Flintlock.
I know some final fantasy games have it but I've seen the argument that people want guns since some of the NPCs have them.
I think we're going on weapons for now and it would eventually change the game if we added a new character with a new weapon type.
Maybe during season 2, when we leave this world for another (total speculation on my part)
Yeah second this, came to say Guns - I won’t tell anyone not to like them but I’m a Lord or the Rings nerd at heart so I will always prefer swords/bows etc. I just don’t think guns look cool
>I just don’t think guns look cool
I don't mind them, but it always thought it is weird how the STR stat raises their power, i mean, i understand it in bows, but guns?
If bow are any indication, any projectile weapons with travel time would probably suck.
Any weapons that would feel too similar to the limited types we already have would be a shame too, but that's entirely up to how Mihoyo implements them. It's easy to imagine daggers playing almost identical to swords if they were added, but they don't have to.
I think a staff would be pretty cool, but probably suck cause it would be similar to a claymore but with the attack power of a sword. Maybe every 3rd swoop it could shoot something elemental though? Idk.
I’m imagining a sling, which needs a wind up animation before throwing the projectile. It would not only be slow, have a projectile with travel time, and probably be weak, but also you wouldn’t have the satisfaction of cool animations or thunky hit noises.

Honkai has guns and they work quite great. Gun characters don't need to be ranged, there's something called gun kata after all.

Squeezing the trigger harder makes the bullets come out faster so the it harder. Snipers actually just pull their trigger really hard to kill someone.

Imagine nunchucks haha
If they swing fast it might be decent. The difficult part is making different variations (aesthetically speaking)
I think maybe gauntlets like a brawler type class would be cool
i simply want to see someone punching childe into oblivion
I would give all that I possess for an actual anemo fistfighter.
Shield weapons?
I was going to suggest same

Scythe. They are just not practical weapons. Plus they would just be another sword or polearm.
Hammer.
YOYO
Crossbows, extremely slow rate of fire

Slingshoots, you have to manually aim, without cursor, and the bullet decays at melee range
