Why can't Paladin get nice swords? Seriously... Why do they all have to be so ridiculously over the top come endgame? I dread to think what Great Swords will be like in this game... We're already wielding giant metal girders, Great Swords will probably be buildings at this rate...

That said, the sword being used in the artwork for the background is great. Please be the Zodiac weapon... Please be the Zodiac weapon... Please be the Zodiac weapon...

hmmm, prolly the allagan sword if it's in the game. The screenshot IS the zodiac sword :/

Also, is that a monk weapon that we see in the left of the artwork ?

Dude, this is the IP that produced Cloud's Buster Sword. *scratches head* Anyway, big weapons are a thing in MMOs, or did you actually enjoy using daggers from lv1-40?

I, for one, love the hell out of that outfit. Except maybe the shield because it's a round shield, and I prefer the look of kite shields.

Daggers? No. Swords that actually looked reasonable? Yes.

Most of the Lv40 range swords are great, but then we start getting things like Ancient Sword and I start thinking "These are closer to metal clubs than they are to actual blades...". I mean, is Break Blade really meant to be a blade?

The Buster Sword was a great sword, right now we seem to be using it with a shield. Seriously, what are great swords going to be at this rate? The most over the top great sword in the franchise is already a one handed blade here... Sometimes I wonder why Paladin even needs a shield, considering half its endgame swords are bigger... There is a point where parrying with a blade just becomes an out right block, and the XIV developers passed it a while ago...

I am looking forward to the weapons of (potential) future two-handed sword classes. They are probably big enough to live in.

And that's why we have glamours now.

Let me be the first to welcome you to the anime inspired JRPG genre. BFW are pretty much part and parcel of the genre. Have been for oh, about 30 some odd years.

Honestly, I find it surprising that someone who seems to favor unrealistic and impractical use of firearms in their signature is whining about the unrealistic and impractical size of swords in a game.

*cough*I'm sure those guns pack a punch when you use them to hit something and she does only fire them once (which is all that you would be able to do with them)*cough* Ok, I'll admit, I just really liked her.

Kinda looks like Leviathan weapons in the artwork so maybe that?

Leviathan weapons have that blue hint (maybe?)
