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!!!!!

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).

You just need soft cap Skills Speed, newbie.

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.

Samurai historically used a variety of weapons. Unfortunately, that doesn't play well with the game's armory system.
