Can we have a Battle King/Battle Queen Job so we can have a Scythe user?

[Zarabeth]

Gets my vote! I miss drk from FFXI and I miss my scythe!

Doubt of actual implementation aside:

In terms of animation and flare it could work great as a heavy melee parallel to DRG and function like a fast GCD job like MNK and NIN with all the swings and spins. Those would easily check all my aesthetic boxes. Could also utilize maybe some magic function, a DoW/DPS alternative to a melee-magic style.

You know all you DRKs want to have an Apoc strapped to your back.

I prefer DRK with Great Sword. Scythes are not common in FF. So, they can just create a brand new job never seen in the saga (talking about main series) for this game which uses Scythes. A DPS or even a Tank.

As stated earlier, I myself would not. I like Great Swords, I like the power, I liked the fact the dev team referenced Guts from Berserk.

I enjoy the fact that abyssal/ voidal magicks are used in our attacks. Have you seen the way Edda's Scythe is used with DRK's atm?

That looks horrible, they are using an ox two handed sword stance with a scythe. A stance that has actual historical use.

Among those that have the option to buy a scythe for their job i feel only Warrior looks as though any of the existing animations were taking into account.

(yes i am jealous that male Roegadyn get to use the GreatAxe like the Housecarls of old...)

Far better to have a job made from the ground up that can make use of the weapon in a new and fun way rather than force it in to one that looks terrible with every swing and stab.

We need someone to share the maiming sets with.

Speaking of Scythe reminds me of Testament from Guilty Gear series and Death from Darksiders. Would love to have a Grim Reaper/Shinigami (not the one from Bleach) job which utilized a 2H Scythe. Maybe a cross between DRK & DRG? Heavy hitting melee with some sort of dark magic animation. Shares maiming set like some players suggested.

i'll throw in my hat for a proper scythe class. one of my fave games, bloodborne, i solely use the scythe in it and i would quite love a cool looking dps with a scythe
