Whips, Fan, Instrument, Giant Crossbow, Scythe

Looks like lots of people would like to see whips and scythes, which are a few of my personal favorites as well.

I would like to see the more obscure weapons used in the FF series though, like Bells or Boomerangs.

Staffs/Quarterstaffs are also a favourite of mine.
Fans can be quite cool as well! Though I prefer the wind magic fan version over the melee one.

Overall, I prefer more exotic weapons like the astrologians sphere over practical ones :3

[Balipu]

Dual Pistol, Fan, Scythe, Katana, Gunblade

[Evumeimei]

Rapiers, Whips, Fans, Quarterstaff, Chakram, Hammer... All weapons I'd like the see in the game.

Several of these desired weapons are actually already in the game, but not in the form players wish - scythes are a BTN's secondary tool, and hammers are a BSM's tool. Additionally, gunblades are already equippable by players, but they are not a specific class weapon (Lightning's gunblade the Blazefire Sabre for instance is a GLA/PLD weapon, and several MCH weapons are actually gunblades if you take a close look at their barrels it's clear they have a long blade running along the barrel and beyond the muzzle - here's some examples.)

Hence I don't think you will ever see these become their own unique classes for this reason.

Yeah but don't forget, GLD/PLD use to have daggers as weapons before ROG/NIN was added.
Things can be changed. >w>
