very nice indeed
That bow <3 Wonder the monk weapon gonna look like
So if I understand what it says about it then the Gerolt that made our relics was a fraud and we will need to find the real one to get these better relics.
Nice relics and new tomestone gear
Forgot to mention that Bard armour looks good too, not as clown like as the current one haha
Can't wait to see the rest
Question that needs to be answered is if these are actually the new relics, or if it's the new crafted gear...
While I don't want to debunk this theory straight away, Yoshi has mentioned that "The relics' true potentials would be unlocked in 2.2" or something.
Aside from that the combination of the names Gerolt and to some extent Rowena are unmistakably linked to Relic weapons.
They're masterworks, all. You can't go wrong.
Hmmm

Either they've decided to scrap previous concepts or these aren't the new artifact gear + relics. They did say they'd add new stuff to crafting, so who knows!
You know there could be some pieces of allag2 in there ? :p
Oh yeah, the allagan color of the patch is red now ^^ No more metallic/generic loot

All of the new Gerolt weapons are being used during the Thornmarch Extreme fight in the 2.2 preview video. Here are some captures:

Why can't Paladin get nice swords? Seriously... Why do they all have to be so ridiculously over the top come endgame? I dread to think what Great Swords will be like in this game... We're already wielding giant metal girders, Great Swords will probably be buildings at this rate...
That said, the sword being used in the artwork for the background is great. Please be the Zodiac weapon... Please be the Zodiac weapon... Please be the Zodiac weapon...
Dude, this is the IP that produced Cloud's Buster Sword. *scratches head* Anyway, big weapons are a thing in MMOs, or did you actually enjoy using daggers from lv1-40?
I, for one, love the hell out of that outfit. Except maybe the shield because it's a round shield, and I prefer the look of kite shields.
Daggers? No. Swords that actually looked reasonable? Yes.
Most of the Lv40 range swords are great, but then we start getting things like Ancient Sword and I start thinking "These are closer to metal clubs than they are to actual blades...". I mean, is Break Blade really meant to be a blade?
The Buster Sword was a great sword, right now we seem to be using it with a shield. Seriously, what are great swords going to be at this rate? The most over the top great sword in the franchise is already a one handed blade here... Sometimes I wonder why Paladin even needs a shield, considering half its endgame swords are bigger... There is a point where parrying with a blade just becomes an out right block, and the XIV developers passed it a while ago...
Let me be the first to welcome you to the anime inspired JRPG genre. BFW are pretty much part and parcel of the genre. Have been for oh, about 30 some odd years.
Honestly, I find it surprising that someone who seems to favor unrealistic and impractical use of firearms in their signature is whining about the unrealistic and impractical size of swords in a game.
I think all the weapons in the trailer are actually the masterworks weapons. Even the coil preview ones too.
