Poor Designed Weapon's.

[Dreadnought]

I highly doubt that these weapons took long or much effort to make, I still think it just looks like they lopped off ifrits horns from his .dat and merged them with existing meshes.

i kind of wonder this as a FFXI modder.
Yoshi himself said it takes 6 months to create one set of armor. this is absurd to me because meshes can be copy and pasted and textures shouldnt take long at all to create.
it led me to believe that this time includes every process from market planning to actual implementation and not just the modeling.
