Aye, It be huge but looks nice and after looking works with the rest of the look. :P

I have no issue personally with the direction of more Flash weapons, I just think they could be a little more refined and elegant, which would keep them in-line with the very functional look we have now, but give that wow factor.

Or at least make that freaking Bow thinner or smaller or something! plz!.. lol
**Goes off to level LNC for the best (imo) looking weapon.. hmm... or maybe MRD, no LNC I'm Gridanian after all**

edit: Oh and PP
Love the new Sig, Mess around with the delays and you could get something really creepy going on :)

Im guessing these weapons will have en-fire or additional fire dmg on hit

I agreed a bit with your original post, but with your record of 1665 posts and the fact that you want to have the final word no matter what i don't agree with the above quote and had to mention it.

On the OP topic however, the weapons do look a bit bulky. Design is beautiful however, so even if I won't see much of the screen while I shoot an arrow I will probably still enjoy it.

You sig was awesome, now it's even more awesome. :D

I didn't have a chance to view the video until now, but I think everyone's going overboard with the complaints. Considering this is a "god" that we're fighting and all it serves reason to expect the drops would be a little more impressive than the average stuff we've got now. I think the glow isn't bad at all. I was thinking the type of glow you see from weapons in most Korean games such as Perfect World. These don't really even glow, it's just a ember-like effect that appears in the weapon. That said I do think the sizes of some weapons are a little extreme, like the Archer and Pugilist weapons. But overall it's pretty good! Kudos to SE!

eh? so ff xiv is turning into free-to-play mmo now huh?
nothing so special or to be surprise about those weapons design they're on every free-to-play mmos

Perfect World is a chinese mmo.... just so you know

I want all the weapons I am a huge Ifirt fan!
the the bow is abit off if anything they should flip it upside down but i still want it anyway!
So yea there great the look the way they do cause they use parts of him to make them so it great am glad they made weapons like this

Gripes with the patch notes:

• 15 minutes to wait after sucessful Ifrit kill? What is this? Darkhold was only 5 but now we have to wait 15. If it were 30 or an hour (it would still be stupid) but it would be enough time to go do something else, but for just 15 minutes you are merely forcing most people to go afk for 10 minutes before they do it again.
  
• Why do we have to do the rank 30 version before the rank 50 version? I think it takes away from an interesting fight if you have to do an easy version of it right before. Hopefully it at least doesn't have identical abilities.
  
• Those who defeat Ifrit in a party formed exclusively of members from their own Grand Company will earn greater rewards.

Will have a better drop rate, or will earn rewards that are exlusively available to groups made up of one Grand Company?

However this:

"when players within an instanced raid are forced to log out due to a lost connection, they will now respawn near their party members upon logging back in."

makes me forgive all my Ifrit gripes. For now.

Agreed. I hadn't thought about that, but that pretty much what is going to happen. Although, think about it. When you exit Darkhold what usually happens? Do you always go back in immediately, or do you take some time to use the restroom, get a drink, get stuff repaired, replace departing PT members, etc.?

Agreed.

I REALLY hope lvl 50 Ifrit is stupidly tough to beat.

I want to hear people complaining it's too hard, and then I shall laugh heartily.

mwa ha ha ha haaaaa

I chain speed runs until I'm blue in the face! We are hardcore we don't allow these "bathroom breaks".

It's even scarier on the phone version of the forums . The gif lags, and the woman on the left looks like she's trying to bewitch me. D:

^ Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you need to do the rank 25 dungeon before the rank 45 one? If that's the case I think it's fair to have you do the r30 before you do r50.

*perscription medicine commercial voice* Talk to your doctor before playing FFXIV hardcore, as you may be at increased risk for bladder explosion.

No, you did not. They are separate quests.

Totaly agree with this, its just a bad, lazy and outdated design wich I had hoped never seen in this game, ruining that first moment of "Finaly seing that one hard badass boss die" because you already killed his weaker version.

And for what? A 30min extra time sink where people jump on their rank 50s and curbstomp Ifrit just so they can proceed to the real fight?
No thanks, please don't force easymodes down the throat of the ones that want a challenge in their games.

Hopefully the 2 fights are totally different..
I very much doubt it but I can hope lol.

Its not really an easy mode for those near that level. Its odd that they decided to make higher levels beat up the lower level battle though.

Whats with this though:

Furthermore, players in possession of the quest item "Inferno Lamp" are eligible for greater rewards for defeating Ifrit in the Bowl of Embers (Hard).

Do you get the lamp from the early quest?

That wouldn't make sense because you already have to do it in order to even get access to Bowl of Embers (hard).

I hope that the "greater rewards" are the same as the "greater rewards" from all being in the same GC and it is a quest item you can obtain (by accomplishing some task not simply talking to an NPC or getting the quest itself).

Would be a way to equalize rewards for heterogeneous parties with a little more effort required.

That would be nice.

I know I'm a few hours too late, but those weapons are looking strange. Nice but strange. I'm with the other's where they say, that these kind of glowy and oversized weapons should be special rewards from special fights.

But still.... the bow and the lalafall =x it's looking like hes going to fall over lol or the dagger or is it a wand? >_> With blue ball on the end... considered lvling CON after the patch but looking at that dild.... (sorry >_<) I'd better get off with the 2-handed staff and hope its for con's >_>;

But all in all these additions aren't bad. Although there's still much to do with the game.

I thought the Lower level fight might be level capped, now that it's a possible thing with Toto-rak getting one.
