Artifact Armors!

Just a note that I spotted on the hi-res pic guys:

The dude in the evil armor seens to be wielding a scythe and not a lance :P

I tried to outline what I think I see, but I may as well be wrong:

(may as well be part of the lance design above the blade, or some part of his armor/raised leg, but based by the early designs it could be.

I dont know it doesnt make much sense to me for him to be in that pose with his hand so far down the weapon's shaft if that is a scythe.

We won't know for certain until they release the goddamn mag. When is this thing due out?! Next week, right? If so, someone needs to get on that, stat.

don't be so sure, a scythe is a sweeping weapon, take into account dramatic promo art posing, and it's quite logical to believe he's 'reaping'.

Actually, look at the color of the pole and the color of the supposed scythe blade. They are different. And if you look past where his lower arm is, you'll notice that he has a knee up. That blade may be part of the shin armor. Or it might not. Dunno.

I think you may be right, Used my photo viewer to blow up the picture and all the angle connect in a way that makes a very clearly defined scythe.

Ok I just did some research on FFXI about artifact armors. They were designed to give people the classic looks of the jobs. So, my question is when I get my artifact armor for my job did u ever need to upgrade in FFXI? Were they always the best? Did it kill gear progression? HOw did artifact armors fit into the grand scheme of things in terms of gear progression?

They were all level 50-60 armors.

Most people didn't equip entire sets, just the best pieces.

They were replaced later by AF2 armor from dynamis, which was for the most part palette swapped versions of the other gear.

they were often the most job centered gear available, and the first time around the best for their level. they eventually added upgrades to them, and a different set, that had different bonuses. Overall they didnt destroy gear progression on most classes, because they had gear swapping in combat, and they were specialized into boosting job abilities/stats/roles. Since some job abilities/traits/roles/stats werent necessarily highly focused on one specialty, some of them were considered to be vanity peices.

For example, while you may like a crown that gives you 5 mind (mdef and boost to spiritual dmg skill) and a boost to ACC when you use a specific monk job skill, most people overall rather have a haste headpeice, or one that reduces your dmg recieved.

Of course ffxi was a very different game, and gear progression was extremely horizontal as the game progressed, so it only tells you so much about this game.
