Petition Against Ifrit Weapon Designs

[LavellaNyteshade]

Ya I agree with u Xion. These weapons are so out of place with the entirety of the current game design, its ridiculous.

Did they call in Blizzard to help them with the workload on the patch?

You would think that when you come here. But thats what the FEEDBACK AND SUGGESTIONS forum is for. This is for Items, synth and gathering. Or are the FF forums just a massive lets bitch about S.Es shitty games board?

To be honest, their forum structure as a whole is pretty bad. But yes, that's what the forum is for. Centralised means of generating and collecting feedback for developers use when developing the game. Some people "bitch", some people "criticise", but it can all be used when improving the game either way.

You know what's annoying? Some people acting as a forum police (some with just 20 posts under their belt!) trying to repress the complaints because they are annoyed about it.

Face the facts: The developers try their best but they are not perfect and will make mistakes. If nobody is pointing those mistakes out for them they can not improve their product.

The only thing hurting this community are the people trying to shut the criticism down and accepting the status quo that could be improved so much.

It's especially annoying when these people act like any new information should be regarded as the God's doing that absolutely must not be criticised in any way. Some things they do are for the better, some are not, and we need to point out the things that are not for the better. They will then make the final call. Not you or me.

Good lord...i think i never saw Betelpatrick acting this rational! For once i do agree with every single post of you in this topic! @_@

Specially last one...the comment you diid in bold actyally was worth being in "capital red" too since it does is the primary purpose not only of the forum but any feedback mechanic! ^^

Oh yes I see the error of my ways, I tell people to think about what they are posting and I'm backseat modding.
GG.

I have watched the rewards over and over again.

Still can't see why anyone can complain about how they weapons look.

What other items in the entire game look like that?

Now look at every other weapon in the game right now, they all look the same with minor differences, wether it'll be color, or a small part added.

I enjoy how they look, and look forward to actually having the staff, maybe it'll boost up my fire spells.

If you don't want it, I'll take it.

Is that what your small little mind told you?

You people need to seriously give up this whining.

That's not your call to make.

What other items in the entire game look like that?

Bingo. They're like from a whole different game. That's the goddamn problem.

So? It could have been a regular sword, and Ifrit gave it some of his power. Glad it's different. How could it look more unique if they had based it off of other design previously in the game? Just add the glow?

With just a glow effect, I think it would still be the same bland weapon, just shiny.

@Betelgeuzah
You are a hypocrite and I am laughing at you.

You really don't seem to understand. Having consistency doesn't mean re-using the same designs over and over again.

Keeping the proportions somewhat realistic would be one thing. Making the design look like a swiss knife of weapons doesn't make it any cooler either.

But all weapons in FFXIV are based off each in some way, with minimal ways to make them look different. Like all the robes so far. They are being reused.

As for proportions, the only two weapons that seems weird, were Bow and Hand-to-hand.
