[dev1016][dev1017][dev1076] Materia Weapons glow?

[Nemo5990]

Materia adding a glow in combat? ... Meh maybe.. (as long as its subtle)
Materia added a glow to WS's? 000.. Ok, i could go for that..
Materia adding a glow all the time? . OH Hell NO!

It wont bring in players, just cos our weapons look like light sabers...
New effects/animations might help a little but not a huge amount.
But it will just be yet another step towards a middle of the road generic mmo in a market that is already over crowded with middle of the road mmos.

SE need (imo) to yes massively improve some areas and add content that feels like a FF, and make this a FF mmo.
It wont compete with the larger middle of the road mmos.
But a good MMO can do great in a smaller way. (EvE, DaoC (ok it was big ) is still running strong, FFXI)

I'm not trying to say make it glow like a neon stick >< that's just the concept i was trying to throw out there.
however they decide to do it if they did i'm sure it would look somewhat more real then a light-saber plus an if you didn't like the glow /Bloom off that's it .

Id also like to add that 1+ would be a very small type of glow of elemental status as the +2 would have more particles the +1 an the +3 would have something special or not an just add more trail.
This is Final Fantasy they said there bring the Materia system which mean we will be adding elemental effect an other customizable effect on our weapons if i have a lightning augumented bow an my arrow's don't look like there is electricity running through it how real does that make make hte fantasy of this Gameplay if my lightning bow just shoots normal arrows better at least do some type of graphical damage effect like spark the mob or something come on
