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.

There are other threads about this same argument still in the front page of the forums. You dont need to flood the forums with copies, it will not make your opinion more valid.

Aye, it is a problem that needs addressing. I'm glad it's getting the attention it deserves for the sake of the future of the game.

Should have posted in the original threads though.

But don't worry, it won't make it any less valid either.

Your crusade is futile.

The weapons look fine.

Just posted this in another thread about it, I feel it conveys at least my side of the argument pretty well:

The reason the Ifrit weapons do not fit the current style is because they come from a completely different source.

The continent of Eorzea generally has a type of style for gear creation. This is because the three city states cooperate and share a good deal of technology. These are the ways we know how to make things. A vast majority of our current gear is made by us so it has the Eorzean feel to it. This hasn't changed.

The Garlean Empire similarly has a particular aesthetic feel, most of their gear being red, black or silver and having a much more military look to it. Also they have a penchant for sticking guns in their weapons, something you would never see in an Eorzean style weapon thus far.

Then we have the Ifrit weapons. These weapons are born of gods, the Primals. As such they have (so far) reflected the look of the Primal they come from. The Ifrit weapons are comprised mostly of horns or rocky hide with a subtle ember glow, you can take one look at them and you know they came from Ifrit. These weapons convey the power of the creature they came from. They are the most unique of weapons because they came from a most unique source. My guess is that this trend will continue with the Primal fights, there will be Primal styled weapons.

Theyre items from a Primal. They are NOT crafted by players, therefore they should NOT look like weapons crafted by players.

It's this simple, and it is why we will not see a whole lot of fantasical items, because they will ONLY come from Encounters of this sort.

Edit: Arcell beat me to it. I don't understand why it is such a hard concept for others to understand.

They look fine to me.

Cant wait for Shiva weapons!
