So some of these look pretty cool, I particularly like the WAR axe (which is saying something because I don't like ANY of them so far), the bow, and of course, Lightning's Sword.
But one in particular, I just don't get... the sch/smn book, wtf is that thing?

Edit: If you watch the video in the link provided, after 50 seconds you see them all pull out these weapons, they all seem to have a pretty cool animation while being unsheathed.

Due to XIII not having a book weapon. It looks like they just copied one of the boomerangs repeatedly to make the cover (This one).

Boomerang book sounds great. Maybe if you wield this your auto attack will become ranged because the book will come right back to you when you throw it.

Boomerang book? Boomerbook? Bookerang? What shall we call this wondrous new creation?

I thought new classes/ jobs were generally the ones that received all the loving... this speaks otherwise, at least imo.

As a full-time SCH, all I can say is. . . . FUUUUU! /explode -___-
(No, I cannot ignore it. My OCD will protest if I don't own one of those abominations)
Seriously though. . . .

Wow, those PGL/MNK weapons are terrible. But then again it's Lightning-related so I don't know why I expected anything other than terrible.

OMG so ugly! On a more serious note, seriously excited to get Fang's Spear, Lightning's Sword, and Serah's Bow. I think all of those are well designed. Surprised they didn't rip off Caius's sword as the "axe" tho. I suppose the ice axe is kinda cool as well.

10-13-2013, 10:54 AMVallisRaineYou know what it looks like the rack of ribs the lady puts on the Flintstones car in the opening credits!Quote:

Looks like organ pipes to me, but when I saw the boomerang link I instantly was like...omg lol. I'd rather have a regular book, and bookerang 100%

If you skip to 50 seconds in this video, you can see how the book looks when you unsheath it, looks pretty cool in-game actually.

Lightning's Sword also looks like it does it's trademark folding/flipping out thing as they're only holding a hilt with no blade attached when unsheathing. -

Looooler skates @ Bookarang!

At least when you summon from that book, you can be sure your egi's will come back.
-
10-13-2013, 01:06 PMForteXXYa, I saw that with the announce video. Doesnt help that it overall looks really bad. Then again... every Book class/job semes to have the exact same book, with different covers, of different sizes. They also seem to always open to the same page in said books.Quote:
