It's seriously time. Can we start a petition against the handles on MNK weapons?

Oh wow, I've always thought I loved monk weapons at first glance -- but I never noticed the little handle thing. That looks really off. o__0

the monk weapon are soo bad in many way, a lot of them are more assassin weapon than trully monk weapon, but i digress. the handly is the worst part of the monk weapon, i don't know how the monk can pull any strenght with this. more important, why for god sake, don't we already have an invisible weapon for glamour...

by the way, a lot of the heavensward weapon are ugly :x the pata are a good example of what a monk weapon must'nt be.

It's not just the handle that should be removed it is all of the pugilist/monk weapons that should be reworked they all look either unfit to be used or incompatible with the type of damage monks are supposed to be doing...

So much this. I dislike all the weapons. Love the job. Hate the weapons. Can we please get emperor's new fist for monk weapons? I'd play monk forever.

Would love to see some less obnoxious monk weapons. Like Tifas gloves, as has been suggested multiple times.

Worse is looking at how things like the Hellish Claws look like when you punch.
The motion follows your hand, not the weapon.
The handles are so far extended that you punch and the weapon is above your fist, breaking your wrists.

I don't really care if people hold things weirdly to look cool in a video game.
But it would look cooler if the weapons fit your hands since all the fighting animations are based on your character's fists.

I have to say that I would love for some ancient-style cestus and battle glove options, and a bare-fisted glamour would be awesome too. Not many monk weapons look particularly great. :T

My monk lvl 52 use the lvl 1 goldsmith knuckle since i start this class 'cause of how ugly are all the other appearances ! it's very expensive in mirage crystals !

Just make monk weapons look like over-gauntlets.

accurate. XD

I don't think the whole "looks like slashing, does blunt" is that big of a deal. I mean, is there really too many situations where the difference between slashing and blunt damage is notable to the point where SE couldn't just remove it?

But more on topic, I'm not a fan of how far away the weapons are either, I really wish they were closer to the hands and didn't look so awkward! At least Fists Of Crag look nice imo.
