I personally like it, especially my Nexus. To me its 1 of the best looking WHM weapons.

It doesnt look boring as a "simple staff" such as the Yagrush or T10 weapon and looks much better than most WHM weapons. especially if you compare it to the Omnirod or even the Ironworks staff. ( Seriously all Ironworks weapons looks awesome except the WHM one ).

PS: Tbh now that i think about it, apart from T5 and T9 WHM weapons, i dont like the look of most the WHM weapons.

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all, but for this beholder that weapon looks like crap. I'm sorry but I swear who ever designs some of the end game weapons must always be hopped up on LSD.

Anyways If you look at the FFXIV art book cover that is on the Loadstone (The Art of Eorzea) the male Hyur holding that sword in the center looks more like what I would expect for the next form of the Curtana. Albeit nothing is confirmed though. /shrug

Can't really see that as anything else. idk if this is going to be in 2.5 or in the expansion (i would guess 2.5 or earlier, this is kind of early to be showing off leaks like that).

i honestly doubt the final CT raid is going to have weapon drops, and i doubt odin would drop anything like this, so thats where my guess is pointing to.

I have my doubts that it is though. As the Curtana has no relationship to Excalibur (assuming the sword in the OP's post is indeed Excalibur). Given the Japanese love to draw from foreign history/culture in their games (especially SE with the Final Fantasy series) Curtana was a ceremonial sword used during the crowning of a British monarch. Curtana also draws links to the swords Durendal and Almace in French folklore in the Song of Roland. I can see Curtana becoming the Almace or Durendal, but Excalibur wouldn't make sense.

Either way that sword looks like it was made of wax, and someone left it near an open heat source for too long.

Yep. The new swords they added to replace daggers a couple of updates ago were great, as are some of the Grand Company options (Twin Adder specifically). Endgame swords though? I can't actually think of a good one... Holding out for a Fencer Class/Job, the most they can do to ruin those swords is make the hilt ridiculous... I hope... If Red Mage ends up wielding slabs on metal like Paladin does, my facepalm may rip a hole in realities.

This will probably require us to beat twintania 10 times, Nael 7 times, an the final coil boss 5 times. It will also require us to grind all of the turns at least 100 times to get some random useless drop that has 1% of dropping.. and you have to roll on it too =D. Dont forget you have to complete 3 different fates in every map region, kill 15 of the rarest monsters that take 5 mins to respawn and run the thousand maws of totorokokoko .... 1000 times. This is merely one.. of 10 enchantments you will need to complete to get the final form. Each enchantment scroll requires 2000 of the latest tomes.. which means.. yes you guessed it.. you will have to wait 5 weeks to max and get each scroll. But thats not so bad... I mean it will take you just about 5 weeks to complete each enchantment scroll.

Bloody brilliant... and a good way to get people to keep their subs ^_^.

Don't even give them this idea. Just no.

Finally new models for the relic weapons.

[MilesSaintboroguh]

To get the final relic, you must have a Nexus for every other weapon first. During a full moon. Standing on X13 Y20 in the South Shroud. While doing the Manderville in a full alliance. And having penta melded gear.
