1.0 Weapon design> 2.0 glow stick over the top glow design.

Dont get me wrong the glow on some of the weapons sometimes does look nice, but its going way overboard in my opinion.

Augmented crafted i90 gear they literally just threw two circles of glow around it.

Please Square-Enix consider creating nice looking gear again akin to FFXIV 1.0:
Mailbreaker
Astrolobe
Garuda's Spine
Artemis bow
etc etc

Here is a video of the 1.0 gear:

Thank you.

Unless the link changed by now, that does clearly show weapons in 1.0 (judging by the backgrounds).

Other than that I don't really get the complaint. All of the weapons mentioned by the OP are still in the game, and with the same animations as before. (Mailbreaker, Astrolabe, Garuda's Spine, Artemis Bow). I believe all weapons shown in the video above are still in the game.

If the glow is your complaint, you can always glamour something over it (though I will admit the augmented gear isn't my favorite either. But I'm not wearing it anyway).

All those weapons are in the game... I have most of them. (except Astrolab, haven't seen that.)

They're all in the game.

Some are crafted, like the Astrolobe and Mailbreaker

This is the old Astrolabe someone made for me. Too bad already handed this in for old 1.0 relic quest:

Recently made one just for nostalgia about a month ago: :D

I agree though, it's still best looking design. ^^

Those weapons are all in the game, but i think what the OP means is that SE should come up with new cool designs like those instead of taking a old design and slap a glow on them and call it a day

The soldiery, Ramuh, and allagan weapons of either flavor are all pretty fine. Looking at the wrong game?

To be fair, the glowy ones are boosted versions of the original non-glowy ones.
Though I'll admit that putting glow on it is the easiest way to enhance them, and that the augmented ilvl90 glow is kind of underwhelming/ugly.

Still, I think it is fair enough for +1 weapons/gear to just have added glow or decorations.

This thread almost makes me want to glamour the blasterpop.

The glowy issue is made worse just because it is the only upward scaling single item so most people have some version of it. Not sure if there even are any aura weapons outside of relics.

Well... I just want them to stop making PLD swords too freaking huge. My curtana looks like a great sword.

<sarcasm>You fool... this is Final Fantasy: Swords that are shorter than you are tall one-handed weapons and those that are longer than you are tall are two-handed.</sarcasm>

The augmented gear I'll grant, but a lot of the new crafted gear are dyeable versions of much-beloved rare dungeon gear like the Battlemage, Acolyte, and Foestriker sets. It might not take as much work but they're still much appreciated by the sort of players who enjoy glamour enough to keep around pieces of these sets still.

Yes this is exactly what i meant. The weapon designs coming in 2.0 are more often than not "put a glow stick in it!!!"
