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

[Hayward]

FF XIV has covered the gamut of weapons so far:

*Broadsword/Shield
*Great Axe
*Zweihander
*Crook
*Staff
*Planisphere
*Shotgun
*Bow
*Lance/Trident/Halberd
*Cesti/Katars
*Grimoire
*Rapier
*Katana/Dagger
*Tachi

Seeing that each job has a unique weapon, what weapons remain for future jobs ?

Two Handed Hammer

[Vanitas]

Hammers, maces, Scythes, other guns I guess, I dunno weaponless harnessing of aether, and that's all I got.

I made a thread about this very topic a few years ago, some great suggestions in there.

Well the possibilities are vast if you think of how many melee weapons there have been in history. Then there's also fictional weapons.

But you could still have stuff like scythes, hatchets, clubs, maces, hammers, whips, fans, darts, boomerang

and balls like in FF X

Instead of the mini-game Blitzball, SE can bring the Blitzballer job ^^

Welp, clipboard ate it.

Sword types can fill an encyclopedia.

Most games use a Slash/Pierce/Blunt system.

So weapons with Slash, are flat bladed weapons like swords, scythes,
Pierce are usually pointed objects like arrows, rapiers, crossbow bolts, small caliber bullets, spears and so forth
Blunt's are things like hammers and maces.

The game lacks any real player blunt weapons other than when you are equipped with crafting tools. That said apparently the pets and the Monk job are the ones that do blunt damage.

So let me run off the list of weapons from some of my job concepts:

*Spear/Harpoon & Shield (Viking)
*Maul/Greathammer (Green Mage)
*Soul (anything based off FFTA Morpher)
*Pole (Dancer possibility)
*Tonfa (also Dancer possibility)
*Saber/Dual Sabers (Blue Mage)
*Crossbow/Dual Crossbows (Ranger maybe?)
*Pistol/Pistol & Bomb Kit (some sort of Agent job)
*Single Dagger (Juggler)
*Coin & Cane (Merchant)
*Grandscythe (whatever would qualify for that "necro" caster title)
*Bell (Geomancer)
*Beacon (Time Mage possibility)
*Scepter/Scepter & Focus
*Bazooka/Hand-cannon
*Strand (what I used for the Saint concept I posted on these forums a while ago)

I'm sure there are even more possibilities than just that. The only thing I would intentionally exclude is the whip, mostly because of how much of a nuisance it usually is to create fluid weapons.

also whips and bells are cannon in the FF games

I'd love to play as a Merchant! Well. Depending on what role it has.
