FFXIV 2.0 and Weapons?

I'd love to see more weapons being added to the game. It would really add a lot of variety if the different professions/classes had access to more than one type of weapon. I get what SE was trying to do when they first came up with the idea of weapon type = class, but it is really boring.


Examples: Marauders/Warriors being able to use Great Axes, Great-Swords, and dual-wield 1-handed Axes or Swords. Gladiator/Paladins being able to use 1-handed Swords and Maces. Archers/Bards being able to use Bows and Crossbows. Lancers/Dragoons being able to use... well, nevermind. I actually don't have any good Lancer ideas.

If 2.0 is going to be as awesome as they say it is, it better have teacups.

I want magic wep as spellbook too, though it is not very FF like but I want it !

yeah the ratchet and clank weapons would be a great addition to 14!

We have scythes.

Botanists use them.

As far as I know, from datamining way back when FFXIV was first released in alpha/beta, people found classes that haven't been implemented yet:
- A class for whips
- A newbie summoner class
- Some sort of gunblade class (or at least gunblades in the dats other than what the empire uses)
- Pretty sure SAM and NIN weapons are in there somewhere

and a whole plethora of other stuff that we have yet to see.

I'd like to see staff as a viable alternative for MNK, and not in that lame way you could use them in FFXI. Like martial arts staff fighting.

thats what i want to see.

each new weapon should modify your ws's though.

Shihei please w

I want gun versions of all the weapons in the OP. If I can't eventually use a gun scythe I'll quit.

Books can be used as weapons as well for mages.
