Why is the WAR Relic so pathetic?

[Illya]

Garuda's Scream looks a million times better than Bravura.

Actually, Garuda's Spine looks way better than the Artemis Bow with those fold-out wings.

In general the Relic weapons look kind of crappy compared to the Garuda weapons. Squenix's idea of progress, I guess.

So not true. There's no way Garuda's Beak looks better than Gae Bolg.
