The new melee job may be wielding a Zaghnal/Zaghnol?
It's a merge between a hammer and a scythe, an ancient Indian war hammer. Indian traditions mostly inspire Radz-at-Han, hence the connection.
In FFXI, only DRK, WAR, and BST can wield it, and the developers decided to categorise the Zaghnal as a Scythe but with elemental properties. It's a blunt weapon from one side and a slashing one from the other. Zaghnal in the Final Fantasy Series appeared in FFXII (as a boss), FFXI, FFIX.
I have attached an image related to the weapon.
Speculations about Zenos's new job:
Zenos isn't a magic-oriented character, but in Endwalker, he might have decided to tinker with magic because of his newly found weapon. Assuming it was Zaghnal or a (Scythe) as SE categorises it.
Taken from D&D, a Cavalier is a sub melee class that can also fight while mounting; it's a heavy-damage dealing class that can hinder enemies based on the damage taken by the party members aside from their own.
It can lock the target in place, mark it with a magic debuff and force a damage tracker on its allies. The more damage allies receive from the enemy, the higher the job damage becomes. So, staying in melee range is the best strategy this job can do to track everything then charge ahead dealing massive blunt or slashing damage.
I could imagine the new melee class having two stances if Zaghnal was the weapon of choice, a slashing stance and a blunt stance based on the type of debuffs applied. In FFXIV, we can also assume that this job can operate another way, having a partner (like how DNC performs) as your targeted ally to track their damage received, your damage will increase the more damage your partner gets, while you provide them with some benefits in return.
Cavalier wears heavy armour and can wield a variety of weapons; a war hammer is an option.
It's also worth noting that this subclass usually serves royalty or comes from a royal background and stays as far as they can from the "divine", unlike PLD, their motives come from the pure thrill of battle, another connection to Zenos (the thrill of competition).
It is all assumptions for now, but I tried to speculate the same as everybody else.
Thoughts?
