    Why is the WAR Relic so pathetic?

    For a weapon that's supposed to be the epitome of bad-assery, crafted by killing the legendary Primals I don't understand why they opted for this puny little thing and not only is it small, it has no detail. It's just some plain old Axe.

    Going from something like the Titan Axe to the Relic is just pure disappointment. I hope the Allagan Axe isn't as small/bland.

    It looks cool to me. Its shape/modeling isn't extravagant, but it's detailing is amazing.

    Garuda's Scream looks a million times better than Bravura.

    Actually, Garuda's Spine looks way better than the Artemis Bow with those fold-out wings.

    In general the Relic weapons look kind of crappy compared to the Garuda weapons. Squenix's idea of progress, I guess.

    So not true. There's no way Garuda's Beak looks better than Gae Bolg.

    Just because it's spikier and fancier = better. In my opinion, Bravura has an elegant and unique design. It isn't suppoused to be extravagant or elaborated. It's just a heavy as fuck axe that a legendary Warrior used. That's it.

    I *believe* that Bravura actually does have something unique about it: it's reflective. I don't believe that there are any other weapons in game that have that visual attribute (Holy Shield is reflective, but that's a shield).

    I will concur that it seems a bit small. I like the overall look of it, but I just kinda wish it were *bigger*. The thing should be big enough to be intimidating, not smaller than most axes you'll find while leveling.

    It kills things, hardly pathetic in my book. The gold trimming is really intricate, and I think that's cooler than spikes and such.

    I took my lesson from Bleach with a note on a minor character named Abarai Renji: It's hard to take one serious when their "pissed off/high power" energy pouring out is pink. The simplistic design kind of fed into the warrior mentality of "I don't care if it looks stupid so long as it gets the job done" minus the gold filigree, but the edge (could probably be a bit larger) polished to a mirror sheen was a nice touch to the weapon.

    Still though... could have gone a bit more red on the +1 to match the AF2 and make the allagan a bit less desirable, but that may play a part as well.
