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

[SilvertearRen]

I'd rather see realistic weapons, not ones where they're glowing with the power of a thousand suns. Take that sh*t to Lineage 2 and Aion, please.

The least I'd permit in regards to weapons glow, would be a very, VERY subtle glow for the materia itself. No more, no less.

I swear its like you guys are only commenting about the glow an not reading about the particle generation i wrote down ,in the 3rd paragraph i just now bolded it also i'm not trying to suggest neon sticks i'm trying to suggest that we can see our element dripping off the weapon or something like it some type of graphical addition to having element status added on the weapon even if it is for only battle regimens or weapon skill i never said those were bad ideas

We don't want our weapons emitting ANYTHING. That stuff is what we're against, too. Dude, just drop it.

The aesthetics of Final Fantasy never dictated that we have particle emitters or glows on our weapons unless it's ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NECESSARY to telling the story.

And it isn't necessary now, and it will never be necessary.

End of discussion.

Eh. I still don't like the idea of it. Maybe as a glowmap for the materia object itself, that would be acceptable, but I imagine that will require making new model variations of every weapon known in XIV to be able to present that.

So I doubt any glow will actually be added, if at all. Maybe a glowmap on the edges of the weapon...who knows, but I still think glows and any other extraneous graphical elements should not be utilized.

Also, I'm sure there's a LOT of content that Yoshi-P is intentionally holding back behind those floodgates, for an expansion. There are a lot of zones that have been hinted at, but not revealed. One of those is Ishgard.

Edges idk man how would that look on a spear either way i'm just asking for some type graphical add-on when we argument an element on the weapon
