I don't know if there was any recent news or info about this (i dont think so though), but i would again like to throw my suggestion in to add the ability to dual wield weapons in FFXIV...

Similar to how Raubahn wields two swords, would like the ability to equip a second sword on my paladin/dark knight or a second Axe on my warrior. (Machinist dual guns ect)

Can the game dev please add this???

Even if its just for aesthetics for now...that would make a lot of people very happy to have that option. Thanks team!!
