omg... my EYES!
In all seriousness though, it does make sense that the bells are used in a similar fashion as the BRD instruments. I wonder however if this means the bells will turn out to be an inventory nightmare like the instraments can be - depending on whether you have the relic/empy for your BRD.
Edit: A Great Sword class just for Rune Fencer would be cool - especially if they had a very unique skin to define the class of weapon.

Each person is an individual being, capable of independent thought and unique emotion, deserving respect, dignity, and compassion in all things, at all times, and in all places.
To do anything else denies the self of its humanity.
According to what I have read and figured out from watching the videos is that the GEO Bells is going to be like BRD Instruments (Get ready for Inventory -X for those of you who want to play GEO) so carried in the Ranged slot. As for the RUN the weapon is the Great Sword but from the posts in the forums it looks like some players would like a new sub class for great swords (Example: Claymore and Great Sword are sub classes of the Great Sword) in the form of the a Rune Blade. As for your merits in Great Sword Horadrim you are good for RUN.
Well the OP was about a new weapon type but that was shot down in the start of the post and changed to maybe being a sub class of Great Sword.
runeblade yeah sounds like a sub class, like the hexagun, or the curved blade
I think players are broken

You know i had to check to make sure this thread wasn't super old... Cause a lot of speculation going on here is already confirmed.
Bells are a Ranged/Ammo item, similar to instruments. They cast with them, but are not their primary weapon. This was shown many a time in the JP and NA videos :x.
However, as far as RuneBlade goes, It could simply become another class of greatsword. You know, we have ZWEIHANDERZ or whatever, Blades (Long boring ones), Algol-type, etc... "Runeblade" could be a RUN Specific Great Sword type. I can't imagine that'd be overwhelmingly difficult to program in...
to give more examples
Daggers:
Dagger
Knife
Jambiya
Harpe
Sword:
Scimitar
Blade
Sword
Degen/fleuret
Axe:
Tabar
Axe(Double)
Axe(Single)
Club:
Hammer
Club
Wand
so on, so forth... Basically, adding a new type/class of greatsword that fits the RUN job would be far more likely than a whole new weapon type.
