Are we ever getting the ability to dual wield??????

[dragonkyn20]

Well with respect you dont KNOW that right? U cant, They said that about invisible shields to so...it could happen. It would be sweet to add a second sword to the off hand section. WOW does it, many MMO's do it, why cant we in FFXIV U know? Should be do-able.

There was never any talk for an 'invisible shield'. Only thing that came out of this was that SE would try to implement smaller shields. Invisible won't happen because 'muh immersion' would be broken.

OMG read the whole thread ppl....I DONT WANNA NINJA lol, they use DAGGERS....backwards Daggers....not swords.

The new GARO event has an invisible shield.

Weapons in this game "ARE" the job. That's why the jobs that do Dual Wield - Ninja and Monk, their weapons are a singular item. (as for invisible shields, we just got one with the GARO event. Go check it out)

Sorry, but they won't be adding the ability to equip a second sword for gladiators.

Adding dual-wielding for old jobs isn't happening when they could instead put there focus on new jobs with such a focus if they wish. Trust me on this, my name makes me an expert.

[Adachi452]

I already have one lol. Love the thing!

[Adachi452]

So all this..

"Sorry, but they won't be adding this..." And "They will never do that" ect...

well, im sorry too, but im not gonna take anyones word on that bcc your not one of the higher ups on the dev team XD, LET ME PUT THIS REQUEST ON HERE AND LET THEM KNOW WE WOULD LIKE IT! Doesnt hurt to ask right? I know its unlikley they would add it for an OLD job...maybe they will make us a NEW one?

I like the name btw

To Yoshi and the Dev team, if you could PLEASE make a duel wielding sword melee dps class (that MAYBE branches off gladiator? like summoner does for archanist) That would be amazing!!!! pls and thank you!!! two swords, even the swords gladiators and paladins use. held normal, not backwards. Thank you!!

[Rhysati]

I dont know why it gets shot down...i feel like its a valid request...WOW can do it lol...its a very nice aesthetic.

Then please go play WoW if you want ridiculous looking dual-wielded 2-handers that clip through each other.

Hate to break it to you, but it's already been said in live letters that they feel that branching jobs like SMN and SCH will never happen again because it's a nightmare to balance.

As for the rest of your rant: No, most of us are not higher ups in the company and do not have final say. However, alot of us have been around since the beginning and have watched all the live letters, and generally kept our fingers on the pulse of information that the devs have indicated is the direction the game going. So, with that in mind we can more than likely, and with a fair bit of accuracy, tell you that something won't be happening anytime soon, if at all. You are welcome to disagree, but honestly.. you are wasting your time.

OMG learn to title your thread ppl....YOU DON'T WANT TO DUAL WIELD lol, you want to have a dual wield sword class....we have two classes that dual wield already....just not the specific way you want, make your title reflect that.

Because the answer to the question your title proposes, it's we already have had a dual wield job since 2.0, maybe earlier. I was never involved with the 1.0 fiasco.
