    I don't understand this inconsistency talk. It's the first loot of the first primal fight. Of course there's nothing like it in game already, hence they stand out.

    I really like the design.

    Keep going, Yoshi and gang! Don't let the negativity get to you!

    I think this upsets many of the same players who dislike a lot if the music in XIV as well and those who frequently compare it to XI.

    XI had more orchestrated tracks and more appropriate armor designs than many other main title FINAL FANTASY titles. Many FINAL FANTASY titles had armor that didn't actually appear on your character or change the appearance and often characters were dressed in very unusual anime or other inspired outfits much of which wouldn't be considered armor for their settings. I'm not stating that this is a problem, this is just how it was.

    XI on the other hand had many more types of "armors." Leather, Scale, Metal, Plate, Cloth, etc. With what little realism you can garner from a FINAL FANTASY title, XI had more typical medieval and low fantasy inpired duds and designs to match it's version of fantasy and old world architectures, world and lore.

    XIV brought back composer Nobou Uematsu, and while there are orchestrated pieces, there are many pieces which use Electric Guitar and Synthesizer reminiscent of many PlayStation era FINAL FANTASY titles. I feel some want a game that has low/medium fantasy settings or designs and are worried that XIV might deviate too much into looking something like Sphera with a bunch of glowing football players running around jumping about.

    These are possibilities. As it is now, the direction though personally doesn't really upset me. As the patches are released and our reactions and thoughts materialize I just hope they continue to listen and make decisions fairly and carefully to ensure that XI veterans, casual MMO players, hardcore MMO players and those new to the genre aren't ignored and pushed away from the product.

    Let me say that I loved most aspects of XI, from the music to the armor and weapons designs, and most things between. It's my all-time favorite MMO, even though they wrecked it recently.

    However, I'm also a fan of the current flow that XIV is picking up, and this is mostly because I'm a fan of the entire series.

    The giant, unconventional but powerful looking weapons.
    Impossibly intricate, dead-heavy/paper-thin armors.
    Gigantic magical explosions and immortal deity figures that mortals can fight and overcome somehow.

    All of these things make the FF series what it is, and even those of us(most at least) who would walk around with a badge proclaiming our love for XI will agree that this falls well into the fantasy realm. It's different in design, but the same in concept. It's how FF is and always will be, and the real fans of the series know this.

    Those four or five people complaining aren't the entire XI to XIV community. True FF fans, no matter what the last FF game they played, could probably name several weapons from several different series that were impossibly cumbersome, but at the same time, ridiculously awesome. That's how I feel about the Ifrit weapons.

    Be happy they are not more of the same. I welcome new designs in any form, no more boring plain-jane weapons/armor please.

    I agree with this.

    New designs, especially ones that are based off of a freakin PRIMAL *should* stand out, be unique and badass, and have a sense of really strong power about them. (I think the only ones that are odd are the PUG and THM weapons, but I'm not about to complain against them)

    This game needs more stuff like this!

    Fool!

    He's a game designer! He knows what hes talking about, how dare you mortals question his resolve!? His legend goes back to the twelfth century. Naturally these weapons are hideous! Fool! We should reject this game by not paying for it anymore! They should pay us! Fool!

    I think that people have grown a little too power hungry with the forum if they can't even stand having a set of weapons they don't like in the game. Because every piece in every mmo should be liked by everyone? There will be pieces you don't like in w/e game you play get over it. Just sayin', nothing you said was bad (to OP) and it was respectful, but you can't go about trying to change everything people don't like about the game. Its still just a fraction of people. I hate my playstation move thm weapon, I'm not trying to petition against it. Its not a tyrannical dictatorship, but in no way should this forum be a democracy.

    Really? A Thread to remove a weapon design? How dare SE give you options! If you don't like them don't get them. Make your own, equally powerful, HQ+3 materia weapon instead.
