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

[GTK0HLK]

Charms/Cloth/Dolls-Puppet/GamPieces/HandBells/ChainSickle/Lantern-Torch/MedEquip-Kit/Mega-Microphone/Pole-Quarter/ThrownExp-Alchemic/Whip-Blade/Aether-ManaConstruct/Weapon-Vehicle/TransformingWeapon/OtherThrowingWeapon/NotListed

Is what I chose.

Pretty much, we have touched very western concepts and FF Concepts, And some from other areas of the world.

Guess we gotta get really into the Fringe Eastern Weapon Concepts.

[Always wanted a Dynamis Class. And Something like Master Hong Sokyun's Transformed State Martial/Magical Combat would be interesting. but of course we already got Black/Yellow MNK melee and A few Ranged Skills.

So I guess some More Wall Breaking Magic.]

I'm glad to see dual shields actually ranking here, I figure in ff14 we have Rhitahtyn to thank for people to be more aware of it, but it's a weapon type I've always loved the idea of for some reason, for like 20 years or so.

For a DPS though, I've always liked the gun+sword combo. Not a gunblade, just a duel-wield situation, like people were thinking DT "corsair" WoL might be.

Fans and both Flutes and Musical Instruments were on my list of choices but I cut them because they crept into other jobs' weapons (DNC and BRD). (〃´∀｀)

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.
