[Breaking News] Behold! The loot from the Dark Moogle Battle!!

[Nexxus]

I prefer 100 time the moogle bow than the ifrit one. the same bow without the moogle on it, and it look perfect. they should have add a "moogle-ish" effect when throwing arrow instead, or put the quiver as a moogle theme.

[Wevlum]

I like them they look fun and yet are done well so they don't look completely ridiculous. People are a little up-tight when it comes to how armour and weapons look it seems. Sure they look a little quirky and maybe a tiny bit silly but I think that's part of the appeal, it isn't like every piece of armour in the game are going to look like this.

[grandm]

i am willing to bet if some1 buys this game in march. runs down ul'dah's streets, and spots some1 showing off there moogle weapons to a group of ppl. the newbie's first thought is not going to be "OH MY GOD, look at that spear, this game is stupid. i'm leaving!"

[Dragon]

The only one that appeals to me is the sword; the axe looks more like a re-paint than anything. That said, all but the sword and H2H needs a bit more work to be moogle-themed weapons IMO.

[fusional]

This development team is making it appear as though they intend all End Game weapons to look absurd. Personally I'll reserve judgement for the third Primal Fight as I am sure this Moogle fight is more of a comedic thing than anything.

maybe also reserve judgment until you've actually experienced the content you *need* us to know your opinion of

I can't wait to see people bleeding out of their eyes in anger about these weapons, yet they're probably going to be the first ones in line for them after the patch. ._.

I like them. I think every game is allowed a certain amount of humor in them. I mean..I -really- hope nobody was expecting whatever gear we got from this fight to be super srs bsniz. It's Dark MOOGLE fight, not Shadowlordv2.0

Pfft, I want my Shadow Lord v2 content damn it! THIS IS SO NOT FAIR, WHY AM I BEING SHAFTED!?!?!?!?!? QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ

I like the GLD, PUG, CON and THAU weapons, I like how SE combined the Moogles into the weapons to make it a working, functioning part of the weapon!

MAR... it looks plain beside those four, if you're gonna put a white moggles on all the weapons, put it on MAR too. It looks out of place among the others.


LNC and ARC... it looks like they ran out of ideas and had to put the moogle somewhere so they just plopped the poor thing onto the weapon wherever they could and called it a day. It would have been awesome if they have incorporated it INTO the weapons... as soon as I saw the rest this is what I instantly thought of::

...and I did this right as I woke up and I usually take more time on my drawings so if you don't like it, oh well.


The bows main body could have BEEN the Moogle with his little head at the top with his wings popping out. Make the middle all white to simulate the body and then have it go into wood for the rest. Also thought it would be cute (but it wouldn't have to be there) if the tops of the bow were moogle wings holding the bow string in place! Maybe when it was out and activated the wings would flap like the Thau Moogle spins!

For the LNC, it would be a silver-ish lance to simulate a shiny skinned moogle. At the top would be the moogles head, with the arms popping out the side of the top of the lance. Then the moogles bat wings would be raised up into a purplish metal and form the two blades of the lance!

My bad concept art (usually I take longer on my drawings lol) I just drew it for a basic idea when I woke up and saw what they had done lol.

Excellent artwork. I do think they could've used the moogle wings as part of the waraxe's blade myself at least.

Ok.. so if these weapons are better than Ifrit's... nobody is going to be doing Ifrit fight anymore?

Kill 1 endgame content for another? Why didn't they make the loot jewelry or body pieces or something that compliments what endgame content we have already.

Somehow, I doubt they'll be superior to Ifrit weapons, maybe they'll be like 3rd-rate yet easier to get.

There's a difference between sharing an opinion and constant bitching.

When it comes to the forums, people tend to bitch a hell of a lot more than you would think. I respect opinions, but when you have people thinking it's the end of the world because of 7 weapon drops, it just gets annoying. Especially the people that keep saying they are doing a bad job and "what were they thinking".

Well, im one of those who loves this game and im not bitching just to annoy but i really dont like those weapons, ifrit weapons are cool at least 6 of the 7 available, but just seeing the pug knuckles i fear the worst in gear.

Its way too much difference from the weapons we had and the ones that appear in the photo of 2.0 version i hope this are the last cartoony weapons we get, and i hope it doesnt go to the gear too, like having giant WoW type shoulder armor, i like weapons to look bad ass, not like this i almost feel that the pug will have hearts and marshmellows animation when they hit with a moggle sound lol

But thats only me, i dont think that im the only one who feels like this....

[SAMINUS]

The pug wpns look retarded. What is happening to my fav class?

[CrstyCaptin]

It really looks like they got lazy with the bow and lance. The sketch above would be way better having it incorporated into the weapon.

Now for a serious request. Can we PLEASE have mp regen while our weapon is out? I like the staff and how the moogle twirls around but I never play with my staff drawn! Maybe 1.20 will change this....?

[Firon]

Actually, it's fourteen now.

This development team is making it appear as though they intend all End Game weapons to look absurd. Personally I'll reserve judgement for the third Primal Fight as I am sure this Moogle fight is more of a comedic thing than anything. That being said. If they don't start moving toward a more "High Fantasy" look, they run the risk of alienating their fan base, again.

The style of the primal weapons, so far, is "Fantasy". They are cartoony and cater to the WoW-like MMO crowd. Final Fantasy is "High Fantasy", it requires elegance. But, as I said before, this Moogle fight is likely supposed to be comedic. Ifrit is supposed to be Bold. I will reserve Judgement for the next set.

They just want all the weapons to look like the base weapons with different name. How disappointing was it to get shiva claws in XI to find they just dat swapped the claws with another item lol and added para chance to them ; ;
