    I am guessing it is gonna be just like every other weapon in the game. Higher iLv. Higher stats. Different glow. Whoopdie-doo. No special abilities, no special stats, no special anything else. I think the devs forgot how to be creative. They only know how to rebrand old shit with a new look. You can wrap a turd in tin foil, but it's still just a turd.

    I first want to see what is required to obtain grindus in 2.38, to have an idea how far they are willing to go.

    I agree with this. I would like some nice flare to the Zodiacs, such as Enhancing job skills or additional effects. Example, Gae Bolg Zodiac "Increases Jump Potency by 10" or Holy Shield Zodiac "Returns 1% of damage to attackers"

    What happened to speed running through half the game, entering a high level dungeon where you will be ohko, and opening the second last treasure on the left in the third row to get a Zodiac Weapon? Some people just make this far to complicated XD

    As much as I love things like that, I really don't like seeing them in MMOs.

    Main reason is gear elitism.

    "Don't join if you don't have x item"
    "Don't join if your weapon doesn't have x ability"

    It's happened in every MMO (that I've played) that has had unique effects on the gear, and I hate it.

    You can make them so weak that it just isn't worth it to be elitist over the special effects, but then I have to argue about what the point of it is if they're that negligible.

    Or they can make it extremely grindy so that people won't expect you to have it.

    Or add similar effects to other things to compensate. Yoshida did mention they were interested in trying out more specific/weird stats (I believe the one he mentioned was Shield Bash +50 or something), so hopefully we'll see some of it. This game needs a lot in terms of interesting stats on gear if this is going to be any kind of successful gear treadmill game.

    Because that's the only way to go if were going to maximum gaudiness with gear upgrade design these days.
    How I imagine is going to look a year from now.
