I said they can, not they can ONLY. Sorry but you assumed that yourself.

Yes, but I'm not sure what you're trying to point out from what I said. All I said is Blue Mage can use swords.

"Technically" DRKs, RDMs, SAMs and PLDs all wield swords but the type of sword and shape varies. I do concede though that scimitars and sabers can be too visually similar to PLD's main arm (a handful of their weapons already look like scimitars) so I would think the devs would opt out designing a new job with a weapon-type that's already represented. So unless it's an easily distinguishable new type of "sword," I don't see that as a weapon for a new anything.
Yeah, but it didn't stop them giving the two new jobs a different style of sword. In the end, we're not the ones to decide that.
