Yes. These are the kinds of weapon designs I want in the game. More stylized versions of the "bland" weapons we have.
And that MRD weapon. I WANT IT. GORRAMIT.
I agree!! FFXIV should have "bland" stuff, but that doesn't mean it can't look awesome! That lance looks amazing, and WAY cooler than the ifrit lance.
Interesting, as far as where/when these weapons will be seen not sure- but aside from the lance both the Axe and Sword have traces of Ahriman-like wings upon them, although I'm sure this has been pointed out where ever you came across the original post~
There have been a lot of concept art and I'm sure they have a fair number of items they've designed that they have yet to introduce. When you fixing a game you don't want to roll out all your eggs before they ready for hatching. There were other types of bows, the trinity arrow etc etc. I bet some ideas were scrapped after balancing...and still others in the pondering stage. There's probably hundreds if not thousands of sketches like the ones you've posted.
I guess it just seems odd for me to be announced it would be coming then never show~ But then again, I work in the gaming industry so I honestly realize how much concept never makes it to production and finished product that never gets shipped... but then again YAY in 21st century we have DLC so it usually just get's pushed back to a later date. After working 8-10hours on an assets to have your producer come in and tell you that it's not getting shipped sucks. Just seems odd to me that it was announced publicly then nothing else said (or did I misunderstand and it was just found posted someplace with no content involving a release?)There have been a lot of concept art and I'm sure they have a fair number of items they've designed that they have yet to introduce.

To me these would make for decent crafted gear, pre-endgame or just before getting endgame gear. They are still just as bland as the current gear we have and I wouldn't be motivated to go for any of them unless they were pimped out in stats. They wouldn't stand out by design alone, and in fact we already have some gear that, to me, looks more appealing. I like alot of the Ifrit loot, especially the glow because it's far from overkill but enough to stand out when you go into active mode. Though some of the pieces do look abit 'off', it's a welcome change from the sea of blandness we currently have.
