That's a nice fact you got there.

I do not really care how corny they look, as long as they are not as strong as the Ifrit weapons.
Same Damage (base) Different Stats 9 times out of 10 it will be this.. if weapons keep getting stronger.. things will be too easy to take down at our capped level..
Save the Moogles!1
But seriously we'll be eating good this winter.
Personally I'm hoping the stats are comparable in magnitude, but specialize in another category. For instance, the Ifrit weapons are all about pure offensive power - making the mage weapons and the sword not as desirable.
Which shows how crap the coding/engine/whatever is for FFXIV, I remember reading about Make a Wish getting a sick kid in to the WoW dev team to design and make a weapon, only took an hour or so.
They need to put armor in instead of another set of weapons >< Armor is what I find myself lacking..its just the same ugly gear lol. I thought the weapons from the moogle thing would turn out nice...but they kind of dissapoint me sadly. :( Nothing really epic about them...they remind me of rewards we get from a seasonal event.
Don't get me wrong I love moogles and stuff but they just come off as rushed. Hopefully they will rethink this maybe add some armor and redesign these weapons...but then again who am I fooling...I doubt they will heh.
Armour from Primals is a bit tricky, for content and re-playability it's great. You'd have people doing all Primals to get individual pieces for all their classes..cosmetically..not so much, you'd have a lot of mix-matched skittle players running around with glowing red Ifrit weapons, white/purple Moogle Helms/gloves, Green Garuda Boots/Chests, etc.
Here is an idea Get rid of the stupid weapons they got and make some bad ass ones after ifrit you give us these
Graphical Detail, sure I'll give you that..Quality of design? Perhaps you haven't noticed all the threads popping up saying that these designs are a joke, one of which you're posting in now.
These weapons belong to a Seasonal event, give us Mogtoberfest with these cutesy weapons as rewards.
Behold! Next Christmas we will be adding the most challenging and intuitive endgame content, far more devious than anything we've added before, you'll spend weeks wiping over and over while gradually making progress and finally, you'll be triumphant and be rewarded with amazing armour..like these!

Expecting fierce, serious weapons from a Moogle fight, meant to be light-hearted in visual design, is absolutely silly. I assure you there will be plenty of primal fights with weapons of such taste, but raging over weapons based on cute Moogles being cutesy is just absurd.
I wasn't expecting fierce serious weapons, just weapons with a moogle theme, sword and axe are a good example, they look beautifully crafted and the moogle images are somewhat subtle. Now look at the LNC and ARC weapons, they just stuck a stuffed moogle to the top of them (More-so for ARC, as that's pretty much the only differing thing between it and standard bows).
This. I never expected some epic fierce weapons from a moogle fight. However I was expecting some nice designs. The sword is sort of ok. But yeah like Cale said..sticking a stuffed moogle on top of an ordinary weapon is kinda mundane. Maybe if the bow had moogle wings on it in the middle and had some kind of glow effect...then it would have been cool and cute.
no one is forcing you to get the moogle weapons you know.
