The harp is a lie.

But you aren't. The top of the bow is tilted away from you.

Or maybe the arrows are decorative.

GEEZ, isn't it enough that a harp integrated into a longbow is a completely ludicrous idea?.

No more crazy than a gun attached to a sword. Besides, perspective does not work that way. The harp would have to be the size of the character holding it and the arrows on it three times the thickness of normal arrows just to match the length of the regular arrows if that where true. And if the arrows where decorative, why have the thing in the first place? It's already a pretty large and ornate piece. At least a harp would serve a function.

Unless this is a joke thread because I can't understand sarcasm without some specific inflection.

Yeah, and if you actually looked closely you'd see that it has the ability to fold down as well. There's a clear hinge-type mechanism in there.

Are we sure it's a scythe? It could be one of those goofy halberds that have a long spear but some stabby stuff (axe or blade) sticking out of it to the side as well.

does the board seem like we're sure of anything these days? ;)

it could be a halberd, or an angled off scythe. I'm more willing to believe halberd, but I welcome surprises

It looks decidedly like a Scythe. If it is then that means that jobs are getting their own weapons or variants on weapons. The point being, job specific weapons. Kind of negates the whole "weapon types can only be classes" thing.

seems to me that dragon knight is a play on words to dark knight. the armor was originally called "evil Armor" in the concept drawings. so when you combine evil armor with scythe and dragon "knight", it makes more sense i think.

and to stay on topic, i hate bow harps.

No one noticed the miqo'te in the bottom right using a fist weapon shaped like a dragons head?

This is gettin' hilarious to a larger and larger degree...
I'm more intrigued about the White Mage nose lacking; it scares me a lot...
