Primal Battle, Ifrit Loot

[goonMagi]

I can see the armour that goes with it, huge glowing shoulder pads, spiky horns!

I don't blame them for going for a more WoW/Generic look to pull in numbers, but it doesn't mean I have to like it.

As trollish as this seems, no one could have said it better. I agree 100%.

i personaly thought weapon designs have been rather bland up until now, I dont want to look at a realistic twig in a fantasy game im not here for realism i want to see some imagination put into the stuff i can use not just oh look a new twig with a flower head on it yay

I will agree with you there!! ugh the one handed CNJ weapons >.<

Wish they would drop designing them like that xD

I don't see these weapons being generic at all. They simply accentuate from where they come. Ifrit, the Primal from Hell, a very powerful being.

what's with all those un-classy & glowing hate comments?
this is a final fantasy game, and as such it pretty much deserves weapons like those shown in the video.
im stunned by the effect those weapons have on some.
what's next, chocobos being to unreal? need moar horse like mounts?
seriously, some people don't get the "fantasy" part in final fantasy.
i'm not asking for huge burning 2-hand swords that cover the area in 2km distance with a glowing effect, but atleast some "fantasy" is surely not gonna hurt anybody.
hate on

The look great to me, only the bow looks overdone, and thats just because of size. Lance and axe look best imho

But i REALLY like the glow effect, it doesnt steam outward and drip and haze..... Thank god. That gets really annoying to look at.

I enjoy that soft red glow.

what looks good to one man can look like crap to another, neither is more right than the other.

one thing I've always liked in both 11 and 14 is the relatively realistic look of the gears, that's just my personal taste. IMO, just because it has "fantasy" in the title doesn't mean it has to go down the over-stylized high fantasy route.

I have expressed why I feel the way I feel when I see item design like that. Is it hate to disagree with something and explain your reasoning behind it? OK, then I am a hater of the new style they used to design these weapons.

Personally I don't see why they are giving up on the style we have had throughout the last year. No, we don't need to have "the same old boring thing". But we also don't need to have mega-big items that look crazy, and have all these crazy glowing effects on them. Why not make it subtle? Why not try to make the item look cool without over-sizing it?

I was a fan of the good and cool looking items that didn't jump on the big and shiny bandwagon. Just my personal taste though, and I can see it will be phased out pretty fast when the new gear starts to look like this.

Those H2H weapons look strangely familiar...... As if I gained them before in a certain korean beta test of a game..

Seriously if someone doesnt like them, let them be. Its like a kids playground in these forums.

I like them, i was bored of the bland-non creative weapons so this is a good change.
