Why are Warrior Axes so tiny?

[Gamemako]

I think your pictures are exaggerating. It will help get your point across much better to use actual in-game screenshots for comparison.

I took a test shot with the Bravura on my character's back. Estimating from that, it's 279 pixels from top of the blade to the lower notch (furthest visible part in the concept art) and 37 vertical pixels between corner of mouth and corner of eye. In the concept art (1920x1200), it's 323 pixels from the same locations on axe and 38 pixels from corner of eye to corner of mouth. One can surmise from this that the axe blade is actually pretty in line with concept art size. This isn't perfect, obviously, but it is a good ballpark.

Fixed. I care more about the awesome helmet-less DS armor than anything ;-; that art is why I chose to roll a War femroe.

I personally don't feel the high-level Warrior axes are small. I like the Bravura in particular.

I wish the effing Monk weapons were smaller, sick of having giant handheld war clubs instead of something you could actually do martial arts punches with while holding. They were fine in the early levels when knuckles/claws were the biggest things you would have but once you get to endgame it becomes ridiculous.

gimme this axe



But seriously they need to fix the scaling, especially for Roes.

Roll a lalafell, everything is big to them :3

to contribute to the thread: I prefer the size of the axe atm, there are various size and they all have a heavy feeling on them, so I dont think it need to be THAT big

Because, before the art team were left alone with the blue smarties, the game was designed with a certain amount of down to earth pragmatism. When ifrit weapons were first released, a lot of people decried the shift to glowy lightsabres of death. And now we come full circle; people upset about weapons that are normally proportioned.

Too small? Have you seen the size of Garuda's Scream? It makes me feel like I'm fanning the boss, not cleaving it. I compared it to Ifrit's Battleaxe, which I feel has a good ratio to it.



Keep in mind, this comparison is made on a max height Elezen female model. YMMV

/agreed

I really like the armour, the lvl 25/35 tincan armours I can handle, but the ridiculous shoulder pads and strange metal "ears" on the helmet make me tempted to just go with Odin armour to dungeons instead.
