one thing I've always liked in both 11 and 14 is the relatively realistic look of the gears, that's just my personal taste. IMO, just because it has "fantasy" in the title doesn't mean it has to go down the over-stylized high fantasy route.

over stylised fantasy like fighting big flaming monsters...asking for realism when you got a conj throwing lightning and fire spells around is a bit contradictory. While i do agree that they dont have do go down the route you talk about I dont think these new weapons look OTT apart from the bow maybe, the game sorely needed some eye candy as it was lacking in weapons that had the "dam i gota have that" factor.

this is a final fantasy game, and as such it pretty much deserves weapons like those shown in the video.
im stunned by the effect those weapons have on some.
what's next, chocobos being to unreal? need moar horse like mounts?
seriously, some people don't get the "fantasy" part in final fantasy.
i'm not asking for huge burning 2-hand swords that cover the area in 2km distance with a glowing effect, but atleast some "fantasy" is surely not gonna hurt anybody.
hate on

Its that they don't look good, not that they look fantasy.
As I've said, the weapons from well most of the FF games I love, Especially VIII/XII/XIII..

The effect is nice, But the ARC/PUG weapons look far to chunky and OTT, they don't look stylish/effective they just look Big and meh...
lots of games have a much more fantasy look to the weapons then those, but they look a lot better imo.
They look like they could be used easily and well for there Job, and fit with the look of the game.

It's a mute point really, some are happy with the weapons some aren't..
They will keep going that way with the armour/weapons or they will get better.
Personally one of the Good parts of this game looks to be going out the window, its not enough that I want to leave, but it could head that way, I'll just have to wait and see.

Why are you talking about realism? No one is arguing that. We are only saying the style of the weapon (in our opinion) does not fit the style of the game. And also that they are ugly. ;)

I never asked for realism, it's purely a matter of preference in aesthetics.(note the "relatively realistic look", and yes, that's a design style in case you didn't notice). If realism was my criteria, most of the gear right now wouldn't even pass anyway. I've never try to claim you guys who like the designs are wrong, why are you so eager to tell me that my personal artistic taste is wrong?

as much as the new designs are eye candies that screamed "damn i gota have that" to you, to me the new designs are only giving me the "ewww gtfo" feeling.

Yes but, I do believe he was talking about "relatively realistic" and "over-stylized fantasy" and comparing them to the fantasy world that we have had for the past year.

In a fantasy world, it's not "everything goes, who cares because its fantasy". Things are always based off of what was planned out relative to the world that you create. What if we added spaceships and laser guns?

Would you tell me that is ok because its just a fantasy? I'm guessing you'd say "no... thats sci fi". Which is exactly why people put boundaries on what type of fantasy you are dealing with.

tbh I liked the New Weapons and all. Just that It'd look better(for me) If they resized the PGL and ARC weapon a little. The weapon that looked weirdest to me was that THM wand lol, what's with that Blue sphere? xP

I didn't see any shield in the loot so that means we ain't getting any? :< and here I thought a Flame Shield would look very cool!
