monk weapon design needs an overhaul

[Levski]

okay but how much longer will monks have derpy looking weapons? where are huge fiat weapons? where are weapons for our feet??? the asphodelos weapons are called knuckles and yet it looks like a tiny knife. sad.

Monk weapons have always been rather unimpressive.

That said, foot weapons likely aren't going to happen. Square already uses two templates for monk, unlike every other job which just has one. And a foot weapon would require, even if they did decide to give the job a third one, that you wouldn't be able to wear footgear while your foot weapon is equipped. Additionally there's a limit to how large any weapon can be, and we've seen the limits recently when they put out the dimension specs for the weapon design contest. They Nypels weapon model (it was the final relic model from Heavensward) is likely about as big as you're going to get before it breaks out of the dimensions allocated to the monk weapon model.
