You were magically zapped into an RPG world...

They have a class list for FF14? Where?

Also it'd be interesting to have a system where in the beginning you have access to all weapon types/stances/spells/skills/whatever, and over time as you use specific types more, the other ones get locked out. If you try to be a jack of all trades your EXP is also fragmented, so you're pressured to specialise, but the game lets you choose exactly what you want to specialise in. Maybe once your 'growth' in playstyle is complete, it generates a name for it. You get the classic Warrior/Priest/Mage titles, and unique ones for the more 'out there' combinations.

Of course in practice it would become evident that some combinations are retarded, and there'd be a subset of skinny, leather wearing half-elves wielding broadswords and fire magic; but that just comes with territory when there's a blank canvas.

this is so awesome

Didn't they say the new system would be weapon-based? I really hope it ends up like this.
