Cartoony art style, hell no we won't go

Omg, lol

That blue one I think is Tidus's weapon from FFX and it is indeed much more elaborate or equivalent of the ifrit weapons :P You just cant see it as well because they are low res.

Here is a better picture of the same sword you posted :P

at this point, both the for and against camp have pretty much devolved into the equivalence of competing in the special Olympics, and we all know what that means :P

for those who likes it, great, enjoy it, don't let the giant horns bury you alive.

for those who don't like it, too bad, SE ain't gonna change it at this point, just hope that they aren't gonna make every weapon like that from now.

stop trying to pass off your preference as if it's the universal truth, it's disgusting.

seeing as i work w/ authentic KOREANs rofl im gonna have to ask them to deciepher wtf these people keep claiming to be Korean on these forums lol. God i hope im not wearing KOREAN underwear or eating w/ KOREAN forks/knifes/sporks i just cant handle all this KOREAN in my life. Someone please get the KOREAN outa me.

If by KOREAN u mean great artistic ability/lisc. and a endless imagination then sure FILL ME UP W/ KOREAN PLEASE and make it premium. If u peoples want plain-jane armor and weapons nerd you up some and play in the backyard with your friends.

hahaha good post.

Why are we comparing art styles of different games by different artists?

[Big-Beach]

While in certain circumstances we'd like to think the customer is always right, please do keep in mind that Square (SE) has been making video games for years; their artists have designed hundreds, if not thousands, of weapons for a variety of environments. I'm almost certain that their creative team have access to the references used in previous games and photographs of swords spanning the history of mankind. "Realistic" and "Fantasy" seems to be about the extent to which the non-professional can categorize weapon designs. If you feel your personal experience at weapon design holds more weight than the combined talent of the entire creative team at SE, please do share in detail how you would make things better.

We have no idea how much time they spend on designing each weapon. The countless drafts, edits and discussions held for the visual appearance of every item made for the game. It's not like there's some chump with an artistic ego churning out these things by themselves in a cubicle somewhere. "Look what I made! In the game in goes..."

Is Night Vision Top Hat too Korean?

I vote we implement Night Vision Top Hat.

Weeeellllll, they COULD redo it but it would take 6 months to pick the new designs, another 6 months to put the designes in the game, and two MORE minutes after its posted in a preview for everyone to say they hate it and demand they start over.
