Primal Battle, Ifrit Loot

[wiremeshi]

"Puts hands up" Okay I'm going to jump into the deep end here and join Reinheart and post some of my ideas. Now I must stress I like the new weapons but I do think that the bow could do with some scaling in size. and like Reinheart did for the H2H weapon I want to show you all some of my designs for said bow.

Now, now I know its a sketch but I wanted to get it off my chest quite fast so I only marked the the parts where main glow sections are. I would also like to add that the one on the far right is a sketch of the original and the others are my ideas based off the original they are to scale to each other. So they are smaller too.

over all was quite fun to do.

ReinHeart:

Fast sketch I did + took pic with my phone and added the colors online so looks bit crappy but wanted something like this

I know that's what I was getting at. People are saying these ifrit weapons look korean but they never say Dante's weapons look korean and they hold some strong resemblences in many cases.

And yeah I have Magna Carta II on my 360 and it's good fun. Kind of odd though, it was made by Banpresto which is actually a Japanese toys & games company but they used a korean anime art style. Always confused me a little that did.

I mean, the Korean anime style was copied from the Japanese style, so they're sort of copying something that was copied from them in the first place @.@

different context, you can't really deny that these days designs like that are usually associated with Korean MMOs. Back in DMC's days, there hasn't been much of any Korean presence in western gaming market, so naturally any link would be rather impossible. Remember, perceptions do change over time. Besides, the Korean designs usually takes from both JP and Western designs, which results in a rather distinct style for me... I guess "beautified western fantasy" is how I would describe it.

As for korean anime/manga... for some reason I usually can't bring myself to like them. Outside of a few exceptions, I just don't find the art attractive.

True enough, usually when something uses a lot of something then people start associating that thing with it. Kind of like how The Rasmus kept using the heartagram and people started to think it was theirs, when it was actually H.I.M's creation, or how people associate Transformers as an American cartoon when it was originally created in Japan.

People just forget the origins of these things I guess.

I'm usually against glowstick style weapons but these are all pretty tasteful and not too over the top. I'd really like to see the stats on them to see if they're worth it!

Except for the bow... That one just looks terrible.

It must be sarcastic day. Tasteless, tacky, and way overdone.
