How many more weapon classes can SE bring for new jobs?

[SokiYagami]

Ok, people, just to clear things up: Scythes make absolutely terrible weapons. It takes a lot of suspension of disbelief, when you consider how the cutting edge is perpendicular to the handle. There's a reason they never caught on as actual weapons. It's because all of the physics involved says you get shit for power out of a design like that.

Think about swinging a scythe, and ask yourself, how are you actually meant to be doing any damage with that.

Magic, cause this is a fantasy game where we can outlive real life constraints?

Except it's a fantasy world and nobody cares how things work in real life. The Sea of Clouds is cool and that's all that matters, in real life gravity would spoil the fun.

Giant books and swords that are as wide and tall as people's anime cats are also awful weapons irl, yet we cope.

On that note, the strongest weapon in the game is Julyan Manderville's fryingpan and it's very unrealistic that the warrior of light has yet to utilize it.

[Yudzster]

Double Saber like this dude's

You mean just like how we have to forget Lalas have the physical build of 4 year olds yet they have the strength to hurt creatures/bigger enemies or how we have to forget every flying enemy in this game is just conviently flying within melee range?

[SokiYagami]

Honestly speaking, if we are talking about a grim reaper-grade scythe, the only thing that makes it impractical (imo) as a weapon is probably the strength required to weld it. Which, our characters shown to be never short of. You can slash, cut, stab with it, and it look bad ass like death staring at you in the eye! What's there not to love about it? :x

[SokiYagami]

Other than the DRK, I don't really think the other melee weapon are "sticklers to historical accuracy". And even with that it's mostly just the battle stance too I think?
