Petition Against Ifrit Weapon Designs

[Geesus]

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.

Then go back to FFXI which I also played for several years. Get off your high horse.

Wow, i'm off a few days and that suddenly makes me wrong? The vid was posted 14 hours ago and the patch is Oct 4th then. Its the final deal man.

I'm on no high horse. This is a forum, people are asking questions and putting their thoughts in. I defend my position because this is what you do during discussions. I asked for them, they are coming but mixed in with crap (complaining of whining and other stuff unrelated? I asked opinions on weapons)

Yeah, the FF series has always been known for it's realistic-looking weapons.

Um.

Not so much.

The current designs are no wilder than what's been in the series for years.

That's a giant normal looking sword. Its not on fire or glowing or leaking anything. I don't see what is so outrageous with Clouds weapon?

Do you know anything about swords at all? That sword would easily weigh twice or three times what Cloud weighs. He wouldn't be able to pick it up. And even if he could, he wouldn't have the leverage to use the sword effectively, if at all. It would actually make an extremely poor weapon.

That's worse than a sword being on fire or dripping acid. It makes no logical sense at all; even if he was super-strong, physics still exist. So, I think it's entirely fair to say that ideas about what would or wouldn't be realistic looking have been abandoned by this series long, long ago.

Why don't you just give it a go in-game and see if you like it or not? Also, there are many new swords being added in the new update and the Materia system will allow you to pimp one of those out to your heart's extent, more powerful than any of these drops. Let those of us who like the style enjoy it, and focus on what YOU like... rather than slagging the devs and calling it 'poor design,' based on nothing more than your opinion really.

I think the dagger for Thaumaturge is the coolest of all of them. Looks awesome with the blue gem on the end.

Ifrit weapons are fine, IMO. The PGL and THM weapons look a little odd, but they're still fine.

Thank you Rentahamster. More Posts like this please.

meant this " However there is a responsibility especially with MMOs that there is a general need to have items at least be agreeable by majority. These fall out of that general area."

they don't fall out of the general area, as it would seem a majority of players actually approve of them, that's all i'm saying

[Xionraserei]

Oh, I see. I happen to disagree with you Rath based on who I have talked to but I can see your side too. (response to your first post not 2nd.)

2nd post: I can say I think FF7 is based on more of a real world like ours as far as physics. that's my opinion though. of course materia isn't part of our world but other things seems to similar.

Although the PUG weapon looks a bit odd (and is a bit too big) This is how Hand to Hand weapons normally look... So Not much to say there.

The THM weapon just looks odd.. It doesn't look much like a wand, but more so like a dagger.

That bow, needs to be slightly more elegant, skinnier/smaller/lighter etc but with all the decoration and glowiness of course. Being an archer is about speed, agility and accuracy and I can't help but feel that even though the weapon looks great it probably shouldn't function better than that 35NM drop bow.

Anyway, still love them... Even if they don't change it maybe they consider some of the feedback for future weapons.
