Request for joke weapons

[Sagittarian]

Those paladins in suits are cool looking but how much cooler would they look wielding an umbrella?

I think they were most common in FF VII but there is a history of joke weapons in the Final Fantasy games. I think it would be neat to have some of these in FFXIV. We have amusing armor/accessories but not weapons. These would basically be for glamour only.

Umbrella, pop-up book, plastic bow, boxing gloves, aluminum bat, foam daggers, Viangaa tooth, ...

Thoughts?

Can the monk get giant foam fingers that say "Scions #1"?

I want t-shirts for lounging. How about a "Save the Opo-opos!" tee!?

[myahele]

maybe in another Hildibrand trial they can drop joke weapons? Like cheese shield?

[JimboTCB]

I want a nailbat and a trashcan lid for my paladin.

I fully agree with this! I loved the gimmick weapons from FFVII and think it would be awesome to have here in FFXIV, just as long as they don't have ridiculous requirements/RNG to gain (maybe put them as prizes in Gold Saucer?).

For those wondering what I'm talking about, in FFVII each character had a weapon that was actually not a weapon but a tool or toy - it had no materia slots, but the tradeoff was that they dealt unusual amounts of damage for that part of the game.

Accordingly, here's my ideas for joke weapons for each class/Job, including the 3.0 Jobs (feel free to add or come up with your own, these are just my ideas, mostly borrowed from FFVII):

GLA/PLD - Nail Bat and Pot Lid (like JimboTCB this is what I thought GLA/PLD would have - great minds think alike )
PGL/MNK - Rocket Punch Gloves
LNC/DRG - Mop
MRD/WAR - Shovel
ARC/BRD - Toy Bow
ROG/NIN - Fork and Spoon
CNJ/WHM - Umbrella
THM/BLM - Lamp Post
ACN/SMN/SCH - Picture Book
MCH - Water Pistol
DRK - Boat Oar
AST- Child's Globe

I thought it'd be cool if Gilgamesh dropped joke weapons, like excalipoor for paladin, does 1 damage to everything.

[SpookyGhost]

MRD/WAR - Shovel

I'd use this, joke or not.

[Nektulos-Tuor]

I'd use this, joke or not.

I want a hammer..

Love this idea. The Moogle weapons were funny, but not quite in the same way.


WAR : Stop Sign (or other similar road sign that's more Eorzea appropriate)
MNK : A pair of tankards
PLD : I have so many ideas for weapons for Paladin... Leek, Swordfish, French Baguette, Chainsaw?, and shields ; Wok, Doughnut, Training Potty, Lalafel tied to a plank (Love the cheese wheel, too!)
DRG : (Again, love the mop or any long garden tool!) Giant Q-Tip
BRD : Trombone with a string up the long part of the tube
NIN : Two pairs of oversize chopsticks, or a pair of any of the suggested PLD weapons. lol
WHM: One of those... Uh, body board things that lifeguards use. Dunno what they're called.
BLM : (Really like the lamp post!) Rubber chicken? lol
SMN/SCH: (The moogle book is already a pop-up book) A single piece of paper with the word TAKTIKS written in crayon and a couple circles and x's with arrows pointing in various directions
DRK : Surf Board? Held at the thin end, obviously... Or maybe a surfboard mounted to a small handle. lol
MCH: An obviously fake looking gun with a BANG flag coming out of the end (I know, not original, but I couldn't come up with something better! ><)
AST: Magic 8 Ball surrounded by Triple Triad cards

So many possibilities...
