The only flaw with FE8's branching promotion system was that there were some classes that were almost completely superior to the other choice. Overall though, I think branching would be great especially if combined with a 3 tier system like Radiant Dawn's.

 

 That would be completely awesome.

And what choices were obvious? I almost always hesitated a bit before choosing.

Druid over Summoner.

Sage over anything.

Assassin over Rogue (if you can take care of doors/chests).

Great Knight over Paladin.

I'd have to look at the numbers again but those were the obvious ones IIRC.

 

 Oh... I made a Bishop instead of a Sage (bonus against Undead is nice).

I made Rogue rather than assassin. Made my Marcia into an assassin, and just had the Rogue for pickpocketing.

Didn't actually use any Dark Magic, so don't know about Druid/Summoner.

And I made 2 Pallies and 1 Great Knight.

 

So essentially, I picked fairly different than what you find obvious.

I picked mine based on raw combat power.  For example:

Great Knight

HP STR SKL SPD LCK DEF RES
/60
 /28
 /24
 /24
 /30
 /29
 /25

Paladin

HP STR SKL SPD LCK DEF RES
/60
 /25
 /26
 /24
 /30
 /25
 /25

Great Knight : +3 STR, +4 DEF, Axe Proficiency
Paladin : +2 SKL, +2 MOV
