sounds like ff2 to me.

Since when have swordsmen been underused? If you talk strictly about the actual equipping of swords, then yes, because they like to give alternatives. If you're talking about the fighting style, then you're sadly mistaken, because sheer hitting, I know, is *my* favorite way to end a battle

I enjoyed the customizing system in ffx and have missed it sorely in playing the ps1 games (except eight that was *sheer* customization, baby) and I wouldn't mind seeing it again, because I mean, vaan really looks like a thief, and it's the obvious way to make thieves useful.
