[Duuude007]

Dual wielding shields.

One of the Twelve is described as using a Greatshield. Thats a nonexistant class so far... could be interesting.

Halone, the Fury

Halone, mover of glaciers and goddess of war, commands the element of ice and is tied to the fifth month. She is depicted as a relentless warrior holding a bronze greatshield, and her symbol is three spears. Halone is also a bitter rival with Nophica, and is the patron of Ishgard.

Allusions to Halone
■Stone Location: In a place called The Fury's Gaze in the Twinpools area of Coerthas, (11, 20).

RIFLES! The rifles they had on display in Limsa Lominsa at the NPC shop near blacksmith! Not some rinky dink two barreled pea shooter, ACTUAL Musket Rifles!

If Archers can run out into battle wielding a bow that's half their size or bigger than them, Musketeers should be able to run out with a full sized Rifle!
SE Stop teasing us with weapons displayed behind NPC shops that look cool if we cant ever use them! ><

Forks.
I want my culinarian to be deadly D:

[strallaalaa]

shields that have monsters and animals attacking from them would be cool like in this video from merlin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asHUl0kLdU8. could be a black mage meets shield user.

[Cedri]

I still say something that has to do with offensive shield wielding needs to happen.

Dual wield spears
Kama (yeah dual as well)

I like the original Arcanist weopons. The mech staff?

The in game ones were basic but I picture the relic making steam and having moving gears or something.
