New Grand Company Gear (04/23/2012)

http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...d32d2c56fc6f7a

Retractable weapons are the new thing nowadays.

I like the THM's weapon though with the mini world/moons orbiting.

LOL @ the PGL's fists.

That bow is friggen epic!! I love it.

Love the BLM staff too

And the pug ones!!

Non of them look silly to me, so happy, and grand company ohwah!!?

Still have to see the Garuda ones and we get these epic, so much happy lol

Sword = trick retractible blade

Knuckles = Two glowing bricks

Lance = half a fence on a stick (eta: "lololololol LNC/DRG Death by portcullis")

Con staff = Lampshade

Thm staf = Space diarama on a stick

Axe looks like part of the Amalja fencing

Bow is smexy

The Bow, and the last Staff, baus as foch.

to punch with cinderblocks or moogles, hmmm

Love them except Lance and Monk weapons look pretty stupid. Pugilist always gets the worst weapons, too, so it's doubly unfair.

Oversized, glowing weapons... What is happening over at S.E.? Are they losing their touch? Did they hire some koreans? Is that what happened? This has South Korea written all over it.

Decisions decisions!

...and I thought the Moogle Plushy Fists were stupid...

Really SE?...really?

The others look cool, so why is PGL such a joke...again?

I"m wondering if these "new craft methods" will offer any new game play mechanics for DoH.

All the weaponry seems heavy on the over the top nature of brute weaponry lol wonder if SE will manage to release them without making Garuda obsolete before people even have a chance to fight her or vice versa.

In terms of the PUG weapon it kinda reminds me of Hellboy's fist maybe that's what they were going for lol

I'm okay with it only if in the long run they'll make it so the ultimate weapon for PGL/MNK is the person's bare fists.

The pug one is bizarre lol... but the paladin one is too plastic-like imo. :/ The others are not bad (blm one is very nice).

So we're getting new crafted weapons and Garuda weapons. I guess it's a good thing the artifact weapons got delayed...

(P.S. I agree, the Lantern Shield looks awesome)

---

You know this is all Bayohne's fault.

PUG weapon = paper lantern? Worst looking one of the bunch. >_>

Am I the only one who strongly dislikes this new shiney clean cartooney aesthetic? XIV was realistic as hell, I'm not sure why are they turning this into wow.

Now.. i can see the pug one like a minecraft homage lol.

PGL: we hit like bricks.

do we really need new weapons?
we already have Ifrit , Moogle, GC, Batraal, Chimera and Miser's Mistress weapons and they are all level 50, they will still add Garuda and Job weapons, so why they want to add other GC and crafted weapons?

@ Lazy Barakat: Simply different Options. Not everyone will do all of the said events. There is nothing at all wrong with options my friend. ^ ^

Love the new mage weapons. I like the others, too, but I still think I will use the AF Bow and H2H based on looks.

darksteel ore and gryphon hide

Gryphons = Garuda adds? I wonder what kind of pattern the hide will have. And will Reinhart get a Gryphonskin Subligar?

what is that signature from?

Oh man, that THM staff with the orbiting sphere thingys... So sweet. I'm guessing it's only obtainable for Immortal Flames though, since the THM guild is in Uld. If so, that makes me really really sad.

So sad. :(

You find the axe and spear cartoony? Those looked pretty realistic to me.

It's a original character modeled in a 3d program and ran through a animation test.

Now these are endgame weapons!
I especially love the pugilist brick gloves.

* New weapon recipes planned for patch 1.22 are for gladiator, pugilist, marauder, and lancer classes only. Weapons for other classes are planned for release sometime after patch 1.22a.

---

Really?

The ones I actually want won't be available... ._.

Is it really too much to ask for a nice pair of Katars or something?

Nope. Bricks and plushy moogle heads ahoy.

Oh sweet!

Retractable weapons for my White Mage and Black Mage!

I'm going to look so cool when I pull out my weapons and.... wait


wait.....


......waaaaaaaaaaaaait..........



Oh this is some bullshit >:O

Two.....bricks.


TWO.....bricks.

Cool, I'll just stick to getting the mog fists, at least those were humorous.

What in gods name....Oh dear.

The axe sure...I kinda get it...maybe? Who am i kidding these weapons were totally not made for me at least.

Because everyone can cap in a week and making raids is hard.


YOU ALL LET THIS HAPPEN. WE COULD HAVE STOPPED THIS! >_<

those two are "sort of" okay, I dislike the designs myself, but thats a toss of the coin.

in any case, the sword and bow need dirt and scratches to be thrown all over... they are way too shiny.

THM staff looks really sexy (and i do love to use a staff as thm/blm). i just hope those weapons are actually useful and not just eye candy. but since they seem to be crafted maybe you can meld materia into them.

REALLY



LOL

anyway i think anyone use this weapon... AF weapon ftw or primal weapon \o/

I love the Monk cinder blocks of death. XD

I think the new weapons look awesome! A few questions, though:

- How are they going to compare with the other weapons we currently have, as well as Garuda's? As mentioned previously, we're getting a LOT of different gear for max level characters... might start seeing some power creep happening if they don't have unique stats or abilities.

- Darksteel Ore... will we have to mine this stuff up, or create it from existing materials?

- As for Gryffon Hides, I don't know of any griffons currently in-game, lol. New monster, perhaps...?

- If these materials are supposedly difficult to craft with, does that mean crafters will have to do something more involved to make things with them, or will it just be more Lv50+ recipes that function just the same as everything else?
