Primal Battle, Ifrit Loot

[Gennosuke]

I initially thought that clip was a hoax. Now that is has sinked in.. While they look flashy, I think they gone overboard with these designs.

The real issues i see here are that presenting such weapons of this glow and size will make it hard and ridiculous to outdo in the future when more important and stronger weapons will inevitably come. These weapons will just be fancy looking but hardly utilized which is a shame and bad vision for future and longevity of weapons. While not a hardcore player myself, these are the kinda weapons i'd expect to be somethin reserved for end-game, something relic like and hard to get, atleast then they will hold some real value to those who hold it and have bad ass stats and perhaps some Ifrit exclusive abilities tied to the weapons.

I'm dreading the image i have of this game in a few years time when everyone will be running around with different types of glowing weapons from different summons. I'm not against introducing flashy weapons, but dont go too far from the start and i'll have to also agree the size and horn look has been overdone. The pug weapon is just fugly - Neck Pilow as someone stated, gauntlets would have been way nicer. And...has Ifrit munching on some PS Move controllers? >.>

Pugilist weapon looks lame as all get out. Smaller, more compact Pugilist weapons please.

The Marauder/Lancer ones are sweet, though.

[Ceons]

Marauder and Lancer look the best!

PUG and ARC could be smaller, and I think the THM weapon looks just weird...

Very overboard. I am disapointed with SE's Weapons Dev team on this one. If all primal stuff is going to look like this and have good stats then we are one step closer to a Korean MMO or a WoW like game.

Why should I pay for that if that happens? I want to pay for quality not free to play aion or something.

Why should I say if that happens? I want to play Final Fantasy not Aion.

*looks at front case of the game*

You are.

Your not going to like EVERY piece of gear ever added or going to be added in the game. Just say what you like and cross your fingers.. Maybe the next set of equipment will be more your taste.

Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention please!

Right, well...

Take a lookie at that, and look at the axe in the top left of the screen the Elezen is carrying.

Now try to tell me that Ifrits weapons are too elborate.

Also if you fancy taking on the case of a realistic approach, throughout the opening cinematic the Hyur uses a METAL bow, now forgive me if I'm wrong but don't bows need to be bendy? Plus his metal bow looks pretty thick and impractical to me...

Just thought I'd throw a bit of this in.

Cue even louder raging debate in

oh ffs kona, I thought you're better than this, this is just plain trolling.

the elezen's axe have simple engravings, and the hyur bow is not even half the size of the ifrit bow, this isn't even a good strawman you're throwing out here :/

Well yeah it was just something to throw in whilst I worked on something else in the other thread...

Sorry Sailor Mars but your bow is too elaborate and glowey, you are now korean

Sorry Reimi from star Ocean but your bow just looks too awesome, you are now korean

Sorry He-man but your sword is to artistic and glowey, you are now korean

Sorry Imperial Chaplain and Chaos Warrior, you're both korean as well apparently for wielding those weapons

There we go.

Yeah, the koreans are the only ones that make glowing artistical weaponry.

you guys have devolved so far into the realm of arguing in hyperboles that you're just talking past each other, doing nothing but piling up useless posts on top of useless posts :/

Yes, a guy may think the ifrit gear looks korean, probably because the only other place he's seen designs like that were in a korean game/mmo

Yes, a guy may like the new ifrit gear, but that doesn't mean he's a brainless WoW-oaf who can't appreciate a more subtle style.

at least try to look like you guys are trying to have a constructive debate :/
