Lol true enough.
I'd prefer FF to keep to it's roots rather than try to sit around a realistic idealism.
If giant monsters start appearing and trying to chew my face off, I don't want to be taking them on with a copper sword, I want to be stabbing them with something that looks like satan himself forged it from the fires of his own oven.
Players asked for glowing weapons: check
Players asked for not over the top glowing weapons with fire bursting all over: check
Players asked for no glowing weapons while in cities because it's not immersive(in town most players in passive): check
Players wanted new designs instead of re-skinned weapons: check
Players still complaining how it's too much or too different: check
Players complaining how it's not realistic: check
Players complaining how it's not Final Fantasy: ...I don't even...
Players complaining about how it's too Korean: check
FFXIV devs, I would just like to apologize for how ridiculous some players are. They will never be happy no matter what you give them. They will always complain about stupid s*** and will never be satisfied no matter what direction you take.
P.S. GJ love the designs. The only one that's questionable is the Thm scepter with it's blue balls.![]()
Only issue I have with the weapons is for most of them it looks like a conversation happened.
Dev1: We need Ifirit battle loot! but what will it look like?
Dev2: Ifirit has horns right? We make weapons out of horns all the time!
Dev1: Great! Now lets just slam horns on everything and call it a day.
I don't mind the look of them or the glow, I just find it strange that every item just looks like they merged Ifirit .dat data into a weapon.

I don't like the weapons. They seem... gaudy. I like to run as a PUG, but I wouldn't use that weapon unless it had some amazing stats. Reminds me of the Monster Hunter games. Great franchise, but I don't feel that weapons like that fit well into this game. Looks like big chunks of a mob we kill and turn into a weapon. The glowing is nice for the "epicness" but I think they are a little too big. They look kind of blunt and soft too. Overall I am not dissapointed because the fight with Ifrit looks amazing in the video. Either way, I feel that SE is delivering well. I just don't like those weapons. :/
I have never played FFXI, so I cannot compare these weapons to anything from there. I have however played every FF console game. this is my first MMO, so maybe these designs are to be expected?

IT does't change the fact that the Bow and Knucks look completely ridiculous. The bow could have been made to have the fire and glow without like those wielding it should be falling forward from the weight.
All the other weapons look fine, even the gladiator sword. Where's my flaming fishing rod?
Makes Batraal look like a pussy, Ifrit will kill us all!!!
Maybe if they made the bow a bit smaller... BUT SET THE BOW STRING ON FIRE!!!! >:-D
