Ifrit Fight

[Holy_Dragoon]

Now why isn't IGN and other site reporting news on the Ifrit Battle hmm? If that video alone can sell the game to people, I think it's more news worthy than the cheap shot after mentioning the Chocobos and Airships.

Wait, its IGN, which I only started reading after Gamespot went down the crapper. Sigh, I need to find a new gaming news site.

Well, now HCs might be rejoicing. Big shiny weapons to stay in active mode in Ul'dah. I must agree with some comments regarding them looking more like korean MMO stuff than FF weapons. Now the next step is making weapons having some kind of aura based on tier...+1 pops green smoke, +2 are blazing and +3 have a fallic image flying above the player and pooping glitter!

I think you're over-reacting a bit here. They have a subtle ember glow on certain parts. It's not like they can guide offshore ships to land or anything. Also FF games have had some pretty obnoxious looking weapons in the past, it's not like everything needs to be super realistic and bland looking.

Use wikipedia, that's what I use when I want to know something about a game. They give much more in-depth information about video games than any game review website

I am pretty sure just looking at those confirms that FF has had weapons like this before...

As pretty as these are, ultimately they're materia fodder.

I think any weapons that incorporate parts of Ifrit are gonna look a bit Korean MMO a little and i do think some of them look a bit 'fat' (talking to you Ifrit's Bow).
The lance and halberd look really nice. Glowing weapons were a big demand around 6 months ago so i don't know why people are surprised that we are getting them now (since it has been said it can take 6 months to make a set of gear or weapons).

There's nothing 'korean mmo' about them, korean mmo art style was based on korean anime style which in turn was copied from japanese anime style. If anything, korean weaponry designs are all copies of japanese mmo's!

Geez, peeps need to learn a bit of anime history.

Axe *drool*

I like most of them. The bow I have slight concerns with, it looks slightly odd, and the Pugalist weapons are down right ugly, but the rest: can I have them now please?

[Kraggy]

It's not like the weapons glow for no reason. They're made from the horns of Ifrit. I'd say that's a justifiable reason for a little flair on a hardmode reward.

Some people just can't be happy with anything.

Glowing weapons I can take, even in an FF, if done tastefully .. these weapons are anything but tasteful when it come to their hugely exaggerated size, they're completely implausible as weapons, especially the Pugilist's. The designs are fine, more or less (though the bow is a bit OTT) but their size is appalling.

They'd not look out of place in WOW, and that's a terrible thing to say about an item from FF.
