That's sort of obvious don't you think? lol What is a tank? Someone who can take damage for any other people while the cleric heals you in return. The damage dealers are the archers and mages which in turn take the mob down for you. So what a tank needs is more defense and hp in order to take more hits.
2 Hand Axe & Sword are out because they are for damage only. But now you have a sword and a SHIELD, which gives you defense. Now I'm not saying that ONLY people with sword and shield can tank, I'm only saying that its the best choice.
I'll use an example from FFXI. As a paladin, they are the main tanks. With a sub job of warrior they are able to provoke (same thing as taunt). They use provoke when the mob is pulled, they continue attacking with their full defense armor, they never use 2 handed weapons. They are also able to heal themselves to create even more threat so the mob will stay focused on them. But this is just an example. So the paladin takes hits, heals himself to take even more hits. Everyone will be safe.
In the case of Fiesta, the paladin job is separated into 2. The fighter has all the defense to take the hits while the cleric heals you. Using taunt every chance you can in order to increase the threat above the healing.
