New GS weapons.

[Grekumah]

Did not see any axe or books though?

Not only aren't there books, but there isn't an axe there either.

I am saddened by the lack of a buyable axe.

The prizes in the Gold Saucer were added focusing on the weapons from monsters, since there was a particularly high demand to be able to equip them on playable characters.

A lot of the axes were designed for specific monster animations, and they would need many changes to the current design and modelling compared to other types of weapons, so they weren't added this time around.

There aren't actually monsters that equip books yet, and since we would have had to design something completely new, they weren't added this time either.

We'll try to come up with some Gold Saucer-esque designs (but if you have any good ideas we'd definitely like to use them for reference so please let us know!).

When thinking of new prizes for future patches we intend to add both axes and books, so please hang tight for now!

What about the book from the villian summoner we fight during the summoner job quest?

Yeah it definitely looks like the Ifrit book to me.

Guess it has been awhile for me too. Oh well it was worth a shot /shrug

Wait, which mob uses the Crab Monk Claws o.0....
I think the demand for Gigas Knuckles (Or Invisible Knuckles) is much higher since they actually fit to your fists like a glove.

The assets team has to design something new instead of reusing stuffs?

Oh the horror!

Okay, I have to ask because I'm seeing it a fair bit in recent Dev Tracker posts.

Is "please hang tight for now!" the new "Please look forward to it!" ?
