Primal Battle, Ifrit Loot

[Misha]

over stylised fantasy like fighting big flaming monsters...asking for realism when you got a conj throwing lightning and fire spells around is a bit contradictory. While i do agree that they dont have do go down the route you talk about I dont think these new weapons look OTT apart from the bow maybe, the game sorely needed some eye candy as it was lacking in weapons that had the "dam i gota have that" factor.

Don't forget all the gunblade weapons and empire ships that look straight outta war of the worlds and all that other "Final Fantasy" like stuff >.< Ya these weapons don't belong in Final Fantasy game at all *sarcasm* lmao... 1.19 really does look like the start of making the game feel like a real FF, and more stuff keeps piling up Can't wait! Good news is though, most the people complaining will get over it a week or less after its released like alot of the other stuff when first announced lmao Quest markers, agro icons, instance timers, party size reductions, could go on forever... Thank god the dev team is smarter than that though and doesn't listen to these people

It's not that you get over them, they do look bad to some people, I still hope for a toggle so I can hide those quest markers and have them only show on the mini map.
I just feel that once you have made you opinion clear, within a week or so of comments dev's tend to decide if it goes on the to do later list or not.

I'm aware this would never happen, But I would love to see a toggle to replace Silly wow like weapons/armour and replace it with the current style or a style more FF like (imo) close to what we have now.

I'm ok with the effect on the weapon, ok I didn't want and still don't want glowing stuff, but clearly were getting it, but its not as bad as it could have been.
Its the size/shape of the weapons i have issue with, they are just chunky and meh, the weapons on that magazine cover look 100x better.
An look back over recent/older FF games and you can see much better designs that are much more Fantasy then those that would actually fit in with the current world.

edit:
oh and the Empire stuff looks great imo, same style just more advanced then us.

what's with all those un-classy & glowing hate comments?

I have expressed why I feel the way I feel when I see item design like that. Is it hate to disagree with something and explain your reasoning behind it? OK, then I am a hater of the new style they used to design these weapons.

Personally I don't see why they are giving up on the style we have had throughout the last year. No, we don't need to have "the same old boring thing". But we also don't need to have mega-big items that look crazy, and have all these crazy glowing effects on them. Why not make it subtle? Why not try to make the item look cool without over-sizing it?

I was a fan of the good and cool looking items that didn't jump on the big and shiny bandwagon. Just my personal taste though, and I can see it will be phased out pretty fast when the new gear starts to look like this.

this is a final fantasy game, and as such it pretty much deserves weapons like those shown in the video.
im stunned by the effect those weapons have on some.
what's next, chocobos being to unreal? need moar horse like mounts?
seriously, some people don't get the "fantasy" part in final fantasy.
i'm not asking for huge burning 2-hand swords that cover the area in 2km distance with a glowing effect, but atleast some "fantasy" is surely not gonna hurt anybody.
hate on

Its that they don't look good, not that they look fantasy.
As I've said, the weapons from well most of the FF games I love, Especially VIII/XII/XIII..

The effect is nice, But the ARC/PUG weapons look far to chunky and OTT, they don't look stylish/effective they just look Big and meh...
lots of games have a much more fantasy look to the weapons then those, but they look a lot better imo.
They look like they could be used easily and well for there Job, and fit with the look of the game.

It's a mute point really, some are happy with the weapons some aren't..
They will keep going that way with the armour/weapons or they will get better.
Personally one of the Good parts of this game looks to be going out the window, its not enough that I want to leave, but it could head that way, I'll just have to wait and see.

The look great to me, only the bow looks overdone, and thats just because of size. Lance and axe look best imho

But i REALLY like the glow effect, it doesnt steam outward and drip and haze..... Thank god. That gets really annoying to look at.

I enjoy that soft red glow.

Those H2H weapons look strangely familiar...... As if I gained them before in a certain korean beta test of a game..

Seriously if someone doesnt like them, let them be. Its like a kids playground in these forums.

I like them, i was bored of the bland-non creative weapons so this is a good change.

tbh I liked the New Weapons and all. Just that It'd look better(for me) If they resized the PGL and ARC weapon a little. The weapon that looked weirdest to me was that THM wand lol, what's with that Blue sphere? xP

I didn't see any shield in the loot so that means we ain't getting any? :< and here I thought a Flame Shield would look very cool!

[EdenArchangel]

Can someone explain the blue sphere on THM weapon? Is it a playstation move remote? lol...

Looks like the weapon designers from World of Warcraft found a new job.

Wonder when we'll see volcano shoulder pads and meteorite helmets.
