I give up. I want a shiny effect.

For either sanction embedded weapons or gc equipment when combined.
Currently there's no way other than looking at your attributes to know that combined gear is working, and having something more than an icon for sanction would be just cool if you ask me.
The glow could be of the color of your company too!

Nothing mega shiny. Just like a faint glow or something.

Like this post if you like the idea.

Like this post if you don't.

I liked both 'cause I'm a rebel.

I think faint glow and "colored shiny fog" on weapons is a cop out for making weapon models that look cool.

But the weapons already look cool, so shiny lights will only make them MORE cool. D: Shiny lights please!

I think they kill the art of the weapon. Someone worked very hard designing them only to be ruined by a glow effect? No thanks, it will cause laziness in designs later on.

If it's anything like the target highlighting (and there is plenty of reason to believe it would be the same) it would look like complete ass, so I'd rather just have the icon.

Do you remember the rage about ifrit's glowing ? Do you remember the rage about garuda and class weapons? It was a scream like "omg this weapons seems from WoW/ a korean mmorpg". You can see it incoming

No thank. I'm only just okay with the Ifrit weapons.
Constant glowing is just too much.

ya shiny weapons make ppl have aneurisms. But more transforming weapons are in. (besides the half ass Mnk cube fists. those are lol)

I don't know about glowing. But maybe they could give u a icon or something that appears when you meet requirements.

Yes we desperately need indications of if our bonuses are working. I don't even know if my GC Spear counts as a "gear" for the 3 Pieces of Gear bonus.

no, no, and more NO. Sorry, if you want flasy things, there's other games like that. I like FF because of it's realistic aspect that's put in the fantasy.

Look at ifrit's!!!

Apparently it's hard to check your stats to see if your gear is working as intended.

If it's like Ifrit weapons glow effect then OK.

But if its like this...

Then HELL NO!

What about just the sparkle effect that you see when you spiritbond gear? When you equip the last piece of armor for the set bonus you could get a sparkle/flash to acknowledge it. Then the sparkle goes away.

For weapons they could have their regular weapon models and when they're buffed and ready to go maybe each weapon has an inlaid gem on it somewhere that will glow/sparkle alone instead of the whole weapon.

Maybe the edge of the weapon can have a faint glow on it, downplayed Ifrit effect that shows that the effect is active but doesn't turn the weapon into a stupid fog machine.

Rokien is against it. This is a clear sign that it must be implemented and everyone who voted no is in the wrong! :P

On a more serious note, I'm sorry to inform you that SE has strayed away from FFXII's concept art and gone onto the FFT:Advance realm.

notice the similies in design and color with every job's af? realism went down the balcony (with tanaka).

actually shiny weapons would only fit 4 jobs. Pld with enlight. drks with endrk. redmage with the other en spells. and if they did the open cutscene where it looks like he Thm or cnj couldnt tell, gave the Arc a fire affect with the arrow.

Oh goodness...just what I need more effects that are gonna lag everything.

Het.

Aside from the AF, the retarded looking Class only weapons, and the primal weapons (which make sense), no. The realism has stayed, for the most part. These three categories are the only things in the game that seem out of place.

They've been doing a decent job of adding their own flair to the game without butchering the realism that was originally intended. I want them to keep it that way.

Also the Paladin relic is glowing, if you bothered looking at the 2.0 concept art.

Guessing you're not aware that there were Final Fantasy games before FF7.

Screw realism in my Final Fantasy, the AF gear is currently some the coolest looking shit in the game.

Actually, I have had a change of heart.

I would like to see an effect on weapons of some sort ONLY IF the player is in active mode AND the player is under some sort of En-spell effect (Enfire, Enlight, Enwater, etc). That would actually be pretty wizard.

As long as it's not too flashy.
