FFxiv New Types of Weapons For New Jobs

[Sylvina]

One of the things that makes this game appealing to me is that the weapons are relatively realistic, or at least based in reality. And there's a very big difference between having a floating globe as a mage's focus and having a weapon that doesn't actually physically work, like a whip sword. There's plenty of games that feature crazy anime weapons, I for one would like FFXIV to remain as grounded as it is.

I have two suggestions. First, a quarterstaff. I don't know what job this would be for, but it's a dynamic weapon with tons of flashy attacks. And it would add another blunt weapon to the mix, which the game sorely needs.

I'd also like to see a warhammer, but one based on historical warhammers rather than the typical oversized stuff you see in video games. By all means, have gigantic hammers as options, but base the style on the actual, much more compact real-life version.

Uhhh you are aware that the warrior axe is much bigger than real battle axes.

Need more blunt and piercing options

For the love of god yes to scythes for a necromancer class or for the dark knight.

Classes MUST be able to use different types of weapons and skill combos and magic combinations are very needed in this game.

And while they’re at it, make elemental damage be a real thing in this game.

Despite the joke that XIV is anime, our weapon choices are mostly realistic aside from the more weird ones with all the unnecessary spikes and filigree on them.

1. No thanks, that IS anime.
2. Have you seen some of nin's weapons? They are swords instead of daggers.
3. With the exclusion of the the Musketeer's Guild, it's unlikely we'll get dual guns anytime soon, plus I prefer one big gun as opposed to guns akimbo myself
4. Would need a new job, hand-to-hand is too much part of monk's identity
5. Do you mean dual wielding axes? Just more dual wielding being used as shorthand for "cool"
6. What is a double-edged spear? Like a double-edged sword that cuts in both directions? We have some of those designs already
7. Neat concept but highly unlikely if we want to stay with grounded weapon concepts. Would need a new job anyway
8. We got the glamour scythe for a few jobs and it doesn't fit them thematically really. Plus as Enkidoh said, we have actual functional scythes on botanist. War scythes always seemed more like modified polearms to me which why not give to dragoon?
9. Another neat concept. Would need a new job for the same reasons as #4
10. Ninja already has that as a mudra ability. Also hi again anime
11. Not against fans as weapons but again would need a new job

And again you are just bumping your blog. Why not take the suggestion I proposed a while back and just make a Xygar's Ideas thread and bump that instead of adding to the massive pile that is GD? Your ideas are just "cool" concepts without consideration how they fit into the world or how they'd even work

These constant threads you make ARE all one topic, your blog ideas. You are just trying to get attention for yourself in a very lazy way
