there are two kinds of yari: one is long (peasant yari) another is much shorter (samurai yari). each kind has different variaties. the picture above is more like peasant's one. actually wings of the blade makes swing damage not cut but pierce (we dont need it)
i'm talking about samurai yari

it is shorter, its length is between hafted blade and long hafted blade (140 is good (max 145))

Adding both would be a better. Giving a wider option, and tbh. I don't most of us wants the Ashigaru Yari, instead of the spear looking one.

No, the ashigaru would be another boring 2 directional polearm, basically identical to the ranseur, while the samurai yari could be a more stab oriented hafted blade.

The samurai yari looks like a boring weapon to use, and I don't see why the peasant yari can't have 4 direction attacks. And the samurai yari will be like a staff when side swinging. The peasant yari have those pierce edges sides, which is perfect to use as a 4 directional attack.

Just changing some stuff, if it's got the little blades on the end, why not have a 3 direction polearm with pierce but no overhead?

Because it's too long and would be OP.

Not if the balance on the item is suiting, like the weapon speed, also the Yari should have around 130 range.
