Novus Weapon Glow, New Design?

[Zakalwe]

no, we should get a rainbow.

I like your thinking. A pulsading rainbow with sparks and wafting smoke coming out of it maybe?

[stanrir]

i like the anima glow :3 , if u want the anima weapon w/o glow go buy the atma weapon and remodel it :P

So happened to stumble across this image:

I'm just wondering, I thought the novus weapons would be getting a totally new look? By the design of the curtana, it looks like our work for novus is nothing but another, bigger glow. If this applies for all novus weapons, I would be extremely disappointed.

Off topic, but is that a gorilla lol? Gorilla bst pet; I want^^

I currently have the gae bolg animus and look forward to the novus quest, I wont mind the glow even if they do it a few more times, whatd I would like to see is new sounds, a stronger weapon should have a stronger sound. I want to hear thunder when bursting on bosses with a supposed epic legendary weapon, I dont possess a moogle weapon but I beleive they have the moogle sound when you attack. I just think itd be nice if the 4th or 5th form of the weapon sounded much stronger than the first.

The next upgrade will leave ghost trails of your weapon as you swing it.

There are subtle differences between the atma/animus vs relic/zenith. It's my belief that with each upgrade the weapon will undergo continuous subtle changes (other than the glow, which mainly signifies the "peak" of each phase change), eventually to a point where it doesn't resemble the original relic at all. This would, of course, be many years down the line.

1: We don't know how many upgrades there's going to be.
2: why would they make a new model for relic with each patch, when they add a new upgrade?
3: it would make ppl angry that they spend so much time on making new look for relic, instead of actual content.
4: you dont forge a new wep, you infuse your relic with the spirit of slain, powerful enemies, so why would your weapon transform into another shape, for that?
There's not a lot of ways to make a wep look more powerful, except glow, unless you remodel it. And it would probably be something stupid like Sahagin mount (lets give drake mount a longer jaw, and add flippers=new mount)
5: The quest-line states that the Zodiac braves wielded weapons that shone like a thousand suns (because they infused their weps, with the spirits of slain, powerful enemies)...so lore...
