What happened to them, Square Enix? :rolleyes:

Yes. These are the kinds of weapon designs I want in the game. More stylized versions of the "bland" weapons we have.

And that MRD weapon. I WANT IT. GORRAMIT.

Interesting, as far as where/when these weapons will be seen not sure- but aside from the lance both the Axe and Sword have traces of Ahriman-like wings upon them, although I'm sure this has been pointed out where ever you came across the original post~

Level 35 EASY Mode. Level 50 HARD Mode. This had already been announced.

Exactly that, please SE dont show everything i want to be surprised in every patch, i know they want to keep people playing but we already keep playing because we like the game, i saw other games and im not that interested in those this game has something different that keeps me playing

So please no more showing everything give us the chance to find all while playing, that will change the troll posters to threads that says or ask about things in the game that werent said in the patch notes.

We are only level 50 ffs!!!

Low level gear tends to be 'bland'. To me the detail and work that has gone into even the 'blandest' of gear is awesome.

There have been a lot of concept art and I'm sure they have a fair number of items they've designed that they have yet to introduce. When you fixing a game you don't want to roll out all your eggs before they ready for hatching. There were other types of bows, the trinity arrow etc etc. I bet some ideas were scrapped after balancing...and still others in the pondering stage. There's probably hundreds if not thousands of sketches like the ones you've posted.

Honestly, we would see them in the .dats the day of update (that is pending you look through them) but I really think this release is not as much for the current players but as a marketing to draw in newcomers. Who wouldn't see a glowing ifrit tusked weapon and want to give the game a try? ( ._. pending they hadn't heard too many bad reviews already...)

Nonetheless, I feel its not so much for current as it is for potential~

I agree!! FFXIV should have "bland" stuff, but that doesn't mean it can't look awesome! That lance looks amazing, and WAY cooler than the ifrit lance.

I like the overall philosophy behind their design, working characteristics of the primal into the weapons themselves. I do have a little bit of an issue with the execution on some of the weapons though. The bow and hand-to-hand weapons specifically are a little too big and could probably be pared down a bit while still maintaining their look. The axe, on the other hand, looks perfect and makes me regret giving up marauder lol.

Either way, I'm not sure why we have to have only one type of design: practical or extravagant. I'm sure there's plenty of room in this game for both just as there was in XI.

I guess it just seems odd for me to be announced it would be coming then never show~ But then again, I work in the gaming industry so I honestly realize how much concept never makes it to production and finished product that never gets shipped... but then again YAY in 21st century we have DLC so it usually just get's pushed back to a later date. After working 8-10hours on an assets to have your producer come in and tell you that it's not getting shipped sucks. Just seems odd to me that it was announced publicly then nothing else said (or did I misunderstand and it was just found posted someplace with no content involving a release?)
