Finally some good looking "Fantasy" weapons!!! (Except pugs... it kinda irks me o.O) ... This is exactly what we need to liven up the game^^ Most equipment is really bland atm :P

I think what I was trying to say is that I wasted so much time in Lineage 2 and AION that I really do not want to revisit those memories, even indirectly.
They're supposed to be "bland". What I'd like to see is how Square Enix could push that "bland" envelope without crossing into the garishly stupid.
Then youre lucky cause you play FFXIV
I would honestly expect nothing less from weapons obtained from essentially the God of Fire. The weapons glow like an ember, that's pretty tame IMO. The only other way to really convey fire would be to physically set the weapons ablaze, I think this is the better approach. If the effects were any more subtle then they would be quite dim and would just essentially be black weapons.
Honestly if you don't like the direction the game is taking that much, it may just be time to cut your losses and call it quits. This is the way things are going, it's not going to stop.
The current equipment is far too bland for my tastes. I always justified it as being the base equipment and essentially just what they're throwing at us until the cool stuff comes up. I was pretty disappointed with Flametongue being just a normal sword, it should have had some kind of indication of its namesake, you know like how it is traditionally in FF. Excusing the current gear's bland look as "artistic direction" is a pretty lame excuse. The gear we have now is recycled over and over and occasionally changed slightly. Going back to Flametongue, it's just a slightly modified version of another sword we currently have.
The game needs more unique looking gear, and if that means the weapons from the God of Fire have an ember glow, I'm okay with that. The weapons should convey the power and look of the boss they come from.
Say what you like about the PUG weapons, but those things are gonna hurt when you punch something in the face with them, like spikey knuckle-dusters baby!![]()
Glowing weapons! Oh my how we have been starstruck~
Personally don't mind, and no, I don't think this goes against the class or previous style. Top tier gear should be distinguishable which (in the case this is which I'm assuming this will replace current weapons) I don't see the problem in a stand out piece- that is if it really does become the trump all weapon for now. Always nice to afk in Ul'dah with![]()
+ with a piece like this I can only assume how fun/difficult this battle is going to be <3
LoL someone actually stated the armor and weapons are SUPPOSE to be bland?! ...Wow that's ... oh it's Ren... nvm then xD
Gotta love all the silly arguments against making a final fantasy game ... into a final fantasy game *facepalm* It's sad how many people haven't obviously even played other entries into the series and/or are expecting the game NOT to be turned into one! Tanaka may have wanted a totally different game with very few weak FF elements, but it's known Yoshi is a huge FF fan who wants to make the game into one... Some of you people are just... yuck ... spend less time on the forums and go spend time on other FF games! Maybe you'll actually know what people are talking about in the forums here lol
