New Grand Company Gear (04/23/2012)

Great interesting weapon design. This isn't FFXI folks-- we're long past the days of recoloured jerkins and hauberks.

They really need to figure out some new incentives outside of weapons and gear, as with each new patch, the previous one's gear becomes obsolete. :/

Yes now we've moved onto silly oversized glowing plastic toys. :rolleyes:

Maybe I'm missing something though, how does crafting gear fall into play with GCs? Would there be a different type of igredient that can only be obtained through a GC in order to craft said gear, because at first I was thinking it was going to be related to a new rank/seal price and with the way seals can be maxed out easily, not a big deal. Curious to that.

And love the blm staff. Even if its just for novelty, stand in afk spot with weapon out. I dont caaaaaaare

Dalamud on THM Staff Oo;

I'd argue but... it's really a matter of taste more than anything. Never gonna change your mind on that.

All I can say is that I'm happy this is the direction we're going in. My unsolicited advice: try to embrace it.

- Darksteel Ore... will we have to mine this stuff up, or create it from existing materials?

- As for Gryffon Hides, I don't know of any griffons currently in-game, lol. New monster, perhaps...?

- If these materials are supposedly difficult to craft with, does that mean crafters will have to do something more involved to make things with them, or will it just be more Lv50+ recipes that function just the same as everything else?

That is what I thought at first too but then I reread it and I think that was just a little back story about the NPC crafters of Ul'dahn and how they were having trouble making a profit with all the GC gobbling up their wares and buyers. So they set out to make reallllly HQ weapons and then sold it to the GC's.

Those weapons we saw are more then likely going to be bought with seals and some new recipes will be released a he same time, but they have nothing to do with each other me thinks.

I love those glowing bricks ..

Remember, this is a fantasy game. All those kids that cried over realism being in a video game and it should look more and more cartoony? They got their wish.

Or the ore and hides is only available through GC since they mentioned recipes?


* New recipes include weapons, armor, and accessories.
* New weapon recipes planned for patch 1.22 are for gladiator, pugilist, marauder, and lancer classes only. Weapons for other classes are planned for release sometime after patch 1.22a.

The only one I like is the THM staff. The others are way too cartoonish..

Do they need to make every weapon transforming?

Next time we will get:

That... may also be true.

I actually ran over to mooglebox to figure out where the hell I could star stocking piling that ore at lol

Imagine my surprise when it doesn't exist yet.


EDIT: Gryphon hide >_< I meant Gryphon hides.

lol i thought that little red thing was dalamund too.

Making materials available through GC would also makes all weapons available to everyone and not only to certain GC since some people worries it might not be available for them.

*facepalm*

Puglist's weapons are always a joke ;O

Ya know, people were like "I WAN'T SHINY GLOWY WEAPONS!!!"

Lance looked awesome before it was opened
Axe looks good when its fully out(no need to hide the blades)
Bow, that's fine.
THM is cool looking, but, like, a little much?
CNJ staff, we already have a flower wand, can't thy think of something else?
Pld... idk looks funky, doesn't sit well with my eyes.
PUGs blocks.......... they grow, they glow, and they don't flow. That is probably the most ugliest thing I've ever seen.

going by the german version and the actual notes, the title might be a bit misleading, as it just announces new materials and those resulting in new crafts (if you are highly skilled).
something else to note: the cnj has a recolored seer's cowl or is actually wearing both a cowl and a mask. same for the thm as she is wearing a cowl and glasses at once!

nice....

but... only gladiator, pugilist, marauder, and lancer received their weapons @ 1.22. ;D

Is it just me or wearing the Charakters on the vid masks and glasses together with hooded attire :x

Someone more noticed that each job is wearing gear which match their job BUT the Gladiator who wears mage armor? Hint of Red mage? doh

Also the Bow has 2 strings on it.

9 out of 10 posts in this thread are complaints.

The Final Fantasy 14 Forum Community has once a gain out done itself.

I see nothing but good news from this: All of the weapons look great, even the pugilsts. For your information, the CNJs moogle weapon is a different kind of flower than this one. Nothing wrong with that. Different flowers bare different meanings. Oh yeah can i mention one more thing: ALL OF THE EAPONS LOOK COOL. Get over your selves and your negative criticism. If you don't like it make a better 3D model and present it to the dev team.

Also, it took an absurd amount of posts for the first person to take note of the Darksteel Ore and Gryphon Hides, much less the new non-weapon crafting recipes. This is a boon for crafters and there's nothing you can say to derail the fact.

I just don't understand how so many people can complain about such a superficial aspect of the game. "ZOMG I HATE MOOGLEZ ON MY FISTS AND NOW U GIVE ME BRIKZ ARE WE JUST A JOKE TO U SE?" really??? Can't you be HAPPY with new content???

I like how the weapons look, so exciting. I just wish us mages would get our weapons in 1.22 too, but we have to wait it seems. :/ Here's to hoping the mage weapons have good stats for once. ^^

I'm not happy with this type of "new content" that doesn't take a long time to get. I'm not talking about killing primals 100xs over, i'm talking about story depth. Whats the point in these weapons? Oh cool, I got it! guess I just beat up on ifrit some more!

Fine, be unhappy with new items and crafted recipes! Be unhappy about a more in depth grand company story line! You want content that takes a long time to get? Go get yourself full Darklight! Oh wait you don't want to repeat the same dungeon 100x over? So what do you want? An obscenely long quest line like FFXI? A hundred quest long story where in the end everone gets the same AF gear and weapons and looks alike? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?

I for one have only one moogle weapon and no darklight. Now with the comming garuda i'm sure i could spend the rest of the time til 2.0 is out cycling through garuda, moogle, AV, and CC and i STILL wouldn't have all of that. But that's not good enough because it lacks some sort of mind f***ing story line right?

Good thing AF wasn't that great >.>. I would rather have a good long story than grinding stuff over and over. I also want stuff that is super rare that only a few people get.
Also, don't you mean all the ifrit weapons everyone has, or moogle weapons? Soon it will be darklight gear that will be popping up.

We're MMO players.


We're never happy.

As i watched the video of these new weapons, i caught myself saying "whoa" out loud. As each weapon unfurled itself, the "whoa"s became louder and louder. I think im looking forward to 1.22 even more now! :)

Believe it or not, there are players with only one or two ifrit weapons and they dont even want the others. And i am sure it will be a long long time til you see full darklight on more than a handful of players on any server.

I also want uber rare loot that akes me feel special and one of a kind. NMs, HNMs, and Primals that drop craftable items that have low chances of HQ would be wonderful. Just MAYBE gryphon hides and darksteel ore will drop from Garuda, but i doubt it...

ahahah Im enjoying how pug gets silly wepaons everytime =P

Shat bricks when I saw the PGL ones ;/

Sometimes I wonder if the complainers ever played any of the other FF games. Weapons seem par for the course.

i grow tired of your crying. After 1 year you should have learn this is just filling content, and no whine could change it.
come 2.0 you can have all your long-time goals you can handle, but not now, so for once stop it

They are new recipes, what story are you waiting to get them?
Wait for 2.0, then we need to make quests for some recipes and you get your story. But for now all what we need to have for the synthese are the ingredients and not the recipes.

Going with the current theme I would venture that the Monk Fists will have Garuda's breasts on them.

"Garuda's Knockers"

the lance and fists are SO stupid (ESPECIALLY the fists), I mean SERIOUSLY, what the f**k?!? I mean WOOOOW wtf is the fists? REALLY SE!? wtf... -.- god damn it... when those come out I'll have to edit the .dat files or something and replace them with something that isn't so damn hideous, that way I NEVER have to see them EVER again!!! they're SO dumb looking... god damn its just incredibly astronomically mind boggling how SE thought these were good looking in ANY way shape or form!! :confused:

lol anyways, I'm done my rambling, just wanted to say how incredibly stupid I thought they were =P
