First, as a Dark Knight from FFXI days i'm am quite glad FFXIV gave me a Greatsword over a Scythe as i feel it suits the Knight theme much better. However i also feel that in a magical setting the idea that a weapon should not be used due to limitations of our real world physics seems silly as an argument(Lala frontline fighters, books being used as weapons, we can breathe under water, and uh...magic...). There have been plenty of other IP that have explored much more fanciful weapons. I hope one day see a Sword whip, Scythe, Gunblades, Double Voulge, Shield and Lace, even a paired set of Scimitars (looking at you Blue Mage). The continued growth of this game demands that we not limit ourselves.


Soul Calibur series Zasalamael Scythe use.
