Poor Designed Weapon's.

It's not so much that it's ugly as much as that it's just a crumby bow. Fancy though i guess like shoes.[/URL]

whats funny is no one is trying to argue about the realism of Archers shooting one arrow up into the air with dozens magically raining down on enemies.

in Eorzea, weight is no matter as weapons will come in all shapes and sizes, also, all arrows always shoot straight forward but instead of actually missing like they would in real life, they dissappear and a message pops up informing you. (this was all light sarcasm)

the weapons are generally not bad looking and i think its the incorrect attitude to expect a fantasy game to ONLY cater to realism especially when the games history and title incorporate a large amount of fantasy.
if she was shooting arrows with the arrows pointed backwards then i think itd be time for people to start to complain about realism issues.
some realism might stick out more so than others but these weapons fit the over all look of the entire franchise and also the games future.

I dont need to say anything else.

lol I'm not trying to say that SE should change the weapons I'm just pointing some stuff out based on my reactions. It's like I said it wouldn't make sense to anyone if the game made you pull your arrow back 6 inches behind your bow. That's a generalized case that anyone will understand so maybe you understand what other people feel when they think that some graphic models in the game make no sense.

Again not personal, game. I am well aware.

i wouldnt doubt it. but also people with money who are into fashion. those are Alexander Mcqueen spring 2010.
not that i give a damn, im just saying veriety is great and elaborate designs can fit in in all environments. those are worn at galas with other people dressed in million dollar outfits.

Game should have more weapons and looks from FF12 & FFT. It has alot of Judgemasters in FFXIV why not...

Not only but the bow can also be used as a hat. =)

you guys are dumb, talking about how you need to figure out the art style of this. i dont know who you trolls think you are but i would bet 90% of you are not designers, or artists, (game profession) so if your gonna complain about perfectly good stuff like you guys always do, dont try to act like you can do a better job and and say it doesnt fit the art style.
i AM a 3D artist, and i personally think these weapons look amazing, and cant wait to get them.
and i would also like to mention if i was on that team and put out those awesome weapons, with the response you guys are giving, i would not be motivated to provide you with anything you actually want.
so i guess the main point im trying to make is, i hate you all... the trolls at least
