Anyone Else Disappointed We Didn't Get FF15 Themed Weapons?

Some of the SJWs that play this game prevent square from adding things like that haha last sexy thing glam wise we got was the swimsuit stuff back in 2013-2014 ish

*looks at the Shisui of the Violet Tides sets from Stormblood* Ummmm?

Like the title says, I was a bit disappointed we didn't get FF15 themed weapons, especially since at the end of the trailer for the event, it showed every job's weapon in FF15 style. So seeing that part of the trailer, it made me "certain" that we'd be getting those weapons for our jobs (not unlike the Yokai Watch event).

Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with the event and happy with the outfit, hairstyle and car. But after they went through the trouble of designing them for the trailer, just wish the weapons would have been rewards for something in the event.

Aye, i wanted those weapons bad, on top of the Knigsglaive Outfit. Both male and female versions and yes, i wanted them dye-able.

Female


Male

If they added in too much from one game, it would take away the uniqueness between the two, unless they intend to completely merge the two games..... I was surprised they gave us a car and motorcycle...not disappointed as I have both.

I'm gonna point out something funny, and I hope it makes people laugh. But there is a way of getting the weapons you see in the trailer, but it's not gonna be easy

Here's how....

You'll have to beat UwU (Ultima Weapon Ultimate). The weapon silhouettes you see at the end are the Zodiac Weapons, so they are nothing new and already in the game

Female


Male

Aren't these really close to the new scion outfit we got?

...

In one aspect, yes very similar. However i didn't want similar, i wanted them. Hence the reason i went through the trouble of finding both the female and male variants. In saying that, i also wanted FFXIV themed weapons for all classes. Noctis's clothes are fine for most, but my character looks a bit to old to be running around in something more suited to what my son would wear.

I had assumed he meant things like the machine-guns the soldiers used.

At least we have a car but considering the roads in Eorzea, I tend to think the Monster Truck Regalia would have been a better choice ( keeping the flying mode, of course )

No. XV's weapons besides the Engine Blade aren't very unique. Stylistically they're nice, but ultimately nothing special like the classic FF weapons with all kinds of colors and decal. Shiva's weapons already cover the crystal look of Noctis' arsenal.

I get that about the new outfit. Honestly it has a few to many flourishes here and there to be a hit with me; and that hood, yeesh. And while the XV outfits you linked are nice, I can't say I would look good in them. And I get what you mean about the actual outfit we get. I haven't played XV but I think his outfit changes after the time skip to show his maturity, which is exactly what you are saying. There's a reason I've been telling my friends that this is the outfit of a shounen protagonist, lol. As for weapons, I guess see below. Though that doesnt change anything for anyone who wanted anything specific from XV.

The OP specifically mentions the weapons in the trailer, the ones in the background when the title appears. But if you look at them, they are the Zodiac Weapon's or most of them are; I know the DRK one is its "original" endgame weapon from HW. And UwU is the only place to get all of the weapons with that particular aesthetic.

Also, if you pay attention you'll notice something else about the weapons. Throughout the trailer the WoL is depicted as a SAM; not surprising give the current expansion. But when the weapons appear on screen there are only 14, a funny node in itself. It might be hard to see, especially if the player you are viewing the trailer on keeps that play icon after you pause it, but the weapons go in this order: DRK, WHM, MNK, BRD, RDM, SCH, SAM, WAR, MCH, SMN, BLM, NIN, AST, and PLD. You can see that DRG is missing. But when the title appears, the DRG weapon is the one paired up with Noctis' weapon to form the X. I guess it makes sense since it's the only weapon to have significant length. But it does seem odd that the focal job is a SAM but the focal weapon is for a DRG; a subtle nod to both expansions maybe, lol. I doubt it. It was probably just the most convenient solution.

I think the katana and rapier used for the promo image are different.
