Maybe a year or so from now I'd like to see weapons that get more use out of live action motion capture. Outside of the new weaponskill animations, most of the weapon motions leave a bit to be desired.

So what I'm getting to is I'd want to see FFXIV move away from the MMOs and other games that think battles are no more than weapon swinging.

Here's a list of weapons I think would add a bit of flair to fighting and move away from the swinging grind that plagues many games.

Nunchaku
Bo Staff
3 Section Staff
Whips
Gunblade(perhaps already in the works)
Tonfas (Batons)
Kusari Gama(Chain & Sickle)
Explosives

Now obviously weapons are limited since they are attached to classes, but I hope Jobs will have more options.
