    two things I'd like to see done that would be fun!

    so rogue/ninja is being released I know the animations are done and just being fine tuned but it would be interesting to see Nunchucks as a weapon especially with a character always in motion. The other thing I was in hakkue manor normal on a new character healing, and I thought about how fun for healers or players with a healing spell, and going back to traditional Final Fantasy to have their healing spells actually damage undead again. Could go so far as aoe heals would heal friendly and also damage undead, maybe give phoenix down damage properties on undead (I know its a pvp item). This of course assuming we deal with more undead as the game progresses if not it would just be unneeded. Hope the devs read and like also as well as other players if not, guess I'm the only one lol.

    I'm not sure about your first idea, but as for healing spells damaging undead, it will probably never happen in FFXIV, simply because of how magic works here - here cure spells are not 'holy' elemental (which is why they damaged undead in past FF games), in fact, there is no 'holy' element in FFXIV at all (the closest to a holy-type element is the 'astral' aspect) - Cure is actually a water aspected spell, and also, the elemental wheel pretty much no longer exists in any really noticible way.

    That and given how in FFXI the healing magic damaging undead trick was abused so much (especially when due to a bug people were doing 99999 damage to undead with Cure I), I think SE are pretty determined to avoid such problems here.

    sheesh, its a game. suppose to be fun not historically correct, you know your playing a game with MAGIC right? even the ninjas in the game will be using "magic" with the whole naruto hand sign style. I just think it would be fun and give a more unique style rather then seeing 1,000 ninjas with swords. Just because healing spells are not classified as "holy" any healing spell should still have a reverse effect on undead and with the knowledge of any exploits like that could be taken care of now that they know about it.

    Pugilist second job Master. Master is a tank role that uses nunchucks.

    Personally I hope we can have Ninja have a hand weave emote we can play around with.
