Last time I checked, no one ever died from a book or a twig either but we still have ACN and CNJ running around. As I said before, make the class and all its mechanics, then find a suitable weapon that fits. Not the other way around. A caster RDM is not the classic FF Redmage, and since the trinity exists, RDM is 2/3 caster which puts it as either a caster DD or caster healer. Giving it a rapier would only muddle it. As other more melee focused jobs could actually use a rapier as their wpn of choice. I'd like to see RDM as a class that could be all 3 but it wont happen, can't happen unless they have 3 RDM job stones. each one granting a whole set of skills based on the trinity. Can't swap them out in dungeons for obvious reasons.

Blue Mages doesn't need scimitars/sabers/curved swords there has been plenty of instances where they had custom weapons based on the character. Which is my point.
