I would like to see:
High caliber sniper rifle - Such as what you see during Mustadio Bunansa's Last Testament attack. I can see a ranged DPS of this type would be sort of stationary in it's big attacks like Black Mage.
Whip or Whipblade - Anything from leather to chain whips or even bladed whips. Inspired by Castlevania and Quistis(FFVIII), Seven(FF Type-0), Ivy(Soul Calibur)
Morphed Claws - This would be for a morphing type of class such as Terra(FFVI) and Vincent(FFVII). Attacks would consist of swipes, slashes, jump attacks with gap closers and abilities such as Red Mage's Displacement.
Crossbow, Arbalest, Gastraphetes - Same as the high caliber sniper rifle except they are loaded with high-powered bolts. The sniper rifle or the crossbow job would be the ranged DPS that do not have a direct support role such as BRD and MCH but would instead compete with Black Mage, Samurai or Summoner for the massive DPS slot.

A crossbow class (RNG?) - we need a third ranged Job/class (the never implemented Musketeer class (MSK) does not count as as a third ranged class as that's just what MCH became).

Dual wielded swords and pistols. Honestly so many Limsa NPCS have pistols I'm surprised we don't have them yet.

Usually when I think of weapons, they're typically associated with job concepts I'm doing.
Hammer is definitely a more prominent choice, especially given that we've had animations for it since 2.0 with the original Nero fight. Concepts I've done for Green Mage are usually what give a hammer to. Viking could use it, but given the dev team's preference toward historical accuracy when it comes to more standard weapons, I've usually given that a shield and harpoon (also so it'd give more differentiation between it and Warrior).
Dual clubs, not whips, are what I usually see for a Beastmaster job. That might be because whenever I imagine that job, I tend to think less tamer and more Tarzan for it.
Maybe an orb or something that just floats around. I sorta did that with my concept version of Morpher as well as the Saint concept I did on the forums ages ago.
Now if we're gonna have another ranged weapon, I say go big or go home. Either a bazooka (used for my versions of Chemist and Cannoneer) or a crossbow almost the same size as the character using it (Ballastician).
Lastly, a concept I've been working on uses a weapon type that I just call an "arsenal" since the job is based around implementing multiple weapons and revolving around every weapon type. -

Greatbow. You know. Bow. But Bigger. Greatbows are great bows. Would love to see a Sniper job that acts as Bowmage. Physical rDPS but with cast times (As opposed to BRD which has had its cast times removed)
Naginata. Sword... On a stick.
Glaives. Twice the blades, twice the fun! Preferably on a stave base (Think Star Wars twin blade lightsabers) as opposed to the WoW Demon Hunter style.
Gun Gauntlets. I wanna punch someone AND shoot them.
Kusarigama. We have an alarming shortage of blades attached to chains.
Scythe. Move over DRK, the new edgelord is in town ;) (Pls don't make the job that uses this a caster so it's just a glorified staff)
Stave. Yes, we literally have 2 jobs that use them. But Combat stave. For bonking people with as opposed to flinging magick at them.
Aether. As in, kind of like how Alisae made a sword out of her aether before she was given the one made of bubblegum. So you could shift it into different weapon styles, potentially for different actions.
Bombs. Like the Saboteur soul in Rift, where you stacked up bombs on a target and then detonated them dealing damage and effects depending on which ones you applied. -

i'd Love to see whips, Great Mauls, Kusarigama, dual pistols that have vertical blades so melee / ranged physical rather than Melee\ magic ranged.theres more but these are just the top few i could think of at the top of my head for now
-
03-11-2019, 10:17 AMLordMaitreya
Whips/morning star and the job would be a ranged physical dps main stat would be dexterity.
-
03-11-2019, 10:21 AMReiMakoto
A Cane, like some kind of Carnival Chief, you could use it to cast monster magic as support dps.
And call it Blue Mage. -

A huge hammer is definitely the most interesting tank weapon to me and I'm sure they could come up with a lot of nice designs for hammers. Having a pulverising blunt weapon for a change would be the best way they could diversify the role, short of going full DoM tank somehow with a caster that protects itself using forcefield barriers or something. A DoM with barriers and enfeeblements could be called Illusionist and its weapon is... maybe something in each hand worn over the glove and the user makes gestures using them like a mime would, pushing and pulling sort of motions.

03-11-2019, 03:23 PMShurrikhanI don't know what kind of gameplay or niche it could provide, but I would love that aesthetic.Quote:

Garlean Gunblade.
Gunbreaker Gunblade is explicitly different, leaves the FFXIV original available for a hybrid of all 3 DPS 'types'.
Melee sword strikes combined with Ranged Physical attacks and a Casting phase using Garlean Magitek.
--
And then I'm not sure. Cane as a real weapon, alongside Blue Mage as a real job, would be nice. -
03-11-2019, 07:03 PMCaptainLagbeard
More blunt weapons. MNK is lonely.
Additionally, a sniper class could be nice and before "but MCH exists!" MCH weapons do include some carbine rifles, but most are handguns I want some proper full on rifles and sniper rifles... But for the class it could just be HW BRD/MCH of being a ranged physical dps with cast times. -
03-17-2019, 05:20 PMRamessesNow that I look back on several happenstances, Nero's hammer Mjolnir indeed has always had an interesting element from the the onset.Quote:

Hammer/Mace for a maiming melee.
Chakram/Boomerang, or even Blaster Edge for physical ranged.
Something for a scouting melee, but not entirely sure what would be distinctive enough.
Perhaps a whip/chain-whip. -

Two axes (Dual-Wielded)
