Now, one way that they could work this would be to have the special weapon (be it scimitar, rapier etc.) grant a special bonus/ penalty to the new class/GLD respectively. This would make it disadvantageous for a GLD to wield a scimitar, but would not prevent them from equipping it.
However, you run into the further problem that the main hand weapon function as the " I am switching classes" button. To fix this you could give the new class a different main hand item that functions more like a shield and have them equip the scimitar in the off hand(effectively making them all leftys). But deciding on a main item that works for all the classes future jobs could be quite troublesome.
For those reasons I think that it is highly unlikely that they would give them an already existing weapon, unless it is made into a job instead of a class. all future classes will come with a new weapon, yoshi p. has basically if not explicitly said this already.
So I would have to agree with Sou on this one, either they will have to recon GLD being able to use all one handed blades, or no other class will ever be released with a one handed blade.
I would have to agree. This is why I pitched the idea of Gunblades for Blue Mages.
However, it was also pointed out that this one wasn't a niche fit. Given that? I feel that (as suggested before) whips are a GREAT idea for a BLU if they are to be implemented.
Or you could even go the FFX route, and make them a branch job from Lancers that uses polearms. Either one would work. (I'm in favor of whips, specifically bladed ones)
Where do I sign?
