A Wakazashi side arm katana for extra slashing speed and power as an upgrade from just using mainly our main weapon katana!
You can not truly call yourself a Samurai unless you wield a Wakazashi alongside your main katana!!!!!
You know what Samurai needs!?

Are you talking about dual wielding or just for extra skills?
Katanas are two handed weapons, imo at least I'd prefer it to stay that way dual wielding with a Katana always looks and feels silly to me.
But I wouldn't mind it for Hissatsu: Senei for example instead of using the scabard. -

They need a naginata and bow aswell. Those were their main weapons. And they were masters of multiple weapons

Though its purely aesthetic, there's an Upper armor that gives you a wakizashi (or something that close enough resembles one, anyway..

Having a daisho would be cool for aesthetics, but I can't imagine them tying a wakizashi or a tanto to any kind of attack animation. Their intent was to be used for indoors fighting, but realistically they were mostly used to behead defeated opponents or to commit seppeku (seppuku? I always forget how to spell it lol).

These are Ronin though so they would only carry a samurai sword. The one you are referring to wear medium to heavy armor and carry a longbow. But it would still be cool if they added it.

Samurai historically used a variety of weapons. Unfortunately, that doesn't play well with the game's armory system.

Btw, I LOVE playing Samurai! :D
If only the devs named Saumrai Ronin so we then could get a traditional Samurai class as either a tank or light armor DPS, like Dragoon and Reaper. :')Quote:

Nah, they need a prosthetic arm with blade hidden inside. Perhaps a prosthetic leg with a cannon hidden in kneecap too.

But I really do miss when paintings were used as cover art, FFXIV has so many incredible ones and they're so much more appealing to me than a 3D render of the ingame character looking angry while starring into the camera with a gun.
A painting is just so much more compelling to me and it also ages way better.
