So... that spiderman shirt... (new job tease)

I'm not a big fan of the idea that both new jobs will be using swords as their weapons. If they let Dark Knight have a scythe after Stormblood that'd shake things up a bit more, but idk if they even have any plans for that outside of Yoshi vaguely stating "mebee" in a interview once.

Eh, you never know what the weapon will be. RDM is already confirmed as having a new weapon we never saw in a Final Fantasy before (rapier+familliar).

A sword + a floaty crystal in the off-hand. That's not very innovative. I'm excited to see how RDM actually plays but the weapon isn't really exciting.

I'd like to be able to see jobs that give us nunchucks, Merlwyb's dual weilded muskets (it says they're muskets on the wiki), whips, blitzballs, puppets, a proper gambler DPS, hand bombs, flutes, or brushes someday.

To be honest, I really hope that most of those never come to FF14 as weapons. The only one I'd like in your list are the whip and the double gun (and not even sure about this one since we already have the machinist). The others look like joke weapons and although they can be fun once in while (like yokai watch weapons), I wouldn't want a job based only on joke weapons.

I was just listing off weapon types that have zero presence in the game so far that have been in the series before. Some of those have been Blue Mage specific (Quistis' whip, Relm's brush if you'd count her as BLU), other have been Gambler (Selphie's Nunchuk's, Wakka's blitzball). Gambler's always been kind of out there with the weapons it uses, I'd think that if FF XIV ever implemented it they'd do something new.

We have 3 sword classes counting RDM too and Samurai is going to happen eventually even if it doesn't in Stormblood. So another gun class that obviously already exists wouldn't be that out there. There's also gunblades.

Please don't even think about that job-ruining idea, please. We were already saved from that garbage weapon type by yoshiP and now you chuuni dweebs want to ask for it back? Just don't. Scythes aren't even cool.

You know, it is quite possible to voice distaste for an idea WITHOUT talking down to/insulting people. Just a thought ya know.

Though I wouldn't mind at least one scythe-like weapon to kinda nod to the XI days. Just one. Anyways, this train of thought is goin' off topic. Moving on!

Leave the Scythe to Botanist and the possibility of Necromancer.

I will admit, I don't see us getting a necro class but the idea of undead arms reaching from the ground, conjured mini portals used to strike and such. Wouldn't argue one bit about it myself.

The necro is not kawaï enought to be add to that game sadly :/
The closer we'll get is SUM, the DoT mage with "summons" :/

Pupet Master could be cool indeed, especially if we can control the puppets abilities (like we don't have any ourselves and have differents pupetts)
