To get this out front, the reason this thread exists is my own disappointment in the new Nexus weapons. They are, almost quite literally drowning in particle effects. Many players, myself included, sort of liked the now iconic base design of our relic weapons for various reasons. At this point, while they live up to the over all theme of "reaching for the stars" that the Zodiac Saga has going, they feel like they have lost their charm to a degree.

In many ways, I was already disappointed with Bravura Novus. I was all-too-content to have a personalized weapon that I will likely use until I can no longer upgrade it, but currently, Bravura Novus is glamoured to the I'Cie Bardiche because, despite its golden glow going rather well with my all white armor, it no longer "feels" like Bravura.
