Weapon of choice for future DPS?

[Shurrikhan]

Now Tonfas, though...

Tonfas at least are just faintly easier to animate than, essentially, elbow-centric unarmed combat (in alternation with, well, hitting someone with a rod).

Tbh, though, I don't see how the weapon choice itself would be enough to differentiate the user from Pugilist/Rogue.

May I ask what job ideas you imagine might fit the tonfa style?

I would love to see a Blade-Staff like Zidane's later weapons in FF9. Not sure what sort of class it would be, though.

Can we please get a sword wielding DPS?

I realize it's primarily a caster, but RDM wields a Rapier. And Samurai wields a Katana (a type of sword)

The logical (impossible) choice: Fencer should have been a base class for Red Mage and a viable end-game alternative acting as a second, branched job... Continues to use a main gauche rather than swapping the offhand to an ACM (aetherocrystal medium, or w/e it was called).

Not to be THAT guy, but I wouldn't say RDM isn't end-game viable, it just loses a lot of its value after initial progression (Still endgame).

I definitely like the idea though. So are you thinking it'd just be more based on the melee combo, and less on casting?

Yeah I know red mage has a rapier and samurai uses a katana, but I was wanting an actual sword class kinda like the main protagonist in all rpgs lol just a normal sword guy with no shield no tank just attacking with a sword "not katana, or casting" I mean I get what your saying and I even agree. Maybe it would be a waste of time implementing *another* sword wielder. They'd have to make even MORE swords, and more stances for that class. I was just thinking along the lines of how Fidel wields the sword in star ocean for example.

Not sure what sort of weapon it would use, but maybe some sort of Beastmaster like Gau from 6?
