More weapons

Add more weapons, would be cool to see 2 handed maces and stuff for warriors like WHM got 2 handed staffs and wands. Wands should be able to fire a magic orb on auto attack like BRD fire their bow. For BRD's crossbows would be awesome. Gives you more variety for each job. Perhaps scythes for DRK?

I think that would be cool but I think SE may use those type of weapons for future jobs so that would restrict them a bit.

Its kinda silly that the weapon changes the class or job your using. Would be better if you had a list where you could click that certain class or job to activate instead.

With no weapons you would be unarmed and use your fists, mnk auto attack perhaps but slower.

Personally I would love to see multiple types of weapons used by different classes. I was a big fan of FFXI and I loved using Scythe / Greats Sword relics on my DRK and being able to do that would be nice. Dual wielding PLD was also nice with Relic and Utimate for off tanking and switching mid battle was always fun. Come on SE I want to see my DRK with a SCYTHE!!!

Using the souls to change the job or class could work instead of weapon so they could add more.

You'd have to nerf skills while using a wand to make up for the DPS gain....

Relics should be only available to one job, but basic weapons should be availabe for almost everyone, so much fun it would be, seeing Warriors with greatswords and stuff.

I would love to see a greatsword on my warrior. The 290 job weapon for warrior looks just like a scythe as well so warriors could also use scythes.

This makes little sense if all classes could use all weapons it would not fit the game thematically.. I mean think about it a ninja who is using an axe? a bard who is using a sword? these things make no sense.

This will not happen since the weapons are locked to classes (well jobs) and until SE makes some big changes to the class system it will stay that way. so I would cross your fingers for 5.0

This is like the only game where someone devoting their life to learning a combat art decides that the best way to do it is to only use one specific type of weapon.

It's the entire basis of the armoury system. Taking that out would be like taking materia out of FF7. XIV needs some things to establish its own identity.
