Viper is Missing Something very Important!

Dual Katana!!!!

Yoshi-P, PLEASE!!!! Where are my dual katana?! I need them to finally fulfill my dual wielding Samurai fantasy!

And for that matter, could we also get dualone handed axes for Viper as well? I'd be seriously nice to see a bit of unique variety added to the Viper job's repertoire of glamour weapons. :3

EDIT: Slapping these bad boy here~

They will come in due time, don't you worry o3o/

OK first to answer your post. When a job is made the weapons for that job are all you get. This is how ffxivs job system works.. it may change one day but it's unlikely. If you did see twin hammers it would prolly be on judge job.

As a viper player. What viper is missing is any real sense of job identity... its a snake that uses no venom.. no paralysis and no dot of any kind.. its a milk snake. The references to vipers themselves are weak and job feels more like kirito than a cool hunting job. The scouting element is so nonexistent that it feels like the whole job was put there just to fill that slot out. The job is fun.. but it's not fun for the right reasons.

If I'm gona play a job that feels like a coiled cobra ready to strike.. where is venom? Where is the power.. the hits feel feathery and have no weight to them. Viper feels too lean and the generation combo just looks silly. The glaive combo is much more satisfying to use.. but sadly.. the glaive element of this job.. one of its coolest things... is hardly utilized.. viper really is lacking some job identity. In chinese martial arts the 'snake" stance is about fast and lethal strikes and is 1 of the most dangerous stances to fight.. so the idea of turning a snake into a fighting style isn't even bad.. but se doesn't seam to utilise viper to its potential


Now contrast that against my main, reaper.. and u can see the job identity in everything it does.. even dd giving u soul gauge when enemies die is a great little attention to detail. The viper used to have fangs but they removed them. Also the black mamba is my favourite snake and not a single reference to it *sigh*

I hope so! Doma and Kugane need to be overrun with Viper players dual katana dabbing on their sad single sword Samurai counterparts!!!

Same goes for the army of Lala Dwarves (and that one male Roe Chad dressed in Dwarven gear) whom will instant spawn in Tomra and Komra on the First with their newly minted dual axes!!!! OH. And Limsa, too. But that's mostly for the Miqo'te, Viera and Hrothgar in nothing but 2B leggings.

Not sure why youde wanna drown out the ppl unhappy with viper simplification but feel free to try. There's a lot of us and for some reason the devs do appear to listen to you guys more.

Also it's been 10 years since arr. The game has never allowed for alternative weapons.. unless u count the wands that were quickly removed

The Figmental weapon should have been fish.

DRK has a katana (nodachi, whatever) Odenta Kai

Also a scythe and a club and WAR has a hammer and MNK has all sorts of weapons.

So yes, getting dual katanas for Viper is absolutely reasonable.

Besides those examples, BRD has even had a few crossbows.

PLD has a macahuitl (Meso-American wooden club with sharp obsidian shards embedded in the wood)

Ninja has had western-inspired daggers and knives as well as Middle-Eastern-looking blades and cleavers. Similarly, Samurai has a few European swords.

And that's not getting into figmental weapons giving most jobs something completely different.


Not sure at all how getting a katana for viper is outside the realm of possibility.
