More Interesting Dancer Weapons PLEASE!

[Palslow]

Yes!! got some nice ideas in the reply, ribbons, hand fan, or a floating weapon in a half moon shape for example, similar to the current sage one, make it bigger, floating and circling around the character...that would be so much cooler.

I saw some tank weapons are really creative and cool, please do the same with dancers weapon too.

Y’all don’t like circles mixed with more circles on top of another circle? :/

It would be unusual for them to design a weapon that wasn't held in the same way all the others for that job are, such as a floating set of weapons when the rest are held in hand. Since we have a boss in the new 24 person raid that uses fans in a similar fashion to DNC I don't see why they couldn't model a weapon that way, it's really surprising they haven't yet unless they are thinking of a introducing a new job at some point that does use fans as a weapon.

but for example, white mage can have one handed weapon or 2 handed, or paladin can have shield and sword, dancers can have something similar in that fashion too.

Except WHM can't have 1 handed and shield after a certain point(outside of very limited situations). PLD is built to have both, and the stats on either one is lower than what it would be if it was just the shield or sword. No other class is built to have those types of scenarios. It would be interesting, but I doubt they would go back to the drawing board to add the secondary weapon to other jobs.

WHM and BLM having one handed weapons and a shield is from ARR when I think they had a lot of ideas about how the class and job system might work but ultimately ended up with just a linear path. I suspect they might have had an idea about numerous jobs stemming off of one base class, but after ACN turned out to be a disaster splitting it between SMN and SCH they decided not to mess with it.

I'm with you on this one. The aesthetically pleasing weapons for Dancer are really lacking, imo. When they added the Thordan EX crafted weapons I got a little excited, but then they didn't add any others for us. Just disappointing. There's no explanation as to why we got a Shinryu weapon and no others, either.
I realize we're not alone in this- GNB is in the same boat, and SGE and RPR are way worse off than us. I was hoping we'd at least get Titania or Innocence weapons sometime soon, since we got Hades in one of the later patches of ShB, but I'm losing hope. I just want a bigger selection of sparkly weapons than what we currently have. ;-;

You said exactly what I think!!. also at least the Reaper weapon is big and visible and sage weapon can float, as someone from previous reply mentioned, some of the dancer weapon looks like some sort of body builders' weight plates.....

I thought that meant we'd be getting more different looking weapons after seeing Dancer's AF2 have daggers, but we still only have chakrams/ circles

I’ve always loved the idea of hand fans with blades on the end if I was good at drawing I would have loved to made some concept art for you all.

I just added these photos on my comment in page 1 ^^ Thought everyone would like to see.
