Multiple Weapons per Class/Job

[Shougun]

I would like to see a Thief dw'ing knives. A Corsair or Red Mage (w/e) dw'ing a pistol/rapier combo. If a Ninja class was created (I am not sure it fits the FFXIV "feel" which is arguably less oriental than FFXI) I think one katana as you stated, or Throwing Star/Wakizashi (short Katana) combo similar to the above mentioned Red Mage ranged/melee blend. The Red Mage (or Corsair) pistol and the Ninja throwing stars could be used at range for debuffing/building TP in addition to modest TP, and then melee Weaponskills at close range.

You cannot not add Ninja. :P

I believe Ninja will be introduced in a new area/expansion along with Samurai (Allowing for the environment to be appropriate). That or they will hightech them a little, and letting environment / theme meet in the middle.

I think they can bring technology into FFXIV over time if they wanted - so you may get a sort of FFXIII/FFXII/Ninja Gaiden kind of thing (FFXIV is kind of at FFXII, Garleans are there but our own cities are at like FFIX and below lol). Though they really dont have to - I suppose we could blow up all the Garleans instead of taking their tech, and Cid could take his sweet ass time developing tech for the alliance.
