New Class/Job in 2.2?

[Kitru]

Well my reasoning for being able to have a different wpn for BLU is that DRK keeps being broguht up as a 2nd job for GLA. It's certainly not using a 1 handed sword. It will most likely use a 2 handed sword which PLD most likely won't be able to use.

I wouldn't expect weapons to change from job to job. Class are defined and determined by their weapon choice, not the other way around. It makes perfect sense for DRK, if it's built off of GLA, to keep using a 1h sword and shield, and, honestly, it makes a lot more sense than having it spontaneously switch over to 2h: for the same amount of work, they could pretty much make an entirely new class (they would already have to reevaluate the damage and CDs for it to do proper damage and have a not-boring-as-hell rotation).

If DRK is going to go 2h, I fully expect it to be based off of a second class entirely (I did such a design in my sig). Of course, at that point, I also expect it to be a tank rather than a DPS job since the (appropriate) options for tank jobs are pretty slim (Mystic Knight and Berserker are the only real "iconic" FF jobs that would make sense as tank besides DRK; everything else makes more sense as a DPS or healer).
