Just art, or a peak into the future?

SE needs to stop teasing me.

...Is this foreshadowing the addition of two-handed swords? Will we finally have that staple FF weapon? Or is it just more eye-candy?

btw thats a horrible looking greatsword lol, and those drawings looks like a 80's comic magazine XD

What exactly...am I looking at here?

Ah so it's the new update. Pretty cool.

As for the Two Hander, I think the blade is a little busy, but other than that, it looks alright.

It's just one of many types of two-handed blades.

That specific sword would be a Zweihänder, I believe.

And you would be correct on that.

Yes please,......YES PLEASE.

I mean, the way I see it, Thaumaturges and Conjurers have both One-handed and Two-handed weapons. I don't really see a reason for them to not toss 2h swords to Gladiators. It would simply allow them access to a more potent weapon when soloing or not filling a direct tanking role.

Basing an entirely new class around the Greatsword seems like it would be kind of a moot point with the variety of DPS classes we already have.

That Great Sword looks pretty cool, find it funny people complained about the ifrit weapons not looking correct and then that GS looks like a man made normal weapon and people complain about it too... man I love this forum *sarcasm*

one reason to not give them to gladiators would be that gladiators already also get daggers, though I'm not terribly well informed about how different they are from regular swords

I'd imagine it'd more likely be a marauder weapon honestly.

i think the sword looks pretty cool. dont really care for the art so maybe itd look even better in game.

Daggers are just high accuracy/low damage one-handed weapons. Not really any major difference from other gladiator arms - just tailored to a specific use, like the rest of the variations of one-handed blades. However, they lack a weapon with any umhpf - which is exactly what a two-handed weapon could bring to the table.

Marauder already has a two-handed weapon. I'd almost figure we'd see one-handed axes for Marauder before an entirely different type of weapon.

Tell that to my Poison Dagger.
It's the strongest weapon for my level range and it confuses the hell out of me.

I guess it comes down to how you think of it. I always thought of marauder as two handed melee and gladiator as one handed melee.

When they commented on the job art tease, they said all that was planned to be in the game. So I think it'll show up.

I also saw a Muskateer in the Limsa poster.

In the japanese class names marauder is a axe user and gladiator a sword user.

That Zweinhander actually looks badass, much better than half the Infrit weapons.

Actually looking at the Limsa picture... that Taru has a hammer and shield.... I was thinking it was a crafter till I saw the shield... so maybe a mace/hammer class is coming soon to?

if you look at the Gridania poster, the Elder breast is big, will we get to remodel our char soon ?

edit: and I want my char hair around that length

Looks like she's packing two very deadly weapons that can easily turn the tide of any war. Might be a bit unfair if players had access to those epic boss drops.

I saw the Enforcer class a long time ago said to be in the .Dats file
There's a little description to it:
- A Disciple of War.
- Their skill is called "Club."
- Their weapon deals Blunt damage.

I hope it ll be a basic class and not advanced class....
