Petition Against Ifrit Weapon Designs

[Jabo]

It is a nay from me too.

I don't think the design is bad. It's just a "bit too much".

btw
Equipment design is one of the main reasons i play this game and not WoW or Aion and i think a lot of people think so too.

Jabo I agree. Image is important man.

Sephrick i can see excitement from them being his horns but if u look at PGL item, they are so much smaller horns than other items. PGL weapon still can't be his horn. They are too small. It is inconsistencies that I don't approve of. If it doesn't work they shouldn't force it.

I dont love the pugilist design, but there is nothing wrong with the designs perse, and departing from realism is fine.

Departing too much hurts the image of the product however some of them are decent looking. The LNC item would be my favorite because it at least has a figure to it and some newly shaped metal.

If I could have one wish.

Xionraserei? Than I have a question for you. As a designer, you also should know that just because something was shown doesn't mean that those items or things or w/e will be the ACTUAL AND final desing. Correct? So why your post maybe be legitimate in your eyes and some others, Cycloptichorn and others have their own opinons to express how they wish. It has nothing to do with your "title" per sae but if you ask for the opinoins, you will get some. Just like when other people may start their own thread of disgust about something you may yourself may not agree with, you give your 2 cents and THAT OP may feel you are trolling their thread.

Now, with that said; my LS mates and my self, that's 40+ people agree the items are freaking cool as hell. Some are a bit okish...not my faves but the idea of them is quite cool. As for your worry as far as the size, I'm sure more played into that video than what you saw. Could have been dozens of things like poor video or what have you that COULD HAVE not saying definately but COULD have given the illusion of the weapsons being larger than they were. Example you say? Ok, here's one; if you pan out from your PC and pan the camera at certain angels, you get a distored reality of the size of your gear and weaps. TADA!!!!!

Your point has been noted and since you are a designer, you won't get anymore postive feeback than what you have already gotten. Take it for what it is and move on. The only reason this thread has as much clout as it does currently is because you will continue to argue your point with those who are 1) Tired of the bitching about every GD thing that SE and the Devs try to do and 2) because a small portion agree with you. Want to get a better and possibly more realistic response; post a poll. Than you give everyone the option of yes or no or don't care and BAM, issue resolved. No trolling no BS.

I believe that video shows a final product. It was posted more recently and that update is tomorrow.
If it was a month ago I wouldn't be doing this.

I understand scale and proportion to the character and I made my size comments based on that since they are shown with characters. I feel like my comment is right on that. The video quality is undistorted and 720p. I disagree with your illusion comment also. These are not taken by a camera shooting a monitor. They are direct from screen capture.

You missed the entire point. I didn't SAY they were taken with a video camera of a monitor. Also, incase you have not been KEPT UP TO DATE, the patch comes out on the 4th. Get your facts straight before you continue to blast OTHER people's OPINIONS as you DID ASK for them or do I need to go back to page one and quote you sir?

OP,
What made you say that they seem out of place for FF series? I am curious.
I personally think they are a bit bulky, but they do look cool. I don't think they really are out of place since FFXIV is evolving. They can't use the same ideas every time or we get bored.

I am interested in seeing new types of armour, gear, new mobs, new everything. It's a fantasy game, so let them imagine new things.

I think they look out of place because weapons as such have been a staple in games like World Of Warcraft, Aion, and Several other games which I believe are of lesser quality and unsophisticated. They most often rely on cleavage and giant flashy weapons to attract a player base (My Opinion).

As said previously, FFXI has been adding new weapons and armor since 2002 and I have not had a single weapon in that game where I thought it was ugly or too much out of place.
