Soooo these relics... lets talk.

I am absolutely in LOVE with the MCH relic in the final step.

I think they all look like they're being haunted by the ghost of a broken stained glass window.

I like the way the relics look. They kind of look like ordinary weapons but when you take them out they have a neat glow that adds to the weapon. They used different color glows for the weapons that really make them stand out and look unique. I really liking this set of weapons.

As with most people, I do very much like the GNB relic, with that said, when I first saw them, I wasn't overly impressed, however, since getting my PLD weapon, it has grown on me, except for one detail.

That 'cutting edge' is not suitable for a sword. Yes, there is an angle there, but it would be more akin to being hit by a blunt object than a sharp sword.

The MNK design idea, I do like. Keep the weapon itself simple and essentially have the glow be the 'fist' that makes impact, however, they had to make a spike stick out of the front. MNK weapons should not have prominent spikes.

I do have to give credit to RDM weapon as well, just for the fact the Crustal Focus (or whatever it's official name is), is made entirely out of the weapon glow. I don't think that has been done before, so props for the originality.

A lot of swords have that problem in this game. The DRK shire sword is really bad about it. Looks like a plastic larp weapon.

I don't know. How many books do I need with Bahamut wings? Got to try something new every now and then.

Na, it's worse than that.

i don't know of any other swords with an edge that obtuse.

The ones that are bad are look worse than any other relic their, but there are quite a few that I think look really nice. This set is odd that way

I am disappointed with the dark knight weapon. For the entire quest chain the blade had been a Gothic straight blade and for the final step we get a curve sword that looks like it will break hitting a rock.

You see those warriors from Zadnor? They've got curved swords. Curved. Swords.
