Next Weapons

[WiccaP]

My husband and I were talking about what weapons we'd like to see in the future. Not necessarily a discussion about what jobs that we might see in the future but specifically the weapons used. Thinking back on weapons that have been seen in past final fantasy games, Id love to see a whip, the double sided sword that zidane used in 9, Selphies Nunchaku. It would be interesting to see if they could make the Rackets or Bells not comical.

What are something you'd like to see.

Double swords. not daggers, but actually dual wielding swords. We get a tease when ever sam bust out shoha ( yes i know its the sheath).

How bout a Orb as a weapon. We do have sage weapons so why not give a magic range a orb that floats around you (come on necromancer!)

AST says hi.

It's somewhat mechanical, but it's still a magic floating orb thing.

You reminded me that I want an emperor's starglobe where the floating cards were invisible


as for new weapons, I'd like something whip related. DRK has a whip sword (I think from Seiryu?) and its unsheathe animation is so satisfying to watch.

Uhmm more like the orb from Aion(sorcerer) or the orb from PWI(psychic)
Astro is a disc btw

No, AST is an astrolabe/planisphere. It is a 3-Dimensional sphere of interconnecting circles.

A weapon may condense when sheathed but that does not change what shape it is when active.

When I meant orb I was thinking more like what Kael'thas has. Instead of holding it in our hand it will float around and then when we use it it transforms into different things like weapons (giant swords to deal a line aoe or something like that) or portals for void minions to come out of.

• Giant mace / clubs with bells, chimes, and like instruments built into the weapon (not necessarily at once, similar giant catalyst shapes and instruments allowed for weapon variants). Like while most are huge cudgel, great maces, one unique one might be a totem with bells chained around it.. Geo Knight like job, with imagery influence from Sauron from Lord of the Rings and Golbez / Ex-, Death.
  
  
• Lantern connected to another object via chain, lantern in one hand chain weapon in the other, usually sharp object like spiked ball, scythe, crystal needle, etc. Used by a soul mage, occult, witch, eldritch, not black theme dark job (so like reds and blues, black is okay but more to the tendrils, crows, etc than black mage, dark knight and reaper). Think the necromancer bone, curse, and soul magic from Diablo games (though I'm not saying it has to be literally that, just color schemes). Blood mage potentially.
  
  
• Also above like jobs, pendant / charm that wraps around the hand and dangles out like crosses (and magical sigils as another variation), as well as three or so phylactery like objects that float in different locations based on the type. Some akin to the blood mage in Warcraft, other juggled behind similar to sage, or above their hand floating. (The visuals of the essence orbs can have variations from floating lost soul like effect, will-o-wisp, others might be empty crystal balls, both changing special effects based on your resources). So if blood mage the crystal balls might be empty and as your resource increases fill and vibrate with an extra sfx, the lost souls would glow fiery.
  
  
• Cloak, Nezha sash, scarf - magical flowing weapon that appears like additional layered gear. Think Bayonetta, Spawn (comic), Dr strange, Voldemort. Could used for a lot, but my vision is for a transformation based job that uses the gear into other forms as a way of customization, and can help with animations. Like if you turned wolf you'd have a huge scarf, Diabolos form with a huge red cape would be epic. Some gear might overlap funny but I feel you could generally make it work.

Whips brings to mind the whip used by Ferry in Granblue, it has a dagger on the end. That's big potential for interesting job design I feel.

These ones sound gorgeous, the dangling pendants in particular could be such an aesthetically pleasing concept
