Request: Alternate Weapon Types

[GMERC]

~

What you seem to misunderstand is that this isn't as simple as simply replacing a model of one kind of weapon with a model of another kind of weapon. There seems to be this fundamental misunderstanding that creating entire new animations just to equip them with a new weapon is either easy or worthwhile because of some misguided sense that adding variety is always a good thing.

All that would do is waste a whole lot of development resources that could be better spent actually making another job that might even use some of these weapon types you want so much.

DRK has used Scythes in 3 games. DRK has used Katanas in at least 5 games. You didn't see anyone acting as though Katana DRKs are just something we are entitled to have in FFXIV.

This may surprise people, but just because FFXI did something does not necessarily make that something a staple of that job throughout the series. I'm looking at you, Red Mages embuing their swords with magic.
