The existence of GLA lore rules out the implementation of any other Sword Classes. If Blue or Red Mage are implemented, they will not be using a one handed sword. I'm actually very glad of this. It forces the battle team and the FF community to really think outside of the box for a change. What fun is it if every class uses the exact same weapons? Or even just similar ones. Especially when Final Fantasy has such a rich history of fantasy weaponry at its disposal.Â
Also I know dual wielding is extremely popular from FFXI, but it won't happen in FFXIV because of materia. If you have two equippable weapons that doubles the amount of materia you can stack into one stat. Which would make it incredibly OP. If they implement "dual wielding" for say like THF or NIN, it will be in the same fashion as PGL/MNK has dual wield. A single main hand weapon that places a weapon in each hand on the character.
