Glowing effects on "upgraded" gear.

[Sakasa]

a subtle evolution in its overall design. You know, don't go overboard.

Well there is some form evolution in some weapons, such as the Flame GC axe, is built like the Bravura, and the Allagan axe shares that same track. Maelstrom Anchor for instance is version of the model that the Dual Haken is off of. So its there but eventually glows will not be cool but there are other effects like floating runes similar to Alqo and Tridisaster or the swirls on the armor we have seen in the video that reminds me of gunmages gun from X-2.

But really I hope that no matter what the effect is they will limit it to battle stance. Sure there are the glitches but if in the current method nothing glowes out of combat/fighting stance I hope the armor carries this trait.
