Poor Designed Weapon's.

Arent all items,equipment, and world designs in general done by Akihiko Yoshida first, then modeled by the rest of the team? If he designed the weapons, then i'd say they fit with the game. You may not like how they look, but they certainly fit in the context of being made directly from it's body.

Well when I say you, i dont mean you specifically...just people in general. Guess I should've be more specific

I think the designs look awesome. Go SE.

you said "you" and quote me i just put the two together but i get you the wep look awesome but i think they could have made them better to fit little more.

whats funny is the people who say the weapons dont fit in the game dont realize that this game aesthetically doesnt fit in with the entire franchise.

even the 2d era had its own intricate detailed beauty in both equipment and weapons.
so again, the weapons are fine, its everything else about the look of this game that makes it less Final Fantasy because its so much more subdued than the rest of the franchise.

FFXIV equipment and gear are even more colorless and bland than FFXI, FFXI is in general more bland than most of the rest of the franchise.
Why should this happen at all? is it because its an MMO that it for some reason needs to not look like the rest of Final Fantasy?
i didnt understand it when i started XI and i didnt understand it when i started XIV

SE should redesign the weapon. really, especially that bot ><

when i saw mrd wep i though rift when saw the rest i thought wow/rift -.- they really need a remake they look too wowish.

Because they slightly resemble something you would see in the best MMO on the market? Flawed logic... refer to my other post.

Sometimes things can get....let's say chopy in the time between concept and creation. I personally think time was in extreme restraint in these items, the textures on them look stretched on some items, again it just looks like they took Ifirits model data and plastered it onto a allready created mesh in random areas.

This thread is what happens to creativity when you let people have a say on it. Sometimes I wonder if I should form an international support group for us concept artists who want to kill themselves every time the majority says what they like because it's always boring western sh**.

Dragon Age was already released go play that if you fear that original weapon designs just might make you ***.
