Again, the problem with this is that GLA already use Scimitars. And it's lore driven. GLA by lore have access to all one-handed blades.Â
Another thing I noticed is that you changed weapons when you made jobs. In FFXIV changing from a class to a job does not alter your weapon selection. It is one weapon per class/job combo. Yoshi-P has said this will remain true.Â
And if dual wielding is implemented it will be 1 main hand = weapon in both hands just like PGL/MNK fist type weapons. That's the only way dual wielding will work in FFXIV without being extremely overpowered by materia.

Not necessarily my friend.
An MMO I played a few years back by the name of R.O.S.E. Online had a very simple answer to this very same problem.
They made dual swords a SINGLE item.
Instead of equipping two different swords, you would equip one item that is a PAIR of swords. Thus solving the itemization issue altogether, as well as the armoury confliction problem
LOL I literally said that in order for dual wielding to work they would have to do this in the exact same paragraph that you quoted from.

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.
