    It's seriously time. Can we start a petition against the handles on MNK weapons?

    This has been bothering me since my original pair of Sphairai.
    Can we stop with the design of making super huge monk weapons that are clearly designed to fit to a person's hands, yet instead of having our hands slot into the weapons, we hold a stupid little handle at the bottom of it?

    This is so nitpicky, but it's so ugly. Take Kaiser Knuckles Zeta. It's a claw weapon, it has the claws, it also has a hand portion. You would think there'd be something you fit your hand into under the "hand" of the weapon, maybe a handle at the front you grab onto for extra control. But no, there's just a lonesome handle at the bottom, so that you're in fact holding a larger hand with your hand. It looks dumb.

    #Hands>ClawsNotHands>Hands>Claws

    Yes please, the handles irritate the hell out of me. Your hands should be seated farther up in the weapons.

    Amen.

    I can't remember all the times I've mentioned how PGL/MNK weapons were disgusting in design so much that I refuse to play the role despite it being a pretty cool class.

    That's what glamor is for, find a weapon you like the look of, and use that...

    I have to wonder how our characters would even hold these things straight? They should be a-floppin up and down
    And yes, of all the things in the game this is where I'm drawing the line for suspension of disbelief. Fight me about it.

    They are straight because that's how strong the steel is to make them . If they flopped up and down then they wouldn't be very strong would they?

    Also OP, if you want to get them changed why not draw how the models could hold the new monk weapons? It's all well and good to complain but it takes dev time to do something like this. Personally I would like that dev time allocated to actual content, but if you take the hard work and show the devs how they can animated it the way you want it animated it may take less time.
