My d&d interests are piquing in this. I'd like to see, though its not really a FF sort of thing, but see Mages using their hands to cast magic, rather than a swirling light that surrounds them and then a wave of the hand. Now, granted, that does amuse me when I see my BLM wave his hand and a score of monsters all get blasted at once with Firaga.

But to see the mages using their hand/fingers in casting gestures, before sending out their spell. If they give particular weapons that enhance a spell types effects (see BLM Relic and Flare for instance) that the weapon animation signifies a greater enhancement to the effect (staff pulsing red light, tip flaring brightly for as the spell completes, something to that end)

But I do think jobs should be more unique.

Maybe they already have the intentions to do something?
