Crossbow
Hammer
Gun and Sword
Flail
Bomb
Yo-Yo
Whip

So, my vote its going to be Crossbow...what do you guys think?

Don't forget the Blitzball!!!

Please forget about the Blitzball...

Have a feeling the hammer will be the weapon for the new tank job.

Thorlike job would be so fun for ranged

On the first day of fanfest when Tank and Ranged was confirmed. I tossed the idea of ranged could be something like a "Yo-yo master" to my friends.

Yo-yos are whip like while not being a whip. You send it out and it comes right back. I can even see a fun victory emote that is just walking the dog as the animation.
As for the string. It can be kept as a straight line most cases or even just a battle effect and not a physical part of the weapon's model.
Plus, it doesn't need to be the size of a normal Yo-yo. It can be the size of a ... Blitzball! Plus, Yo-yos have been used as weapons before. Bridget being a popular example.

Plus, when they did the Q&A Yoshi-P said Yo-yo would be easy. For him to say that it could very well mean it's been tested before. So, while not for sure locked in for 8.0 a Yo-yo could end up as a weapon for a job someday.

I think crossbow is too basic and it has to be something unique and new.

We already have a crossbow lb2 and machinist has the auto-crossbow.

I'm thinking P.Ranged is going to be an arm cannon.

The only other P.Ranged weapon I can think of is a slingshot that isn't something the FF series that hasn't already been done as a full on job

Crossbow is a bit samey but I'd still love a crossbow and maybe like a little Falcon-mammet worn as a bracer for a Valkyrie/ Valkner job. birb!

I feel like a Hammer would be too similar in animation to a WAR's Axe. Heck, there's some Axes that ARE Hammers already. Dual Wielding two 1h Hammers, though...

Still no idea what the obsession is with Blitzball as a weapon

I was thinking similar, make Musketeer (the guild has been in Limsa since forever) a real Job, and use Evolved to make it more about the guns, and move MCH even harder into the multitool-Edgar thematics, rather than the half-and-half that MCH currently is. Could bring back the old Ammo system as a gameplay element for it, or even evolve it a bit in some way, like making each shot have an elemental aspect and combos unleash bonus damage effects, inspired by FF Unlimited

Musketeer is technically a 'FF14 unique' Job because other games didn't call it Musketeer specifically
