I wish I shared your optimism lol, but between 1H swords (PLD, RDM), 2H swords (DRK, SAM), gun-swords and soon 2!! swords, I'd say that ship has sailed.

Ideally I would've loved a longsword DPS (closest video game example would be Geralt's from Witcher or whatshisface from Tales of Arise, whose fighting style I'm pretty sure they based on the former) but, if FFXVI is any indication, the devs still can't tell the difference between a (for example, arming) sword and a longsword, or a longsword and a greatsword...

I guess there's... legally-distinct lightsabers? (a few Allagan robots wield something like them already) still, but for variety's sake it'd probably be for the best if they just made it a mace wielder or something.
