Post DT Poll: What Weapon Types would you like to see added to XIV?

Joy stick, just for the memes

Speaking personally I always enjoy when they implement weapons that are unique and unexpected. Like, things you wouldn’t expect to be a weapon lol. Like Scholar/Summoner’s books, Astrologian’s star globes, Sage’s laser crystals. I absolutely love that traditional FF Bards run into a fight with a literal harp lol, I’d take it over a bow and arrow any day. Or how FF Geomancers usually fight with handbells (I guess ringing it in a monsters ear might hurt them? lol)

I always find it a little boring when it’s something you’d expect like swords (Sorry Viper) or staves or other ‘common rpg weapons’. I think this list has lots of great weapon ideas both for ‘standard’ and ‘non-standard’ weapons. A Chemist job that throws potions would be awesome, or maybe they could have like a medicine bag as their main weapon lol. Maybe you could pull comically weird stuff out of it like a mini malboro that debuffs the enemy or you pull a Puk out of it and it shoots a fireball lol.

Dual-pistols are my most prominent vote here.

Although I'd appreciate it if the FF15 Armiger is included in the next vote. I'd love to see a job inspired by Noctis from FF15 which is likely to be Venat's job as well.

Just give me a melee healer that heals people by hitting them with a hammer. Thank you.

I unfortunately doubt they will give us WoW's holy paladin.

A proper modernGarlean gun combo weapon, like Gaius' gunblade, Rhitayln's unshielded, Nero's Gunhammer... I just really want to play with one of these types of weapons in game.
