You and Rokien are def. alike thats for sure... maybe related?

Some of them are -okay- a lot of them are really impractical and comically large/items in wrong direction. Wouldn't be hard for SE to fix that sword like someone else said. It does look too much like a Sai and looks only good for stabbing. Claws are curved in too much and do not look like their actually capable of grabbing and ripping something. I think the bow is also -again- too fat and large and power rangerish if you will. I dunno what SE's designers are thinking half the time on this new stuff. A lot of the company weapons are Meh as well. The company bow is great though. Come on SE believability + badass, I know you have it in you, it ain't that tough. Great designers don't give in to gimmicks (transforming flashy weapons), that's just the latest trend, the easy way out.

Probably been said before... but the Garuda laugh sounds incredibly similar to my miqo'te's laugh... evil, loud, obnoxious... etc. When a group member goes AFK while we wait for cooldown on dungeons, and we need to call them back, we'll spam /laugh motion next to them. Works every time. (Annoying? Yeah. Luckily, not many groups are often around. But... but... I miss the <call> function!)

Perhaps it will give you bonuses to your primary and secondary stat. Maybe perhaps (Only an example) you could have the spear with +20 STR/+20 PIE. Not the best idea, but I am kind of stumped on how these weapons will be unique among others.

I would say evasion/Piety could be possible stats

all i know is all of them look sweeeeeet!

And I stand to the statement that I completely disagree with your statement.

Anyway, I'm just glad they finally made a PGL/MNK weapon that doesn't look lame.

The polearm looks amazing! The bow in the video is at a bad angle, it makes the wings at the side look a lot bigger than they are.

I still don't understand why EVERY time SE release a weapon this happens. I can understand people arguing on pgl's bricks, but every single weapon...happened with ifrit, moogle, now gc and garuda.
Seriusly, this game have magitek cannons, gunblade, gunhalberd shooting lasers, gun-godknowwhat, and you cry...on a shapeshifting weapon ? When your reaction in ffxi would be "i don't like it" ?

I like how you were only able to give 2 examples of different looking weapons per weapon type, while ignoring the fact his point that most were just reskins was correct.

The old game died the moment Tanaka was taken off the project, and Yoshida decided to make the game less western. You might as well quit now if you don't like the direction the game is going.

No, you quit. I was here first. :) :)

These weapons are underwhelming like crazy. Would it have killed them to at least make a nice wind/gale effect on sheathe or at least a subtle glow? The staff is the only good one, really.
