What do you guys think the next caster weapon is?

I honestly can't think of anything that's not already in the game. They might take the FF12 route where maces were well suited for magick characters, but that's a slime chance of happening unless the next caster job has to get in close to do damage of some type.

A new type of magic wand is an option, not the conjurer types obviously but something more along the lines of Harry Potter.

An orb held in the hand.

A magical glove/gauntlet.

A magical ring.

A new type of gun, a flintlock pistol rather than a carbine in the vein of the spell guns from FFT or FFX-2.

[Thayos]

I'm guessing a crossbow.

A rock /points at spriggans.

I want them to bring back the original 1.0 Arcanist design but as a new class/job. They were planned to fight with magical traps and use a mechanical staff.

I would love to see a magical ring or gloves, but I have a feeling that they would be against the magic orb seeing that it would be too close to astrologian weapon.

My guess is a rapier. Or a scimitar.

Something has been bothering me. WHM and BLM pretty much use the same type of weapon (yeah yeah, you can argue whm uses a cane and blm uses a staff, no difference) and SCH/SMN (they are cut from the same class so whatever), yet future new jobs can't use the same type?

But as for wanting, Gun Mage from X-2. Dual magic pistols yes please.

Rapier (Red Mage)

[Daemius]

Rapiers (red mage)
Curved swords (scimitars, shamshirs, etc) (blue mage)

Or if they want to go with less traditional (RE: not like FFXI equivalents) weapons:

Whip (Blue mage)
Scepter/Pole (Blue mage) - Basically the 1h version of what BLM/WHM used to get with options for an offhand. Also fits what Strago used in FFVI and would function similar to the pole weapons that Oracles used in FFT.
