I don't so much care for the variety of weapons, as I do for unique types OF those weapons. Like the Kraken Club in XI, or the variety of unique equipment common place in FF titles. Weapons that proc drain or other status effects, weapons that are purely elemental (opposed to the weapons we have that simply proc elemental damage), weapons that enhance skills (Much like the artifact equipment) etc. That would be far more interested than new weapon types that, for all intents and purposes, function the same way.
