Swordstaff.

Hey, if it takes a new expansion...

As long as the story's good, I'd put money down on it. ;)

FFXI is kinda in bares bones mode, they are trying to maximise profits and cut costs, don't expect anything that costs to much to implement.

He didn't say they would add it in an expansion, he said it would take as much work to add new weapon types as to create a new expansion pack. They won't do either.

I'll settle for a great axe that happens to only look like it is a huge club made from a dinosaur bone and does blunt on its melee! :cool:

Ever seen a monk with a moogle rod use hundred fists? Bonus points if the great axe makes an absurd thump sound effect when things get hit and still has a worth while dmg rating. Because getting away with it in party would make me die laughing.

Whips can be added as a "Ranged weapon" and would not need a "new" animation

Do you realize how stupid you would look spending time in that aiming pose?

That being said I think one that would be cool is Nunchaku for Monks to wield.

And recycling what's been said before, Weaponskills for throwing weapons such as boomerangs or even throwing stars would be nice as well.

nunchaku would be club for monks as for the throwing stars think how about making sange for ninja a normal trait

whips for dnc, thf, bst and certain other jobs would be neat it would half to be a two handed alternative to jobs that don't use two handed weapons that and the selection would half to include chain sickles and morning stars the whips should have elemental properties to them like a shock whip flame whip attacks 2 and 3 times or binds, stun, paralize, charm

I would like to see a new job class a blade master that can use katana GK GS swords and dagger can throw normal weapons of the catagory listed for one time use plus have a A+ throwing and A+ in all previously listed weapon. His abilities would be the highest parry in the game double attack at lvl99 rate of 75% and triple attack rate at lvl 99 of 50% and quad attack rate at lvl 99 of 30%. Would be able to dual weild, and counter as well and has natural haste that is at lvl 99 20%. The jobs downside is cant wear hauberks or cuirass type armors highest is scale mails and certain sets that sam and ninja can wear but if dual weild can use weapon skills of both weapon types in hand and can split tp to self sc. this would also be a really good subjob to most jobs and with the added trait if set up right might be awsome sub for paladin or have paladin sub for this job for sentinel cause you gonna be a hate monster on this job
