I think I have an Idea of the next Melee Class!

Axes already exist in the game as well between both BTN and WAR. There's a difference between a small gardening scythe and a scythe like Ranjiit's. They could also rename either one as "sickle" and call it a day.

Warscythes are already a thing that distinguishes between gardening scythe and scythe meant to kill people

Looks like plenty of DRG weapons we have now, including the new relic. Seems like a waste to have both Maiming gear sets use polearms, that would be like the next Scouting job using dual knives but holding them right-side-up

To be fair both of the weapons people have wanted the most recently (Scythes, and war hammer) are technically polearms. It's not like they can get clever with the weapon and make it a transforming weapon kinda like red mage does, the whole sword and focus into a staff is really interesting so they could go the same route as that in making it a "trick weapon"

I've seen the Naginata translated into English as a war scythe sometimes. It's something already in the game though.
