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).
