The harp is a lie.

[Firon]

It looks decidedly like a Scythe. If it is then that means that jobs are getting their own weapons or variants on weapons. The point being, job specific weapons. Kind of negates the whole "weapon types can only be classes" thing.

no its an spear you can see the spear on the left side of the dragoon the way he is holding it.

But look on the right side, between the Bard's arm and the bow. He's holding it upside-down but that is definitely a scythe blade. It extends out pretty far, though the perspective kind of messes with it. It appears to extend outward and up around his leg (since it's upside-down).

There's a pretty convincing image a few pages back that fills in the obscured parts of it - despite being speculative, it seems much more likely that what you're seeing is an elaborate halberd. Lu-Bu Style.

Lu Bu's Halberd

The curved blade on that halberd is more of a crescent shape, the curved blade in the Famitsu cover looks like it definitely extends outward in a single direction and upward. It just looks far too long to be the curved section of a halberd. Also the curved section of the halberd starts in the middle and extends up and down, not outward in a single direction.

Edit: And if we're talking about the little slightly curved blade on the other end, that would be far too short to be what's in the picture there. The blade on that weapon curves outward and upward a good distance.
