The harp is a lie.

Well a Halberd looks like a great axe, but its not, its a lance... point is , not everything is what it looks like

Not everything is what it looks like

Except, of course, the bow-harp. Obviously.

I kid, I kid.

hal·berd
   [hal-berd, hawl-, hol-; formerly haw-berd] Show IPA
noun
a shafted weapon with an axlike cutting blade, beak, and apical spike, used especially in the 15th and 16th centuries.

so the picture shows a scythe on the side which makes it a scythe or a brand new weapon invented by SE.

by definition the "warrior" is actually holding a halberd, ax side, spike on top.hmmmm....

[Obsy]

That polearm is no more a scythe than the [item=4080302]Shellsplitter[/item] is an axe.

I think you all need to shut up and let the thing be released before you can give any opinion on it.

i think we have the right to discuss the game in the official ffxiv forums. your post has not contributed anything, i troll post at best.

Gamer-Developer Etiquette states that we wait until something is released before we form our JUDGMENT of it, sure, but ... not talk about it? That's silly. What else is interesting enough to talk about? We've beaten what there is to beat, own what there is to own, and have done what there is to do.

Ergo, we talk about sh!t we haven't yet, which incidentally hasn't been released yet.

whether it is a bow harp or an inordinately elaborate recurve bow in either case it's a poorly designed mess. There is just as little reason to attach all that junk to a bow whether it holds arrows or is a stringed instrument.

Bad design is bad design...

I'm fairly certain that it's a bow with a harp tacked on... and what looks like a miniature spear, and as azury says... it makes me weep for the future... even if it weren't a harp... it's still just bad.

Each class is getting a job thats been said so its pretty obvious arc is getting bard. Sorry guys but you can always go bare no one says you have to pick a job.

[Arcell]

They all ready said BRD DRG PLD WAR BLM AND WHM were the first jobs. They also said each class is getting a job. That has all already been said. So unless ARC is getting drg or pld I think you guys need to stop Q.Q and just get over it. If you don't want to be a bard the go bare. No one said you HAVE to pick a job. You can always just be jobless arcs. Sorry you didn't get a spec to make you even more OP. Its a harp deal with it.

or they could plan accordingly and switch to a class that will have a job they like. Just like with the mages, you can't please everyone and some people switched. You could easily take a class up to 50 in less than a month just doing leves in a party and behests solo even, faster if you throw some grinding in there..
