    Plz make "Claymore" style class!!!

    I kno Square wanted to make this MMO slightly more unique with a Dragoon class as THE main melee close range class/job using a Lance instead of the normal sword most other MMOs use as a melee dps class (besides hand-to-hand Monk) but for the love of god PLZ gimme a claymore style class. I dont care if its a damn gunblade or not (to be more Final Fantasy authentic*) but anything will satisfy. Preferably more like the "Claymore" manga but ill take gunblade or wutever! >.<

    actually, 2-handed greatswords were used by dark knights in XI to epic slash/smackupsidethehead effect.

    Edit because I'm dumb: Also, FF4's protag (also a dark knight) had the Dark Sword, a two-handed greatsword, as did Leon, another dark knight, from FF2.

    Its quite possible this will be added with dark knight or rune fencer rather than as a gun blade type thing. Both are final fantasy authentic and thus far in the game gun blade stuff has been garlean only no?

    Uhh actually in a lot of Final Fantasy games they use Claymore/Zweihander type weapons. Think FF7, and to be honest I don't think Dragoon was anywhere intended to be the main dps... I mean... Monks have higher damage potential but I won't get into that. Fact of the matter is making the animations, skillsets, particle effects, weapon design, and adjusting the armors to avoid clipping takes a lot of time.

    Classes like Berserker, and Dark Knight generally fit the bill of 2h sword, but who knows when we will see them due to popularity and the like. Highest priority is to fill in missing niche roles in parties, then secondary is popularity, and then finally whatever they feel like adding or bringing back from an old FF if they even wanted.

    EDIT: Sorry since this was just mentioned, Garlean weapons have gunblades yes but their mechanics and fighting style are already in the game THUS making a class/job from that is a lot easier. ALSO I believe it was stated we would get a gunblade class sometime in the future... who knows when that is.

    I originally wanted to be a Warrior because I thought (prior to doing research before the game was released) that Warriors would have two different weapon types to choose from, like how Black Mages / White Mages can use Staves or a Wand/Scepter with a shield.

    I figured the Warrior would used both giant axes and giant swords, and I was aiming exclusively for the giant swords :P
    I'm not disappointed with being stuck with only the axes, as some of them look BA in my opinion, but i've always been a sword guy. I roommate has a couple axes but I own swords lolz.

    I can see a 2 handed sword class easily added.

    Base Class: Knight (Tank)
    -Job # 1: Rune Knight (Tank) (Basically a Rune Fencer from FFXI)
    -Job # 2: Dark Knight (DPS)
