    I'd just like to point out that the "it's fantasy" argument isn't very good. You don't give someone a miniature windmill and try to pass it off as an axe just because it's fantasy. A windmill doesn't look like a weapon and some of this Ifrit stuff don't look like weapons.

    I don't mind unusual materials, ornaments or magical effects (within reason), but when the designs are so impractical they no longer resemble weapons, we have a problem. The knuckles, as pointed out by previous posters, look more dangerous to the wielder than the enemy (a problem to a lesser extent shared by many previous FFXIV and FFXI fist weapons), the sword is so thick you'd almost mistake it for a blunt weapon or tool of some sort and the lance likewise doesn't look like a piercing weapon at all as it's head is super thick. The worst offender, though, is the bow that looks more like an artillery piece, and as if that wasn't enough, it's asymmetrical in a way that places its center of mass above the grip, which makes it extra unwieldy just in case it wasn't crappy enough.
