No Dualwielding Pistol MCH ?

[Enur]

Dont think that ever was an idea considered by devs.

Besides, dual-wield guns would likely be a whole new job.

It's a misunderstanding of how the planned but never implemented Musketeer class (MSK for short) was believed to introduced based on Merlwyb dual wielding flintlock pistols (who is class-wise a MSK) and the MSK class icon being two crossed pistols - which means nothing as other classes that also have dual weapons crossed on their icons... don't actually dual wield (MRD's dual crossed axes, GLA's dual crossed swords).

I still wish MCH was simply an upgrade from MSK, but sadly that train has long since left the station so it's one of those oddities of FFXIV 1.0 that was planned but consigned to oblivion due to it's muddled development and has long since been abandoned by the development team.

That was in fact the FIRST plan.
When you started the 1.0 game, there was a scene with on pistol.
After, the lore told you Merlwyb weild 2 relics pistols (annihilator and death penality)
The Musketeer guild should have ben under the maraudeurs guild in limsa.
