Bows and Guns being visible

[Kimble]

This isn't so much of a complaint or asking it to be changed but I always did wonder why they weren't able to make bows and guns visible like on the back when they aren't drawn during battle.

Some bows and guns like very nice, mostly the relic/mythics/emps and would be nice to be able to seem them better.

Kinda sucks doing all that work for one of them and not being able to see them/show them off very well.

But, I assume it wasn't able to be done to to weapons like staffs/scythes/Great Axes/etc conflicting with it.

I always wanted this, but I'm afraid it's too late to ask!

Where are you going to put it on the body? We got 2 hand weapons in the back, 1 hand weapons on the sides.

This isn't Vietnam. I seriously doubt that they will be putting guns strapped on chests here.

You know back in the good ole days one could have a sword and bow on their backs. Hell watch LoTR sometime. It's not like it would ultimately cause a huge problem, but I'm pretty sure SE isn't gonna do this for coding problems/ps2 limitations/ff vs XIII (aka SE goes to bermuda)/just not caring enough/insert any reason you want here.

I agree with you Kurd. But we live in a modern society though, and therefor have to use our imagination in what people did back in the middle ages. Most people who actually studied the timeframe in question would know that this game comes nowhere near realistic of middle age timeframe. However, most people who play this game have not studied that timeframe at all, so there we are.

Look at Firion in Dissidia. That would be how to do it, I suppose.

There are at least two characters with bows on their backs in game currently, even though it's cutscene only. Semih Lafihna in the present day Windurst missions, and Perih Vashai in Windurst (S) quests. So it's not like it hasn't been done before, it's just not done for players. I think that a Mithra in one of the early Windurst (S) quests (The one who kinda had an attitude towards Romaa, had just arrived during the "When One Man is Not Enough"/"A Feast for Gnats" bit, leader of the Cheetah Volunteers. Regardless, I can't remember her name.) had a visible gun on her back.

I started playing RNG these last few days and was thinking that it'd be great to have ranged weapons visible when holstered. Can't see it happening though cos there ain't much room left. Maybe if it sat 90 degrees off a 2h weapon with the stock at the other shoulder?

[Bubeeky]

we could also set it up where all of our weapons just kinda hovered in a circular pattern around us, that would be kinda cool or maybe the guns could be attached to our leg?

We spoke to the development team about displaying bows and guns when they are equipped. They looked into the possibility of doing this, but since there are a lot of tasks both system wise as well as animation wise, unfortunately they came to the conclusion that it would be too difficult.
