I'm tempted to do that, but isn't that the opposite of what Square Enix is trying to do?

You've threatened to quit, but I've seen several posts from people who say the Ifrit videos have convinced their friends to try FFXIV.

Net gain for SE. You're free to go.

One player will not be missed.

You cant convince me that youre staying for square enix's sake

Well look at it this way: It could attract more players to the game who are actually fans of the style WoW has (there are millions of them).
This is progress.
Sometimes you have to make a few sacrifices down the road (like losing players such as yourself) in order to make progress.

HOWEVER, this could just be a one-off thing considering this is gear dropped from Ifrit and Ifrit, as we all know, is a glowy red thing. It only makes sense for his drops to be glowy red.
The same will go for probably all primal gear, it will match the theme of the monster.

Something tells me we'll just be seeing weapons from the primals.

Yes they won't appeal to everyone but they are aiming at what has been statistically proven to draw consumer's in, if they lose a few in the process they won't mind if in the end they get the audience they are aiming for.

This style of artwork - Design is NOT the WoW style Design, wth are you ppl blind?

Actually, I see a net loss. Square has been losing people in the past. And I know five people who will not miss FFXIV if this current direction continues.

Sadly, you cannot satisfy everyone. I'll just resort to DAT swaps then, to get rid of the horribadly-designed weapons. That way, I don't have to see people standing in the middle of Ul'dah in Active Mode showing them off.

But don't be surprised if I end up leaving by year's end. It's just kind of getting tiresome watching this.

I think the weapons look awesome, and if you dont like em, dont use em. They look to me like typical FINAL FANTASY weapons that I've come to expect over the years. Dont look at Cloud's Ultima Weapon. Same for Atma Weapon in FFVI. http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/U...Weapon_(Weapon)

Glowy weapons, oh no!

My personal favourite is that Axe. <Goes to level MRD quicktime.>

Personally PP's sig doesn't bother me. I've gotten used to over-sized sigs while being in this forum.

Thank you.
