Ifrit Fight

[Konachibi]

People complaining that new weapons aren't realistic enough.
Seriously, go die in a bus fire.

This is a goddamn game.
You're a fighting a huge *** fire spitting monster.

Go buy yourself a Katana and put it in your shelf if you want a more realistic weapon to admire.

woah woah woah take a chill-pill.

I think some of the confusion here stems from much of the aquirable clothing and weaponry so far looking very realistic in appearance, so suddenly having rather large shiny glowey stabby things that don't have a great deal of realism to them comes as a bit of a shock to some players.

They'll grow to like it though, or not, but if you're enjoying the game why let something as simple as a glow effect or a super-size-me weapon ruin it for you yeah? I'm sure with the materia system you'll be able to buff up a craftable weapon to be just as good as a primal weapon drop so it's no big deal.

Yea, i know what you mean.
But some people are like: "OMG They are ruining the game!!" lol
C'mon, they are finally giving us some unique equipment!

This weapons look great, I do hope the dev team is prompt to ignore general negativity.

/thumbsup

Keep them coming.

I don't understand the hate.

The item is from freakin Ifrit. If you've even seen Ifrit in the cutscenes, its only rightful these weapons have a fiery glow on them. Heck its not even a glow, its more of a skin glow where the horn part of the item is only glowing (save for the THM weapon with the glowing gemstone).

I'm all for more livelier weapons.

If you look a bit more carefully most of the issue is with shape/size not the glow..
That has actually been done a in a really tasteful way for a glow effect especially with it only showing when active not passive.. (imo at least)

Given how other weaspons are styled i think the models could have been better, some/most are just a bit chunky and imo a little tacky, i was really hoping for the style to be more along the lines of those ones on the magazine with the BowHarp on..

I can see some of the ones saying they hate these weapons getting them once 1.19 is released and then changing their tune and going "actually... these look really good!" XD

[DonMega]

nice weapons, cool graphic effects on them.

Constructive criticism means pointing out the positive along with the negative.

Constructive criticism means explaining your criticism and perhaps offering solutions. You don't need to say anything positive for it to be constructive.

I'm not a movie critic.

8 likes? Jesus Christ.

is it any surprise to you when people make the assumption that all you do is whine and complain?

It's not a surprise at all, never said it was. But that shouldn't even matter and there should be no one telling me to go away because of those false perceptions.

If SE isn't being told when they're doing something right, how do they know anything they do is being done right?

Because players don't complain about it, they did it right. Very simple and self-explanatory.

You want to make it about the company's interests but this has nothing to do with the company. You acted on emotion and that is because you have a problem with people criticising the game instead of saying good things about it. The company won't benefit from that, but you will feel better. That's what this is about, so stop using SE as an excuse to justify your reaction.

Saying things like:

What the hell is this crap?

and:

If you had to outsource your development to Korea, you could have at least told us.

is not "constructive" in any sense of the word.

I use colourful language in my posts, what can I say.

Said posts are full of constructive criticism, and especially that second quote of yours hits the nail in the head with the Korea reference. Looking at any Korean MMO shows you why. The similarities are apparent.
