wasnt rushed in the first place, was a good system but with lots of flaws.
