When Rapiers are implemented, remember one thing

I was mostly talking about in general because it always irked me the way the Rapier (or Epee for those specific people :P) were handled in XI lol. Since it's inevtible they'll get around to adding Rapier class weapons since the long/broad/scimitar can only go so far.

Hell even in Ys VI Adol handled the Livart, Blirante and Ericcil (the Epee) differently xD.

yeah, i agree, D: i wanted rapiers and Epees to have a different combat anim, but sadly they got classed as 'sword' and that was the end of it. FFXI however had those restrictions for a reason, every new anim set required more space, and the ps2 hard drive wasn't exactly huge, they used it a lot more in japan than everyone else did because we didn't get many of the other games to utilise it.

If they made RDM the way RDM was supposed to be, FFXIV would be more even more redmagefantasyXIV than XI was.

A fighter mage class designed with fighter mage mechanics and a magic fencer-type weapon in mind suddenly becoming popular? Naw. >.>

And we agree with you. Rapiers, Epee and Sabers need their own animations, which will (hopefully) most likely be a consequence of the Fencer class being added.
