While understanding that a single weapon type is core for the class/job system within FFXIV, I can't help but feel that only being able to use one weapon type for the entirety of my character's career is quite restricting, and I wonder if others feel the same?

It's true that I may switch to a different weapon by switching classes completely, however I believe most players will have a main class which they will identify and stick with. And I truly feel that limiting only a single weapon type for then entire game, makes it a quite one dimensional.

I believe a well integrated weapon system is a major part of any successful MMO, and while a magic class may depend on skills/knowledge thus has less need of physical weapons, a war class should be able to use a much wider range of weapons as they are dependent on these tools for their survival.
