Please do not lock Jobs to the Weapon Class that unlocks them.

The Dark Knight Fans would be mad they can't use a Scyth or Great Sword

You'd still be able to use Great Sword if they designated it as a Dark Knight Job specific equip. There was an image of a great sword model awhile back with the diremite reveals in famitsu...so maybe thats what they had planned.

I mean Thaumaturge,Arcanist, and Conjurer already have 1 and 2 handed weapons attributed to their jobs...so its not like it cant be done right? Honestly great swords fit Dark Knights better than scythes...especially since they've been the most commonly used DK weapon in the past titles...aside from IV, where Cecil used dark swords and shields.

Not to mention the letter X clearly says introduction of Job specific weapons and gear.

Job specific weapons and gear does not necessarily imply additional weapon types.

Assuming thief, red mage and paladin are all usable with gladiator:

Joyeuse could be red mage specific
Excalibur could be paladin specific
Hornetneedle could be thief specific.

All job-specific weapons keyed to a single existing class. A speculative scenario which works just as well regardless of whether jobs end up locked to particular classes or not.
