Poor Designed Weapon's.

Don't some of you guys get that the weapons are like that because are from motherf*cking Ifrit?

They could have made them less i don't know less w/e they did to them i like them but i agree on both sides they look nice but not really fit with the game also.

Arent all items,equipment, and world designs in general done by Akihiko Yoshida first, then modeled by the rest of the team? If he designed the weapons, then i'd say they fit with the game. You may not like how they look, but they certainly fit in the context of being made directly from it's body.

Well when I say you, i dont mean you specifically...just people in general. Guess I should've be more specific

whats funny is the people who say the weapons dont fit in the game dont realize that this game aesthetically doesnt fit in with the entire franchise.

even the 2d era had its own intricate detailed beauty in both equipment and weapons.
so again, the weapons are fine, its everything else about the look of this game that makes it less Final Fantasy because its so much more subdued than the rest of the franchise.

FFXIV equipment and gear are even more colorless and bland than FFXI, FFXI is in general more bland than most of the rest of the franchise.
Why should this happen at all? is it because its an MMO that it for some reason needs to not look like the rest of Final Fantasy?
i didnt understand it when i started XI and i didnt understand it when i started XIV

Sometimes things can get....let's say chopy in the time between concept and creation. I personally think time was in extreme restraint in these items, the textures on them look stretched on some items, again it just looks like they took Ifirits model data and plastered it onto a allready created mesh in random areas.

Please consider those weapon drops from ifrit. When i saw them i thought they were made by a fanboy or somethig... Be creative SE look back on FF10 and FF tactics. I was so motivated when i saw the ifrit battle teaser. then when i saw the loot, I literally said WTF. same old ugly weapons with fire skin... Grrr. am done talking.

But I like them!

I am starting to wonder if these people that say they don't match with the art direction, got there hands on Garlean tech and appearances. We would have Eorzean Airships mass attacking us instead of the massive high fantasy/sci fi looking and feel airships and weapons that the Garlean's have. "but oh it fits in the lore because 50 years ago they got a tech revolution and thats why" so my rebuttal is, "Why can't Eorzea do the same thing?" I am sure in their world people are going wow Garlean tech is impressive we must start making High Fantasy/sci-fi weapons to combat them. Oh wait..... they already do... coughcoughgarlondironworkscoughcough. So expect in years to come we will start having unique Garlean looking things to fight with, but they aren't the a-typical eorzean weapon and armor.

Again I state if you think Ifrit's weapons are against art design then they in turn have to redo all of the Garlean Empire because they don't follow the same Eorzean art design.
