    I wouldn't expect anything less from weapons from the Gods of Beastmen. It is a nice way to add effects of the creature they come from, glowing and looks like they have magma inside is amazing. I expect later primal's weapons to look very unique as well, like Shiva may have ice weapons and Ramuh or whoever they use for lightning will have a lightning effect on weapons. I am just happy they are reskinned weapons.

    I would have preferred they had gone with a much MORE subtle glow, instead of it being bright as a god's flame.

    Plus, the very fact that the weapons suggest that they came DIRECTLY from Ifrit's body, suggests that they killed him.

    I don't mean like "avatar kill", but I mean, LITERALLY killed him and ripped those things from his corpse.

    Garlemald would be proud.

    First considering Ifrit is a god, it should be as bright as a god's flame... that is just ironic statement in and of itself.

    Second maybe he gifts part of himself to us as we have proven our worth to him as well? We won't know till we experience the CS's first hand.

    You're missing the point. These weapons COMPLETELY break with the art direction that Square Enix had set forth for Final Fantasy XIV up to this point.

    Because of this, we can expect more stupidly retarded weapon designs that make no basis in a "low fantasy" setting like Final Fantasy XIV/XI.

    Please, tell me an example of a weapon in FFXI/FF12/Ivalice that have such absurd designs.
