Idea to add "Anima" particle effects to other weapons

[Shougun]

USgamer: Do you feel satisfied with the current way users work their way up to end-game gear and weapons?

Yoshida: We had the Zodiac weapon and then the Anima weapon, where the players were powering up their weapons through their own efforts. We feel we've already done what we can for those weapons.

We would like to keep that concept of having to put in the effort, little by little, in order to power up your weapon. We want to take it in a direction where you're taking on a challenge in order to achieve that. The next time, we'll probably not just have it for weapons, but also for armor as well.

Anima effects on gear may near literally happen :P

With each Job being a different color the new hub will light up as a christmas tree, able to be seen from space.
(thinking about it. Wonder what RDM and SAM's job color will be. WAR is already red... hmmm...)

Haha, could do color checks to make sure your raid is organized / ready. GREENS -50DKP FOR NOT BEING WHERE THE HELL YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE, HEY HEY I SEE YOU WITH THAT RED, STOP IT!

I like special effects on gear but I'd like to see if they try their hand at some more tame ones as well. Like subtle fire, or light dripping/subtle rippling veins, even a more inline but still "pretty" effect like the brotherhood sword in FFX (like bubbles inside the weapon, and not appearing on top of it).

The Relic ones can still be over the top cause sure they're obnoxiously grindy but it'd be nice to see something less turned to 11, like they did those armor effects a while ago (big shiny shielding effect) - not as much subtle stuff.
