There's only been one other FF MMO, which isn't much of a sample size, and the preferred weapon there was scythe rather than greatsword. There is a greatsword specialist in FF11; it's called a Rune Fencer and it's based on a Mystic Knight archetype. Copying FF11 isn't much of a plan to begin with, of course, especially when FF11 is supposed to be borrowed from the series at large, not the other way around.
Aaah, I stopped playing by the time the Rune Fencer came out. Just read up about it and it could be cool to see that make a return in 14. I agree that I would rather see 14 copy from the series at large, and not from just 11. However, if something was done in 11 only i wouldn't be opposed to seeing it used in 14.
