will there ever be a dps war?

snip.

I agree the devs do have the choice of where things come from and yes I feel the next Job for MRD is going to be a DPS.

The other reason I see DRK using single handed swords and coming from GLD is also from the FF universe in FF Tactics, and FF3 where their main weapons again were single handed swords, between this and Cecil who made DRK iconic in the FF universe, is what leads me to believe this.

As for other jobs who knows what will be down the line.

I think Berserker will be the job for MRD, fits the feeling of the class and uses the same weapon.

Same weapon? FF bersekers use fist weapons in most of the games they're in.

Samurai should be a dps tank.

Dps War I meant to say.

I am all for having SAM in the game, but not off of MRD.
If they did that then SAM would have to use 2h Axes based off of how the Class/Armoury system works and that doesn't really make sense to me.
SAM will most likely need a new class to come off of.

guys. guys. guys. there is nothing restricting what weapon you use based on your class. all they would have to do is add a weapon proficiency to the class (marauder), and then make the job crystals exclusive to certain weapons.

Its really not that hard. so sure, war could become dual wield war, but i doubt it will. more likely dark knight(dps) or samurai

That is how the class/armoury system works in this game, equip X main weapon and become X class, for example equip a bow and you become an Archer or Bard if you equip the soul crystal.
Because of this what weapon you use is restricted by what class you are.

They could expand what weapons are available to each class, but I somewhat doubt that they will be doing that as it seems like quite a departure from what the intended design for the system is.

They could however make a special branch of weapons that are specific to a single Job class, such as if they went the scythes for Dark Knight route like in FFXI, but if they did go this route the new weapon would have to most likely be similar to the ones that the class the job came from uses. Either that or they would just lump the new type of weapon into the preexisting weapon class and just have it be a visual difference.

Didn't dual weild come from Ninja sub and not war itself in ffxi?

Its been ages since I played FFXI and I played tank more than damage dealer, but I am pretty sure that is correct and that was what made Ninja such a popular sub for melee characters, that and I think it provided a good boost to evasion/dodging.

I know that in FF Tactics, you had to level Ninja on a character to a certain point to unlock Dual Wielding.
Different game of course, the question just made me remember that.

dps war? no, dps maurader job? most likely yes.
