Sch Book

Come on Square . A Book for scholar and summoner ? Needs to be changed . A Ruler with numbers coming off it when casting OR An Old time Pointer with chalk or letters coming off when casting . Much Cooler then a Book.

Lets face it , The Book is B O R I N G !

All the other classes have a cool look. Scholars Unite !

Get Rid of the Book ! Give us something cool : ) please

The book is cool. Keep the book.

I like the book too. It's true it is hard to make the "ultimate book" but the principle is cool

As the most intelligent of the classes and jobs, books seem to fit quite nicely.

I really like the book too in fact the main reason why i chose to go scholar instead if whm was because of the book, plus compared to the cricket bats used by paladins and the bits of trees the whm/cnjs passes for wands and the backward coat hangers monks uses as fists i'd say the book isn't that bad =/. ( if its anything i'd say SE might want to reconsider their weapons design team xD) Although when it comes to the relics i can see what you mean everyone else's relic is much more interesting tbh i even think the summoner's relic is nice just the scholar's relic is a bit plain but the actual idea of a book for a weapon i think is awesome :D

Book seems strange at first, but it grows on you. Very fitting of a scholar, plus it would take an enormous amount of development time to change it, which would ultimately be pointless.

books make perfect sense for scholar.. I mean, I suppose we could have a giant chalkboard or something.. but books seem a little more portable.

I cannot remember which author or show or whatever it was, but writing one's name down in a book as a sacrifice or something to summon a beast has been done before too, so books make sense for SMN.

I like the book, but i just get my hopes up so much when i do primals and see a book, then realize it's a scholar book. -_-;

Books are plenty fine. I just wish that high-end books stopped looking like overly ornate shields made out of papier-mâché. What's wrong with a subtle glow to the diagrams in the books, or some letters in Eorzean font spewing out when open? Or heck, just some fancy crests like Deus Ex Verbis has. Burning spikes and green feathers on books is sinful! :p

I just want letters and symbols floating when casting.

I can see future books being tablets instead. The technology is there apparently. You allagans.

Cause who needs "1" book when you can have all "book" in 1!

I love my glowing ifrit horn book though D:

Love me a good book! But I would also love some more awesome book animations.

I'm thinking along the lines of flipping through pages on crits or some calculations (internal) on certain casts, all not really needed but, I will take em!

What about the classic, "toss book on ground, pull all pages into air so you can read 'em all at once" animation?

Have you seen the lightning book? It's pretty neat, it slides out parts from a more narrow thing. Shows what could be done, and hopefully more variety will come, since we are really at the start of the game, and vanity isn't out yet.

IMO main hand should be book and offhand should have been a quill. It is part of the animation after all.

I'm a fan of the book. Ifrit and Garuda books look good. Titan? Not so much. But the omnilex is quite nice, especially once upgraded to zenith, in all its glowy glory

books are fine. i just don't like that smn and sch are most of the time just color swaps

Reasons why books suck in this game is

1. Smn and Sch books look extremely similar. Compare that to whm and blm staffs. Theres a big difference between e.g Thyrus and stardust rod or omirod and elder staff.
2. No page animations, Seems like it isn't a functioning book at all.
3. Low res illegible writing/diagrams.
4. Books are small and have much less details compared to the weapons of the other jobs.

Could have been much worse. Imagine if you will a Scholar running around with an I-Pad, casting I for an I and have a fairy like Link´s Navy (a floating apple with wings).

Nah I´m fine with what we got.

Mh on the other hand... if Seline shouts "Shut the fuck up" as she silences I am willing to pay that price.

The book is awesome.

Omnilex is beautiful.

You're hater made. You see me castin, you be hatin.

How about a Kindle or something?

My Allagan book doesn't look boring at all.

Moogle pop-up book, enough said.

Books like Garuda or moggle are cool :D but others book are like booring u.u the allagan book sould have something amazing to show off =P

Give me headphones and an audiobook.

I love the books; I just wish so many of the pages shown inside the book weren't identical. Each book should have a different page shown!

Keep the book, and introduce a quill as offhand.

next one gonna be tablet, i guarantee u

I am fine with the book but I would like class specific limit breaks. Even if they do the same thing different animations would be nice.

This. :( I love my books. I find them to be pretty cute and they speak to the book worm in me. I got my mog pop up book today and I literally squealed as I examined it. I just wish it had better stats than my Omnilex Zenith so I could use it. :(

the cast animation for adloquium, and succor have words that float in a lil circle when you cast!

yeah, i want a laser blade or a magnum or some heavy weapons, a book? c mon square, we are scholars not students (sarcasm) i like my book :)

I love the book! Hello scholar has used a book as a weapon since FF3 for all of you who don't know. The BOOK will always be apart of scholar as much as dragoons will always have their signature jump attack. Get used to it

Scholars this generation use IPADS! pffft a book.
