Any class going to use a scythe anytime soon?

[Nioh]

Just an idea that popped into my head. It could be another melee or something else?

[Razard]

There already is a class that uses Scythes.

Sooo, you tell me a Marauder / Warrior has no right to wield an axe because the Botanist happens to use one...?

[Kleeya]

Isn't it already the case since a long time ? https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...78c96ac451cf4d

[Edax]

Botanists of the world, unite!

Wasn't Dark Knight originally known for using Scythes? Or am I misremembering? Either way it'd be interesting if they could get the movement right with it.

But botanists use hatchets, not axes!

No, that was just FFXI that added great scythes to the game in a patch (BLMs could use them too in that game), they've always used great swords since the earliest days of the Job (FFII). Really, the closest to scythe use in the game besides BTN is Edda's scythe on the Mogstation. Because of that, it's pretty clear SE will not be introducing a specific great scythe class I'm sorry to say.

In terms of a job that distinctly uses Scythes as a battle weapon there are currently none but there are some Scythes for battle jobs.
WAR, DRK, DRG, BLM, and WHM have access to the Mogstation-only Scythe weapons, the Blackbosom Reaper Collection.
BLM also both the normal and Augmemented version of the Deep shadow Scythe, while NIN has Byakko's Handscythes.
(There might be more but those are the ones I remember/could search quickly.)

Thanks for the clarification! Had a feeling my memory was being faulty. xD
