2nd Job Predictions

just quoting her :
"RDM isn't iconic to using swords, it's just one of the type of weapons it was capable of wielding"
Never said that RDM can't use swords. Olus that was right, RDM isn't iconic to using swords. When they're locked into specific weapon types, it's either rapier or staves/rods, with a very few exception (thinking of excalibur in FFXII)

I made a point that the RDM used swords from day one. You rise a valid point, but I was wondering if someone could bring an example of the job not being able to use a sword to support the argument/point. I gave evidence against said argument, I am looking for evidence for their argument.
P.S. Basically when were they locked into staves/rods.
