You know what Samurai needs!?

[Soge01]

A Wakazashi side arm katana for extra slashing speed and power as an upgrade from just using mainly our main weapon katana!

You can not truly call yourself a Samurai unless you wield a Wakazashi alongside your main katana!!!!!

[Kolsykol]

Are you talking about dual wielding or just for extra skills?
Katanas are two handed weapons, imo at least I'd prefer it to stay that way dual wielding with a Katana always looks and feels silly to me.
But I wouldn't mind it for Hissatsu: Senei for example instead of using the scabard.

They need a naginata and bow aswell. Those were their main weapons. And they were masters of multiple weapons

The Samurai in FFXIV is more of a Ronin I think, '' Samurai '' is just the best and easiest way to describe them and their fighting style.
So it kinda makes sense that their main weapon is a Katana and why their artifact gear isn't Samurai armor.

Though its purely aesthetic, there's an Upper armor that gives you a wakizashi (or something that close enough resembles one, anyway..

Having a daisho would be cool for aesthetics, but I can't imagine them tying a wakizashi or a tanto to any kind of attack animation. Their intent was to be used for indoors fighting, but realistically they were mostly used to behead defeated opponents or to commit seppeku (seppuku? I always forget how to spell it lol).

Extra skills! Plus the scabbard thing you were talking about with Hissatsu: Senei.

A traditional fully armored "Samurai" tank that uses multiple weapons with the naginata and bow/crossbow bearing their main and side arms would be so cool!!!!

Thank you sir/ma'am! I actually made this thread as a half joke, half serious thing, because Samurai I thought would look a bit cooler if it had a little wakazashi side arm it used on occasion. I'll more than likely pick up this outfit for glamour purposes anyway because I actually like this outfit. :3

Though I made this thread half jokingly, I thought it would be a good idea still if Samuari had an used a wakizashi for close range attacks that would be a bit difficult to perform with the katana or when needing a secondary when performing a dual wielding attack, like what Kolsykol pointed out with Hissastsu: Senei.

Lol, I kid! I actually haven't gotten to placing materia on my Samurai yet but I will when I collect enough materia Then nobody will be able to stop me then! >8)

I. AM. SPEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!!

Btw, I LOVE playing Samurai!

These are Ronin though so they would only carry a samurai sword. The one you are referring to wear medium to heavy armor and carry a longbow. But it would still be cool if they added it.

If only the devs named Saumrai Ronin so we then could get a traditional Samurai class as either a tank or light armor DPS, like Dragoon and Reaper. :')
