I was going to add Rings/Chakrams to the list but I was at the limit for answer options and had to trim off some of the more wilder and obscure weapon-types like Paintbrushes and Megaphones. >w>()

Dolls <3 And Scythes <3

GUNBLADE! GUNBLADEGUNBLADEGUNBLADE! *Bounces like an excited Lala*

DUAL GUNS

I'm not biased. At all.

Also gunblades, whips, and scythes :D

Why, the most dangerous of course!

MY BODY

*sexy dance*

As long as it's not another type of sword, I'm fine with it

Lulu's Doll.

As a fringe desire: Chainsaw sword

Is mayonnaise an instrument?

• Bombs/Grenades
• Crossbows
• Katana
• Quarterstaves
• Rapiers
• Rifles
• Throwing Weapons
• Something that was not listed
• Serious/Practical Weapons
• Elegant Weapons (though I largely consider reasonable, simple, functional utility of design as elegance)

I'd also like for there to be more of a difference in how weapons function, preferably eventually even within the same general weapon type (e.g. a claw should not work like a pata, which should not work like a cestus, etc.). But that's a pipedream for another day.

No, and neither is horseradish.

I'd like to see more diverse effects of a job equipping similar types of weapons. For instance, a Warrior could equip both axes and warhammers. But, hammers would have a different effect on abilities than axes. Hammers could grant defensive bonuses on your abilities, while axes have an increase in DPS instead. Or if a Machinist uses a short-barreled gun, their cooldowns are shorter, compared to a Machinist who uses a long rifle of some sort could have an increase in DPS. Maybe a Black Mage who uses a wand has an increase in Thundercloud procs vs. a staff that might increase the length of Enochain.

But sticking to the topic, I'd like to see Whips potentially on a Blue Mage or Beastmaster job.

Whips! I'd also like to see fans. Those are my favorite weird weapons. And adding to the above, Grieves for monks. For better kicking. It could replace shoulder tackle with jump kick. That's like the signature monk move.

Top 5
1. Scythes at 52

5. Gunblades & I want more Elegant Weapons Added at 41 each

I'va always wanted a caster that doesn't use a weapon or whose weapons are bracelets/rings, so the whole spellcasting is body and hand movements. Also rapiers and whips. Musical instruments like tamborines would be fun for a dancer, maybe.

Put me down for whips, gunblades (quick side note: love the MCH knifelocks. More please!), and definitely want a hammer tank.

Tonfas and Handcannons

Monkey King quarterstaff fighting.

Scythes, for a Necromancer class. Not really used as a weapon.

The weapons Livia sas Junius uses, gunbaghnakhs. In fact, I'd like any of the Imperial weapon types to be useable, with the aforementioned gunbaghnakhs being the main ones.

Thing that actually has likelihood of being added though that I really want isn't exactly a weapon - that is - Dancer.

Giant Freakin Hammer! ....That is all.

Well, call me simple if you must but, what I want most would be a hand-and-a-half sized European style sword.

Larger then a one handed PLD sword but smaller then a two-handed DRK sword. I dislike having to use a shield on my PLD, but love how they stand and swing their blades. On the other hand DRK doesn't use a shield, but they stand all hunched over and weird (just looks like their asking for back pains at the end of the day) and swing their swords kind of odd-like, mainly with auto-attacks (some are just little jabs do to the over sized nature of the sword).

But with two European sword fighters already in game and the next most likely option being RDM with a fencing sword (which I will never touch do to disliking the stereotyped image that RPG female sword fighters can only ever use fencing swords and never real swords) I don't foresee my hand-and-a-half sword ever being a real thing.

And that's my two gil on the subject. Vote: something not listed.

Hagoromo?


Maybe with dancer?

Halberds for warriors/dark knights

But then MNK would synergize with a class

Hammers
Satellite Discs of sorts (I think it'd be cool for a caster to have these)
Fans
Parasols
Whips
Boomerangs

Whips, Fan, Instrument, Giant Crossbow, Scythe

Looks like lots of people would like to see whips and scythes, which are a few of my personal favorites as well.

I would like to see the more obscure weapons used in the FF series though, like Bells or Boomerangs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kusarigama
Staffs/Quarterstaffs are also a favourite of mine.
Fans can be quite cool as well! Though I prefer the wind magic fan version over the melee one.

Overall, I prefer more exotic weapons like the astrologians sphere over practical ones :3

Dual Pistol, Fan, Scythe, Katana, Gunblade

Rapiers, Whips, Fans, Quarterstaff, Chakram, Hammer... All weapons I'd like the see in the game.

Several of these desired weapons are actually already in the game, but not in the form players wish - scythes are a BTN's secondary tool, and hammers are a BSM's tool. Additionally, gunblades are already equippable by players, but they are not a specific class weapon (Lightning's gunblade the Blazefire Sabre for instance is a GLA/PLD weapon, and several MCH weapons are actually gunblades if you take a close look at their barrels it's clear they have a long blade running along the barrel and beyond the muzzle - here's some examples.)

Hence I don't think you will ever see these become their own unique classes for this reason.

Yeah but don't forget, GLD/PLD use to have daggers as weapons before ROG/NIN was added.
Things can be changed. >w>
