and allowed all characters to use all weapons(minus maybe one 'race' exclusive), would that make a big difference to anyone? I'd personally love to play Pillar!Evie or Staff!Karok. That would be fun.

I dunno, would they get the skills as well? If so, then we might as well not have classes at all. If not, then some classes would be broken. Imagine a spin2win Karok with absorb shock. Yeah.

I would assume that the skills would be "weapon" related. That is, spear!Karoks would still get crappy spear lann roll. Of course, spin2win with absorb shock is quite...sexy~
(Take this insert boss name, I am a literal god!)

lol i kind of like the idea, never really 'played' mabinogi. I started it and then didn't continue...
Anyway, at this point vindictus is just desperate for anything that would make it more interesting. There is literally nothing to do except farm or level up alts. So adding something like that would be so fun...I'd like to see a girl as a lann anyway xD or a guy with a scythe *~*

The idea doesn't really make much sense. Each merc has their own unique fighting style and weapons that go along with it. Karok was trained with a pillar and grappling since his birth, why would he toss out all that training and try to use twin spears? No, they make sense this way.

Kiells was just saying it might be interesting ;) it's obviously not the best idea, but it'd be fun to play like that for a day or two.

Just an idea. Not fully fleshed out, but something to fill in the grinding, y'know.
As far as story goes, well, exactly how many Gnoll Chieftains are there? Is there just a factory that puts them out or something?
(The origin stories of characters are also never brought up in game from what I've seen as well. The smallest mention of character difference is like, one or five quests and the opening dialogue from Marrec)

Well, maybe instead of allowing every character to use every weapon, why not just make it so that the gender could be changed? From what I understand, it's not like it's really set in stone according to the story. They were contemplating making Kai a girl after all. :)

I'd like it if you could switch between your character's weapons during a battle. i.e. switch between scythe and staff for Evie's.

Or expand the primary and secondary weapons.

That...is something I really dig. If there were 'real-time weapon switching'(ala Genji 2), that sounds like it'd be really fun.

I would stop playing if it were more like Mabi.

The weapon switch in the middle of a dungeon.....very interested, you don't know how many times I wanted to switch from staff to scythe or hammer to sword. That would be so fun! Ur staff and suddenly you pull a scythe mid-dungeon *~* -want-

Sadly I don't think this idea has much use, at least for Evie and Fiona (where one weapon is just better 99% of the time). There just aren't many practical applications of this, besides Lann switching to Spears every safe DPS chance and switching to Swords the instant the boss can attack.
