your teens all look stupid in different ways. I live in NYC and we got old dudes in bright shirts and young people rocking all black. we got people who wouldnt be caught dead wearing anything but high fashion mens GQ stuff who are age 15, and dudes who are 45 wearing tye dye shirts. At one time putting on a powdered wig make up and wearing pink was considered being manly, what are you basing your definitions of what is old and what is young on. there is no maturity value on flashy, if someone wants to look like liberachie in game more power too him, it would at the very least be amusing to me.

And glowing things can fit in with high-fantasy just as well as they can with your so-called "fairy-tail" fantasy. Trying to claim that glowing things don't fit into a high-fantasy setting is absolutely ridiculous.

Also, just so you know, WoW, Aion, and EverQuest also qualify as high-fantasy, just like FFXIV and FFXI.

And there are going to be tons of people running around with endgame gear, regardless of whether it glows or not, so that's not a valid argument, either.

You must not know of many Scifi series if you think lightsabers are a very specific object.

WoW, EverQuest, and Aion do NOT qualify as the style of High Fantasy XIV represents.

• WoW is in the style of a comic book. (Brightly colored, heavily action based, two teams of "good" and "bad")

• EverQuest is in the style of a 90's fantasy novel. (Medieval fantasy with the lights turned up and fireworks everywhere, riddled with nostalgic fantasy tropes)

• Aion is in the style of a Manhwa. (Stylized realism, heavily action based, two teams of "good" and "bad)

• FFXIV is in the style of a classical fantasy novel. (classical themes, subtle use of magic in comparison with other series, deep in its own pantheon)

Doesn't make any of them any better or worse in terms of themes, just different tastes for different folks.
And mind you this is only a quick comparison. So it's not too refined.

In order to keep this from turning into a big ugly argument, this will be the last point I make on the subject.

NYC, or Jersey Shore?
Go sparkle in WoW. You've got the wrong series if you want to sport your Flaming Sword of Compensation around town.

The only people who want to sparkle are the ones that don't. This isn't the game. This isn't the style.

Subtle bubbles on a water sword, Maybe. If that. Brotherhood, if that.

Half of you all have no clue what artistic design is. You'd love for your WoW characters to be copypasta'd into this world, dripping fire and flashing lights. Add some BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM to highlight how great you (think) you are.

Everywhere you go, Ulda rocks should levetate up from the ground like they do in DBZ. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Look, you're an adventurer. You don't glow. You're just like everyone else. That's the point. You're not Cloud. Cloud gets a flaming sword of inadequacy. You're Biggs. You get an iron hammer of utility.

You all can't equip enough sparkle and glow to be Clouds in this game. Dont' try to be unless you're a Cloud without anything on at all.

Leave the glowing and sparkling to the derp vampires in twilight..

Fail
Fail
Your ass is simply on fire, dude. Nice job.
Will someone please phoenix down it ang put it out of its emo glitter misery?
FFXIV's new and improved fisherman class.
You couldn't look more stupid.
Is this a joke?
Ok that HAS to be a joke.
OH EDWARD!

End topic. You're kidding me.

Square, ignore all these party(I DONT WANT IT TO BE LIKE WoW)poopers. They like the boring, everyone looking the same look. I'm for glowing weapons.

P.S. There is nothing homosexual about twilight Nuru. Be the 'adult' that you are and watch what you say. You can't describe something as gay. SMH

actually theres a dude who is an artist commenting on the thread saying he would like some special effects, i am also an artist, and yeah id like the option for special effects. So are you an artist? did you take design classes? have you created anything visual? Im not even saying that my opinion is law, im just saying its about personal opinion rather than any static laws.

funny you say you got the wrong series if you want be cloud when thats exactly what series this is. How about a guy with a gun thats a sword that explodes if i hit it at the right time. or the game that had a special weapon that was basically a huge glowing sword (atma weapon ff6) or the game where people hurl meteors at you when they are pissed off, and monsters grow giant wings on their back when they try to take over the world.

oh yeah thats this series, over the top and all.
