Can the Devs confirm if these items are real or if they are going to become real? :O

If this were real...

this + Almace would just shit on every other 1-hand job.

Real? Not a chance.

Scythe Fly?
Sword Enhances DW, is also rare.
Shield.. A new WS shield Pummel like WS?
Great Katana Gives dragonfall? isn't that a dragoon like weapon skill? Odd but only a sam can equip it.

As nice as it would be, sad to say it's a total photoshop job.

I was thinkin' they're photo-shopped too, but we can always hope.

Even if you disregard how little sense they make in every other aspect, consider the fact that they already implemented the sword and the scythe. They are called Ark Saber and Ark Scythe (not HM's saber or TT's scythe), which I think is enough for these to not make sense.

They are also purely for fun for those who were able to get lucky with the Golden Gobbiebag Giveaway (which I am still very disappointed of, but I've already mentioned the why too many times so that is as they say, that... can only hope the next one, whatever it will be, will be better to see).


Blubb.

Fake... cmon people.

No offense, but its not like it would be the 1st time SE reused a weapon model for more than one weapon, even if it is rather unique, if they were real I could see it being an upgrade like a Relic, or a Mythic's last stage, it has basically worthless stats at the start, but you do some stuff & it reveals its true power.

Model? Sure, but this is more like an actual duplicate than anything, in my opinion. Though it's not like they gave much lore or adventure to the ones allowed to obtain the actually existing ones, even though those are obvious fakes just as well since they're clearly much weaker than what the Ark Angels wield (why would they give you the costume, and who the hell made them anyways?). I blame everything on them moogle suits.

I don't think they originally released the mythics and relics as random prizes to only the few lucky people, did they? Point being: while it could make sense to name them ark weapons, similar to how relic weapons are named in the start, the acquisition becomes a glaring problem, and then we can go back and look at the initial form that doesn't make sense and · · ·

The more I think about it, the more my mind goes out of the monitor! I just can't see it. I did actually play with the thought as well, before your post, but yeah...


It would be fun if they would do something like this, though, and it's not like anything needs to make any sense whatsoever at this point, I guess. ^^;

While your correct, they said there would be a way to obtain them outside of how we did so far. Also keep in mind, we currently only have Sword & Scythe, so depending on how else they would be released would have a depending factor for it. Its kinda like if before Dyna, they gave out 500 free base relic weapons for "all jobs", but the base weapons aren't all to great, its the ones at the end that really matter. As for the current Ark weapons, while they are nice, the only one of any real use is the Scythe, past that its just another costume item. While I like costume items, I would still like to see them become something that is functional within actually playing the game in combat, which is where these would be awesome, just... some need toned down a bit, like that sword.

Yer, they did say they would like to give them out in other means as well. I'm thinking of another badly planned/implemented give-away where single characters obtain multiple prizes and others can't participate with multiple characters. ^^;

I would also have preferred them to introduce the weapons as perhaps rewards from Divine Might II or so, with some actual use. With that said, I doubt the scythe actually being useful was in their mind at all, it just so happens there is something there to use it for, or so I think.

Especially due to the fact that they already implemented two of them as costume items, I can't see them implementing them as items with actual use, but that's me!

I agree, not probable, just a nice idea to explore is all. Also I know the Scythe wasn't really meant to be useful, doubt they had that kinda foresight back when the Ark Angels were thought up, but is thankfully.
