I'm all for uniqueness when it works well, but right now it doesn't. Is a name really that important anyway? Would you be upset if they named a new class bard instead of instrumentalist?
I think the names are important. Like I said in my original post. It is more to do with the feel of Eorxea, and the Lore that we have seen and read up to now.

Whats wrong with a class called Instrumentalist, or Musician for that matter that has a primary hand weapon/tool of a musical instrument?

Or, for that matter, how about a two weapon fighting guild for Fencers? Rapier / Stilleto combination?

The weapon based armory has so much potential.

Embrace it. Don't clamor for names to be changed, just because they are not the same as the ones in FF XI.
