dark knights should get a katana or sephiroth's sword

[Igneous]

Should give us scythes like FF:E

Idk if you guys recall the DRK law weapon, but it was a katana and samurai is coming so you best hold onto it.

Well, if it looks too much like a katana, it may change when Samurai is released, just like GLD/PLD knives all changed into full length swords when ROG/NIN was released.

OP, I would recommend you get Balmung, the weapon bought with Rowena's tokens for doing the Extreme Primal weekly quest.

It's essentially what you're looking for.

To all the people bringing up Samurai, lets remember what the first Samurai in XIV was using as her weapon. Yes, I am referring to Iroha and she counts in ever sense of the word.

I would like too see cloud buster sword for drk, I don't think katana would fit with drk imo. I am really hope they bring Samurai too ff14 I would love too play as one . here too hoping

[Shurrikhan]

Yes. Yes he would.

In that case, I don't understand why. The original post never asked to replace the DRK main weapon. It merely asked for a DRK-usable katana-like weapon, likely to be used as a glamour. DRK already has a couple curved blades... I don't see how this somehow excludes Samurai down the line, especially when so many DRK swords are mere re-sizes of the original (GLD, or in this case SAM) weapon.

I want a dragonslayer-like sword, there is no drk sword that look like it as far I know.

[Ashkendor]

If you made DRK any edgier, they'd cut themselves.

Oh goddess, not this again. SAM was long mentioned as existing in FFXIV way before Iroha came to Hydaelyn. Not only did the Domans hint at 'masterless swordsmen' being common in their homeland during the 2.2 storyline, way back even before version 1.0 was released (when it was still in development), a certain document was leaked and floated around online that listed various planned classes that SE were apparently considering for introduction into the game eventually - as well as legendary 'dummied out' classes like Musketeer, Shepherd and the original version of Arcanist, and less known never-implemented classes like Fencer and Mystic, it also featured two traditional FF Jobs as classes - BRD was one interestingly (which was listed as using 'musical instruments'), and SAM being the other (the later stated as using 'great katanas' as it's designated weapon.

Of course the accuracy and legitimacy of this document is unconfirmed (and even if it is, as it concerns 1.0's development it's long since been invalidated by ARR), but it still does give weight to the fact SAM is an Eorzean Job and that Iroha will not be the Job NPC in the game, because... she is Vana'diel's version of the Job, not the Doman version. It's not like Shantotto started teaching Vana'diel's version of BLM when she arrived in Hydaelyn either after all.

iroha is a special event from FF11
plus the SAM was said to be one of the class considered for the next expansion (as the red mage too) while the anniversary event last years.
