Is anyone else really bummed that they didn't add primal gear for the new jobs? Or cr

I definitely wasn't expecting anything for them below level 60; it would've set a bad precedent that they'd have to add ALL primal weapons whenever a new job was added from 50 on up for every expansion, which seems just too unrealistic.

I would like to see a dev response though as to why there are no crafted weapons for the new jobs for previous expansions this time around.

The only times I've killed primals was when it was required for the MSQ. I don't think I got any gear from them, so I never went back again.

That is because after the first couple primals in ARR they became drops at the end of Extreme trials or were made purchasable for totems which were also obtained from their respective Extremes. Some were crafted from rare materials which only dropped from those so they could have their own unique glow effects. All of this is what GNB and DNC currently lack and no one knows why. No weapons from lvl 50 content? That's fine, and that was to be expected. But lvl 60? The level they both start at? That just doesn't seem right, especially since SAM and RDM both got ALL of theirs right away even during early access. And they didn't even bother to add much of anything at lvl 70 either. Even more confusing.

I imagine they will be added later on... Maybe 5.1, maybe later...

Looking at 4.1 in SB for reference, 5.1 has a bunch of content already lined up...

5.1 if it follows everything the same, it'll raise the Squadron level cap and add some SB dungeons for command missions, Beast tribe quests, The first 24-man raid and Hildibrand.

And they said back sometime around when Blue Mage was coming that it would get an update at 5.1 (or first patch after the release of Shadowbringers)...

I was a little bummed that they didn't any Primal weapons for Dancer, but I will get used to it. I was hoping I could get a Shiva Dancer weapon though since they are pretty much my favorite. I was also ready to used Seiryu totems for lv70 weapon, but it's fine. I will just go with tome wep. Perhaps they will add some later.

I'm bummed but tbh I'm more bummed that this whole expansion seems rushed. Don't get me wrong there is a ton of stuff to love about it. But the races are incomplete (hats not showing, voices are bugged to all hell, hair clipping way more than other races, very very limited hair options), the jobs are missing the primal weapons, I found tons of typos in NPC convos, Titania has no voice over for when you face her through MSQ (not even Jap), hell even the teleport menu seems rushed, everything is in one big pile. Like honestly would have rather they kept the same level of quality than the previous ones even if it meant either delaying release or delaying things to further patches.

I like my expansion to feel complete when I buy them. I never got the feeling I got now from HW or SB.

Perhaps, but I seem to recall there has been this confusion before - about not having old weapons for new jobs. Could be wrong, though

Well, there's hotfixes tonight prior to official launch so I guess we'll see.

I wanted to see the SB/moogle weapons. Hopefully they add them in the future.

i have my hopes that they are on the way, im looking forward to Sophia and Bismark weapons
