Ifrit Fight

[Victor]

It's not about the scripting they put into the weapon. I am criticizing it as a whole.

1. The design is oversized for most classes.
2. They didn't consider alternative means of "spiffyfying" up the weapon, like...I don't know, actually using a real weapon as the base and using the Ifrit-themed elements as decorative, rather than functional, parts of the weapon. (Like using the horns as a handguard on the weapon, as opposed to being THE weapon)
3. The glow is too bright for my preference, it immediately conjures up horrible memories of Lineage 2 and AION.
4. They probably ACTUALLY listened to the community's *** thread about having glowing weapons. Holy ***, people, way to force a change in the art direction of the game into something that is so contrary to the original direction set forth by Tanaka.

Now, I may have knocked Tanaka in the past, but I think he was right in one thing about FFXIV direction: The art assets. He wanted to keep things "humble" and "realistic".

Are these weapons from Ifrit realistic? *** no.

P.S. Any counter-argument saying that this is "Fantasy" and that it allows anything to go into the game, please do your research. Look at FFXI, FFXII, and FFXIV before this garbage appeared. You can see there is a consistent art direction, and if you can't, you're a *** who only gives a *** if there are shiny goody stuffs to swing your *** around with.

Because XIV's degree of realism at release really had players praising the game...

Ya ok no

Personally I like some of them, like the mrd and lnc weapons. The bow looks cool, but a little beastly. Honestly though, compared to those horribly desinged flying contraptions the empire uses nothing looks very rediculous or out of place in the world.

They do not look out of place, seeing they come from a Primal. Good choice of art for the weapons.

[Athaya]

With the exception of the marauder weapon they all look pretty hideous to me.

The Ifrit H2H has a similar look to the Verethragna in FFXI. http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy...erethragna.png

I've been reading similar responses to PP in the course of a few days. Is this really the best argument you guys have to counter anything she posts?.

Is her credibility affected by her Signature instead of what she's posting?

I will agree her responses are a little bit.... what ever =p But do you need to resort to this to get the upper hand?....

I'm with those who find the style of these weapons inconsistent with the rest of the game. I really dislike them. At the very least the horn-like aspects need to be shrunk down significantly and made sleeker/less rounded.

Edit: I'm trying to compare them to Ifrit himself. I think for instance the axe is fine, but the pugilist weapon and bow are really off.
