Glowing weapons

[Gramul]

Uh... no, they aren't. This is a fantasy game with magic. Glowing things couldn't be any more at home in such a setting.

Besides, a "glow" is nothing more than light, and there is no such thing as a game where light looks out of place.

Just because it's fantasy doesn't mean glowing weapons automatically fit. These things have sub genres. That's like saying light sabres would be at home in Star Trek.

Glowing weapons are more fitting of fairytale fantasy. XIV is more of a high fantasy thing. If a sword does glow, it's because it's an ancient one of a kind deal that just would not do well in an MMO unless an NPC used it. Think sting in LotR.

Seeing 20 or so guys running around with Ifrit's Butter Knife kinda ruins its importance as an ancient weapon of great power.
