Marauder weapon options?

in Final Fantasy XIV

Are marauders going to be limited to just using Great Axes, Gladiators one handed swords and shields etc. It's a small compliant but i was looking forward to wielding some Broad Swords etc 

I've looked around the net and can't really find any answers are we going to be able to mix and match when we unlock jobs like Warrior and will the Warrior be able to wield a multitude of weapons? Or even Duel Wield weapons? There seems an extreme lack of information about this. Then again i might just be looking in the wrong place. 

I'd be very disappointed if each class/job was restricted to it's starter weapon set up of either Great Axe, Sword and Shield and Lance.

    its 1 weapon per class, so yes you are stuck with axe for that job

    Even when you unlock jobs and move onto becoming a warrior, you can still only use a great axe? or a one handed sword and shield. There's no two handed swords in the game?

    Ypour weapon determines your class so you are stuck with it as long as you want to be that class.

    Right i get the classes are stuck with a pre determined weapon set up. But what about the jobs like Warrior surely a Warrior won't be stuck with just a Great Axe :/ 

    Not sure why I'm bothered so much but i'm very disturbed that it looks like my character won't be able to wield a Great Sword lol.

    Jobs are advanced versions of Classes.

     

    Marauder uses a Great Axe, for the Marauder to become a Warrior, they equip a Soul Shard, they are still a Marauder, just now they have access to Warrior skills as well.

     

    Marauder / Warrior will always only use Great Axe.

    Gladiator / Paladin will always only use 1 Handed Sword.

    etc.

     

    EDIT: There are no 2 handed swords in the game.

    It's possible and I daresay likely that they will add jobs and/or classes in the nearish future, at least one you can expect to wield a broadsword and another dual-wield.

    Ok thanks guys :) 

     

    I'm guessing something like Dark Knight will use a great sword and Ninja for Duel Wield. Still a great game i just based my character from a book and he uses a great sowrd. Yep 26 and geeky as feck ;) lol

    Dark Knight will be a Job so it will use the same weapon as whatever Class it is based upon.


    Near the end of 1.x they were going to have Dark Knight be the second Job to Gladiator(because of Kain from FF4) which means that Dark Knights in FF14 would use 1 handed swords.

    The only Class they have talked about adding is Musketeer which will use hand guns and its Job will be Thief.

    I don't see any particularly good reason to make this assumption. It would make far more sense if some of the future jobs were able to use job-specific weapon-types.

    I've never heard about this - but it seems like this is speculation based on the same unwarranted assumption you made above. Also, Kain from FF4 was a Dragoon, not a Dark Knight...you must have meant Cecil.

    The only Class they have talked about adding is Musketeer which will use hand guns and its Job will be Thief.

    I've heard the rumors about Musketeer but nothing but loose speculation about Thief...Also, Thief being the job of Musketeer would seem to contradict your earlier theory that jobs share weapon types with classes...Thieves use daggers, not guns, in the FF mythos.

    Please don't mislead people by passing your speculation off as officially announced fact.

    We don't know what the future holds, my speculation is that we'll see second Jobs for each of the existing classes before we see new classes added (given the latter is a lot of work in comparison).

     

    To do that, it would make sense to give some Jobs new weapons or if they were very lazy, a skill which changed the appearance of the equipped weapons.
