Cartoony art style, hell no we won't go

[Firon]

Depends on your blade type bro, In real life I am holding onto a REAL bastard sword (great sword =/= bastard sword there are differences) and it weighs over 5 lbs and I've trained with swords that were heavier than that. I'd take what I can hold in my hands over a link someone is providing any day for my facts (especially on the internet)

Sure ok but... just read the facts if a sword weigh 15 pounds that's not real lol its an replica lol... Wielding a 15 pound sword in combat would get you killed very fast.....anyways im off to the gym lol....

..Other weapons, from other games, that have different art styles & themes?

For mentioning Final Fantasy XIII and it's sequel: here's a present.

Touché!

That doesn't mean there will be a thread for everything. For example, if the weapons weren't so oversized I am pretty sure people would still find them cool, but there would be no negative backlash as there is currently. People would like them, some more, some less, but it would only come down to personal preferences. Such is not the case here.

You are 100% correct, there will NOT be a thread for everything. People who tend to not have an issue or are happy with what is going on are less likely to post or say something. But if someone posts or says something that goes against their opinion they are more likely to comment and express their like for it. Why, because by human nature people are more likely to complain that compliment. When someone is happy with something and someone challenges it, they feel a need to defend it.

It's the same as if someone had posted a thread in support of the weapons. If I went and posted a thread saying how much I liked the Ifrit weapons you don't think people won't post disagreeing with my statement?


And yes that is the case here and now... as you see this person made a thread explaining why they didn't like it. As you see a lot of people are posting on here saying they IN FACT like them. Even on that big thread they were talking about another person also pointed out that even on that other thread of complains people were positing saying they liked the weapons.

It is MY personal preference that I like the weapons.

It is the OPs person preference that they don't like the weapon.

Does that mean I am right and the OP is wrong, or vice verse. No, it means that we just have differing opinions... no ones opinion in this is right or wrong, it is all about personal preference. The OP isn't wrong, I just don't agree with their opinion and there is nothing wrong with that.

If you look though this forum every negative thread with have people disagreeing, and every positive thread will have people disagreeing. Welcome to a thing called an opinion.


Also I have to disagree... even if the weapons were less bulky people would STILL complain because you're missing one key factor. People aren't just complaining about the SIZE but also the DESIGN and the GLOWING effect.

Take away the bulk and you still have design and glow for people to complain about. I mean seriously, SE GIVES people 200 extra inventory... whats wrong with that?? And people STILL complained. I'm sorry but you're arguments aren't logical and seem very narrow in view.

They look fine to me and not too overdone on the glow effect. Having said that, the bow is a little big.

What's the big glowing ice-cream cone that Roegadyn is using?
A culinarian weapon O.o/?

Oh here I found a thread about the Ifrit loot where the OP did start it by saying that the loot looks awesome, so there is your positive thread!

I 100% agree with the statement of Gramul. It was an essential aspect for me choosing to play this game, since the design was natural, and when it comes to weapons even realistic. These new lava glowing things are like from annother world rather than from eorzea.
Please no more uber size weapons !!

[Eekiki]

Those weapon designs were from Final Fantasy XIV.

The emphasis should be on Final Fantasy, not the XIV.
