Weapons theme ideas

We all know artists and designers who create weapons eventually run out of ideas. This is true of all artists and writers. So let's give them some weapon theme ideas.

Personally I would love if they would make a set of weapons for every job based on this work of art

I am a sucker for weapons that have inscriptions on the blade.

Gold Saucer needs another round of comical weapons. Last time it was all Cactaur theme, but how about just making it comical in general with no specific theme?

Squeaky hammer for Warriors.
Yaoi magazine for the Arcanist branches.
A mop for dragoons. They seem to have an affinity for the floor so at the very least they could clean up when they are done.

I remember talking about a bunch of semi-creppy halloween-themed weapons with a friend once... I dont recall all the details (its been over 6 years now), but I do remember that we wanted the bow to look a bit like a spider and be one of the "unfolding" kind...

So, in general I wouldnt mind to get a bunch of weapons from seasonal events as rewards - creepy ones for halloween, sugarcane-themed stuff for christsmas, maybe heart-particle effects for Valentines day?

I can just say what I tell my FC whenever we have the weapon-glamour-topic up:

:clears throat:

Give me my silly weapons from the Rune Factory series, SE!
Next to classics like carrot-blades and back-scratchers, I want my tuna-claymore---better yesterday than tomorrow!

It takes just a high crafting-skill and one tuna, and ta-daah, you can have your very own Dekash~ (Pia will approve that.)

(For clarification, the Dekash can actually do some decent damage. Especially when tuned.)

Halberds for dragoons
Hammers for warriors
Fans/throwing daggers for dancer
Gunclub for gnb since they don't seem to be undoing the sword sound changes. (no need to revert the explosion ones though)
Whip sword and kite shields for pld. maybe some shields sideways like the dark souls black knights
bullpup firearms for mch
Straight sword type blades for samurai, those ones that are western based. I can't find my lore book for the name D:
Gears/clock and sciencey atomic shaped globes for Astrologian to go with the time theme. Oh wait they destroyed that...
As daft as it sounds, some smaller greatswords with the blunted hand part on the blade for the right hand. Show off some martial skill
Metallic canes for Whm
Some focus type things for blm, let us cast firaja x5 from our fingers not our staffs!
Actual daggers for ninja, not these awkward machetes and swords
Crystal ball type flip outs for our book users

Though i support that yaoi joke item. A signed copy of the lusty Au ra maid anybody? :P

Why stop there? we can make a whole theme of cleaning tools/supplies. feather dusters for NIN, a serving spatula/plate for PLD, etc.

I want the Republican and Late Allagan weapons to be added to match the gear sets.

We don't have enough Lv1 weapon glamours, and the ones we have are rather unevenly distributed.

Serious Weapon designs:

• Would like to see more inscribed weapons, though I think the resistance weapons cover this,more would be appreciated
• Would also like more generally Art-Deco inspired weapons, something from Aumarot mayhaps?
• More crystalline weapons a la the l'Cie Bardhice would also be appreciated. Speakingow which I also want a pair of shields from Lightning Returns (the ones with Rainbow Crystals) and maybe weapons designed around those
• As would more cosmic-themed weapons.

Silly weapon designs:

• How about some seasonal weapons, like Rabbit themed weapons for Haching-tide?
• Could also go the Chocobo route with weapons

In between:

• Want to see weapons that cycle through the entire Light spectrum (may not be dyable unless it was a glow effect but even so it would be awesome to have!)

Thanks mate!

For Bard I wish to get more weapons that look like instruments. Something like Barimbau and Gandiva (HW relic) where the whole weapon looks like an instrument. With such weapons I can roleplay into being more of a bard that somehow empowers the magic arrows trough music (notes) played from the weapon :P

THIS, that's exactly what I wanted to suggest!

Since most of the primals got themed weapons, the coolest one still only has one, Odin. We need to have Odin themed weapons for all roles. It’ll give the Odin fate a reason to be done again for a long while.

Some got added with the Baldesion Arsenal. DRK and SAM if I remember correctly.

I'm ready for my Ifrit-themed gunblade and chakras, please <3

A lot of Prestarting level gear needs to have those added. Maybe as craftable il1 gear?

+1 to the silly items as weapons.


I forget what game did this(guild wars?) but I really like the food based weapons (I think you could duel wield a set of leeks as daggers for example). There was also a lot of just common items wielded as weapons, like a bottle, Stein or rolling pin.

Also, there was an art contest where an armor submission was a lalafel wearing homemade junk armor..like cooking pot helmet, cutting board shield. Very 6 year old homemade Halloween costume.

Give me more of that!

I'd love if more of our guns looked like actual functional guns and not hunks of fantasy loops, handles, wings, and barrels that are twisted into gun-shaped Dr. Seuss creations. There's plenty of inspiration to draw from and don't get me wrong I love the more inspired designs but the lack of down-to-earth ones is jarring. Does realistic count as a theme?

A Megaman style arm cannon for MCN. I don't think it would look off on any of the current animations

Perfect. Even better.

Also this is now my head canon for how Seraph happened.

Sleepy so word ramble time

More subtle glows
Rough, dark iron metal looks
Clear crystal
White metal
Ethereal/kinda see through weapons (not sure how easy that'd be but one of my favorite chanter weapons in Aion was a ghost staff)
I do like the holiday theme weapons idea too
Also more wooden practice weapons
Mmmaybe invisible weapons for more classes? Could just be weird though lol, not sure if that'd work
Would definitely love a folding fan for dancer
Liquid element - more things like the potd and hoh weps but in different colors, pure water/earth/air/fire

Like, I know this was a troll thread disparaging the new whm cane, but personally I love its design and wish we'd get more simpler, less flashy, more practical, but still well designed weapons like that very thematically appropriate whitemage cane.

I know we've gotten a few that fit that description already, BUT I WANT MORE +_+
