allow us to glamour 1 handed weapons onto 2 handed ones!

Unfortunately as others have implied, these weapons are a relic from a time before...relics. They existed before the glamour system existed.
Moreover, it would look rather awkward since the one handed weapons were designed with one-handed animations in mind.

Does not stop the idle /changepose being the same... How are the animations actually different between canes/wands or staves/cudgels?

They aren't different. Your character does all their casts in the same manner whether they have a one handed weapon or 2-handed weapon. SE would have had to spend more time on animations just for those 2 classes so they just designed casting to accommodate both weapons types.

huh, this is true for the casting weapons indeed...my bad. The fact that every single other 1h+offhand thingy in the game uses the GLD/PLD animations threw me off til i tested it in game
I'd imagine this is because of how the glamour system works. The glamour system is basically an overlay of the regular gear system. They'll let us glamour 1 handed weapons (which only TWO classes in the entire game have this as an issue for, and even then it's only older equipment that's either pre-50 or grandfathered from 1.0, or both) at the same time they let us glamour multi slot items over single slot items and items locked to specific classes onto classes that can't wear it. They'd have to make changes to the glamour system's core features to allow this, and all of those things. Which means a lot of work for what amounts to maybe half a dozen items that people would ACTUALLY want to glamour.
It sucks, but that's just the way it's going to be, especially since they've obviously abandoned 1h weapons for CNJ and THM now.

Doesn't explain how you can glamour one-slot gear (chest/legs) onto multiple-slot gear (cowls, tincans etc). The weapons would just utilize the same mechanic.

And I'd hardly say the i95 weapons are pre-50... and while they're based on earlier weapons, the Levi wand and the Moogle wand are surely not grandfathered from 1.x -- Levi and Moggle Mog weren't available to fight back then, were they? *never played 1.x, so doesn't know*

Moggle Mog was the second primal fight released during the 1.0 series. The fight was absent at launch because SE had to give us a lore reason to fight him again which didn't happen until 2.1.

Right ^^
What about Levi? =D
