Can We Get A Few Non-job Specific Item Level 119 Weapons Added To The Game?

I'd assume the 7th would be a snake due to the map/art we had originally. I stick by that idea, the light dragon(it's in the update trailer, not much a spoiler to mention it...) I'd assume isn't one of the 7 we were told about. If I'm wrong then so be it but it always made more sense to me that we'd see a Dark Naakual rather than Light for the 7th due to that fact and since it showed a purple snake at the top, Ra'Kaznar seems purple & dark based, and that's more or less the design of all other Naakuals, I'd say my bet's a safe one.

You should really do the latest batch of missions. Not sure if you're into the story, but its definitely some of the best story telling since CoP IMO. The bit about not knowing if the white wyrm was a Naakual or not makes me think you haven't gotten to do them yet.

Good to see someone bringing up that Corsairs are still waiting on an iLevel 119 scimitar/cutlass/sword.

SE gave us the ability to use requiescat and our best and only viable options for a sword weapon right now is an Eminent Scimitar.

Please address this, corsair has an absurd number of dagger options compared to swords.

Jobs having competence with more than one weapon (B or C rank) seems to be completely dying off due to power creep, narrow weapon options, and iLevel mechanics which is worrysome and makes the game less interesting if it continues to be ignored.

I haven't gotten to yet but I was more or less just givin my thoughts on what I've thought would be happening with Naakuals overall since the beginning, and since Ra'Kaznar fit so well with the idea of a snake WK in a lot of sense I figured it'd be done that way still. I figured Outer Ra'Kaznar is the cave like area, similar to the Gates areas, while a later introduced Inner Ra'Kaznar would be the area with the Naakual and such. If I'm wrong then eh, I find out via story or when the 7th is released, but I think it'd fit the way I'm thinking of it.

They need to remember that this isn't XIV where one's weapon type defines one's job.

While I can understand there are not plans to not have every single weapon type in each type of content. I think it's a bit ridiculous not to at least cover all jobs with at least 1 Wildskeeper Reive/Delve Boss weapon. I just think that is really odd and I've been personally looking forward to seeing a new unique skinned katana. Also, I was completely expecting Gessho of all fights to drop a katana.

Except for some jobs it already did, even from the beginning. Ninjas should never be seen holding anything other than a katana, and while SAM can use different weapons, they are the only job that can use great katanas. BRD is the only job that can use instruments, GEO is the only job that can equip bells (not explicitly weapons but they go in a weapon slot), etc. There were only ever a few cases when even the most versatile weapon users would equip things other than their main weapon type- Usually to proc a weakness in voidwatch, or to exploit a strong slash/pierce/blunt resistance, but that didn't happen very often- The most well known example is SAMs using polearms on colibri for their piercing weakness.

Actually NINs can use some GKs.

There's exceptions to everything. What's your point?

But would they ever? no.

the point is you said- "this isnt xiv where a weapn defines your job."

It doesn't in the literal sense in XI, but it does in practice because the vast majority of the time, even loooooong before item levels, loong before level 99, you would still use your main weapon type the vast majority of the time. Unless content arbitrarily forces you to use a bunch of weapons (e.g. voidwatch), people don't. You're dissing XIV and glorifying XI based on something that isn't exactly accurate.
