Why more weapons?

[KalaKenshu]

I don't get it. The Ifrit weapons are the best in game... and they're basically overkill for the content we have right now anyways. Why not add some cool armor or something? More weapons just seems pointless. AND they're adding more weapons with Garuda?? WHY? WTF???

Is it supposed to be.. Ifrits weps to kill moogles, moogle weapons to kill Garuda? Seems kinda pointless. And then what with those weapons? Once you get them there's really nothing else to do.

Except maybe defeat Ifrit with 5 archers? I don't see why I would keep playing. Especially if the weapons aren't even that great, besides decent looks.

All this were getting anyways, is going to be "Legendary" when 2.0 comes around and wont be able to get it again.. so more or less were getting " Collector's items" So even if they are all weapons it wont make much difference come 2.0

We have no idea what the stats could be they could be situational so ifrit weapons for mobs weak against fire, garuda weapons for mobs weak against wind etc etc etc which gives them all a use.

Also did we really need another thread about this, its the 3rd or 4th I have seen and they are all on the first page, read before posting.

The Ifrit fight and any other primal fights will be ported over to 2.0 so I have no clue what you're talking about. The only thing that wont be in 2.0 is the story line. All playable content/instances/raids are going to be ported over.

Um, nope. Primals are not getting ported to 2.0, they're part of the 7th Umbral Era event.

Instanced dungeons like the Darkhold and also Strongholds will remain in 2.0.

The primal fights will return (eventually), but they will be different from before.

The Stuff Obtained from the Primal fight now, Will be different in the 7th Umbra era. =) That's why things will be Legendary ^^, and they will up the stats and stuff to them, so they will always have that "Legendary feeling" to them =)

^ Wrong. Only legendary items in the future will be upgradable. The current weapons are just to keep us busy now.

Please refer to this thread for an idea of how weapons from each primal can work: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...and-Storyline.

Yeah, I thought we'd get anything but weapons from the moogle fight. I don't get it.
