I just don't like the crystal theme especially since the floating crystals lack volume they almost look like they're made out of paper and have been taped on.
It's like this weird inbetween where they're kinda glowy but also not I'd just rather they go all out on it either way.

I don't really feel like the crystal and glow complements the weapons either I think it looks out of place.

Edit: Or they could just have made the weapons crystals altogether.
They just look messy to me and without clear direction.

Yeah, for some of them it just doesn't work in my opinion, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Like I said, they made an attempt. lol

I'm not a fan of most of the relics myself. DRK is horrible (in my own opinion, at least), but I've been disappointed with it since the Law's Order step where it turned into a slab of metal. I'll just continue glamouring the Recollection step.

DNC, SAM, and PLD look alright. GNB feels way too bulky for a mostly one-handed weapon, and I'm really not a fan of the general crystal "glow" most of these have. This feels like these should have been an earlier step before being refined down into something with more job identity, such as WHM's stick (which could have made a nice flowering style tree instead of this crystal mess) or DRK's Recollection weapon with its unique edges and handle style.

But as stated, opinions. To each their own on appearances.

I'll comment here again- after seeing the new relic weapons, I won't be going for more than 1 or 2 but they'll need to be reskinned
The red mage & AST relics look okay-ish

But they all look like kids plasma toys compared to their predecessors- it felt like the weapons were going to be built up to something intricate & dark fantasy/ medieval related to some degree but...yeah...
They don't look like they'd be relic weapons at all, but something from a trial that you can get with 10 totems

So is not Shadowbringer finished, or will they add new MSQs with maybe 5.56?

Honestly, i feel like its lazy making the lunar fights like a dungeon or a single quest..

they should have made this all new trails in of itself, and then gave me them a new primal weapon drop table for dancer gnb since this don't have those, seems like the msq gets shafted over the other stuff which is bs, consinder its a ff a story based game, but making the expansion with a big story then maybe 4-5 new quest every month is kinda annoying and "lazy" at least in my eyes need alot more story

The solo duty now has several stages, so if you wipe on one, you can skip it (as long as you don't log out or join another duty in between). Good idea, hope they go back and apply it to other lengthy solo duties. The Stormblood duty with Sadu and Magnai comes to mind.

Surprised to see Odin as one of the lunar primals. Wonder which tribe he's associated with?

Literally uninterested in the entirety of the patch.

MSQ content is something that only serves to make me press my skip cutscene button as I plow through to unlock dungeons and areas to gather raids and extremes.

Bozja is something I have never once touched and do not see myself doing so.

I have played maybe 5 matches of TT in my entire career in this game.

Relics are not worth my time.

No balance changes.

Patch may as well not exist to me.

I'm getting strong Ishgard vibes in regards to Sharlayan and I hope it will be different then just "corruption must be purged" story. I will admit when we met the father of the twins I was there for the tank muffins

I don't, especially from Fourchenault's insistence in the trailer that they *must* live on. I'm almost wondering if they're protectors of something or have something trapped and their non-intervention policy is rooted in that.

Sharlayan gives me Ancient Kingdom of Zeal vibes from Chrono Trigger. Very much disinterested in Eorzea and would rather live in their own bubble.

Stuff like Dreamer hits home towards Chrono Trigger/Cross too.

Although you could make correlations to FFX with dreams of the Fayth/Yu Yevon or Sharlayans following a prophecy and won't change it's course.

FFX references wouldn't surprise me considering Anima will be a fight in 6.0

The one thing I benefited from the most from the Patch 5.55 notes is the fact that I could turn in 99 Emerald Totems for the Emerald Gwiber. As a result, I got the Landerwaffe mount from having all 7 Gwibers in my possession.

Seriously, the fight drags on with the unskippable phase transition for too long for only one totem. Not to mention the drop rate, even after the first buff, was horrendous.

Echoing the totem guy,

I think EX trials should drop two totems from 6.0 onward. Diamond EX feels much shorter than Emerald and it drops two.

It was finished in patch 5.3. All of the content from 5.4 to 5.55 is transition story that prepares us for 6.0.
