Thank you for the 'new' swords!

[Baldur]

I would like to take this time to express my joy in what the daggers were replaced with in the 2.3 update! (This is not a sarcasm thread.) At first I was a little mad when I heard daggers were going to be given a different model to become swords, because it's good to have varioty. But, when I saw the new models for them, my anger turned into excitement! I was expecting Square Enix to give the daggers models already used by other obtainable weapons. So, I was very delighted when I saw they were given models of weapons only seen on NPC's AND completely new models as well! In my opinion, the swords look fantasic! Especially the viking ones, which look like classic, traditional swords.

So, with that being said, I would like to thank Square Enix for what they have given us (or, in the case, replaced). I know this is something very little in the 2.3 update, and maybe not worthy of a thread. It's just it's been a long time since I've felt this happy and appreciative about something in FFXIV. The little things are very important.

And I would like to express my sympathies for those who have lost their favorite weapons this patch. :-(. I know it sucks to have a cool thing taken and be replaced with something you never wanted. (That is exactly how I felt about FFXIV: ARR at first.) Just hang in there. Rogue and Ninja is just a few months away.

Happy hunting! And thank you for reading, and good fortune to you in your current and future endeavors.

Funny, I still have at least one dagger left untouched on my GLA/PLD - my old dated brass dagger from version 1.0 was not included in the change over. So I'm going to be one of the few GLA/PLDs that still has a knife!

Cherish that dagger! Never give it up for anything! You are among the few GLA/PLD's to have a useable dagger. Be proud and unleash your inner hipster!

You like swords? Me, too!

Haha, most definitely! Even more is it was actually originally made for me by a friend who at the time was about the only friend I had on Ridill in 1.0 (she still plays the game, however sadly she switched servers at ARR's launch). So this lowly (and tarnished) dagger now has much sentimental value to me (along with some other stuff she made for me), besides the obvious benefit of still being a dagger usable on GLA/PLD. So Renala, if you see this, thank you! ^-^

I, too, applaud the morph of daggers into proper swords. As someone who played a THF in FFXI and has been waiting for a similar class/job in this game since 2010, using a dagger as a Gladiator always bugged me.

But, isn't the weapon for Rogue going to be twin daggers (i.e. one slot, like pugilist knuckles and claws)? Would it have mattered that much if Gladiators kept their single daggers?
