And maybe for each original class has two or three options of where their class would go.

For example, a Black Mage might become an Elementalist (meaning they only use elemental magic, or possibly use both types of magic, but elemental is stronger) and a Caster (same as Elementalist, but with non-elemental magic.) I actually think FFXIV has a job system kind of similar to this.
This actually sounds a bit like Sword of Mana's leveling system, though I feel your idea gives more of an impact since the classes in SoM you unlock mostly dictate bonuses to weapon and magic types as opposed to changing skill sets
