FFxiv New Types of Weapons For New Jobs

[Alacran]

I dislike when people say things like Berserker/Viking, seems like it completely ignores the Warrior and it's theme in this game. Particularly when such jobs are paired with a "we need a hammer class!" arguments. Why not a Judge (FFXII), Legatus (FFXIV), or a Enforcer (FFXIV, 1.0)? All of these have been shown to use wield Hammers in the FF titles in the past, or have had allusions to it. In FFXIV, we have two encounters with Hammer using Legatus.

To those that say certain weapons would be to fantastical to be implemented. Please recall we have Sphere Globes with floating magicked cards, aerther rich glowing weapons, invisible shields, floating magicked crystal mediums paired with swords, books, elemental aspected primal egi, Dark Knight magic paired with very large Great Swords, Mages Black/ White/ Red, ect...

Point being, it's a fantasy game. As long it can be thought up, it can exist in the game world.

BlazBlue - Cyber/ Magic Wings use for attacking and defense.

But Legatus is a military rank, not a job

But Legatus is a military rank, not a job

So are Paladin and Dragoon. Dark Knight being a outcast Knight, not actually a job. White, Black, and Red Mage are fields of study. The Arcanist job (class) branches to the Summoner and Scholar, both are not jobs in so far as specializations of a reputable Guild with a necessary function in Limsa Lominsa. By this standard most "jobs" in FF are not really jobs as those without guilds are just adventurers with specialized skills and abilities in comparison to those base classes (jobs). However as it is a game such things happen. These Ranks and Titles are used to very quickly explain the focus and play style of our characters.

One of the things that makes this game appealing to me is that the weapons are relatively realistic, or at least based in reality. And there's a very big difference between having a floating globe as a mage's focus and having a weapon that doesn't actually physically work, like a whip sword. There's plenty of games that feature crazy anime weapons, I for one would like FFXIV to remain as grounded as it is.

I have two suggestions. First, a quarterstaff. I don't know what job this would be for, but it's a dynamic weapon with tons of flashy attacks. And it would add another blunt weapon to the mix, which the game sorely needs.

I'd also like to see a warhammer, but one based on historical warhammers rather than the typical oversized stuff you see in video games. By all means, have gigantic hammers as options, but base the style on the actual, much more compact real-life version.

Uhhh you are aware that the warrior axe is much bigger than real battle axes.
