    Will square enix ever make weapon based skills?

    Hi guys so during the downtime on the servers I started wondering, Will we ever see weapon based skills from high level weapons? or end game weapons? example: In ff11 Excalibur gave the wielder the weapon skill: knights of the round. I honestly think It would be awesome to grind for a badass weapon that gave off a distinct skill or did crazy damage, Kinda shows the hardcore from the softcore players my personal opinion of course. So yeah guys comment up, tell me what you think.

    P.S. please no bashing just a fun thread

    I think SCH's LB3, Angelic Feather, really based by Last Resort Zeta's weapon effect.

    That was something that was really neat about ffxi. You aren't the only person that has mentioned wanting that.
    I think it's a great idea too.

    I'm sure it's on SE's list of stuff they want to try. I'd imagine it's one of the harder things to balance. Imagine you have a great sword that gives you a strong skill, but then suddenly another boss kill gives you a stronger sword, but it has a gimp ability.
    So like, you'd have to decide to take items based on abilities AND their stats, etc.

    People already get mad for people trying out weird combos of gear. Just think of all that drama this would cause.

    "I'm using my lvl60 sword cause it has a skill I like. It doesn't matter I'm level 80 now. I'm white knight of justice, I will tank as I please" (Tank immediately dies to a lvl80 rabbit because of insufficient vitality given by poor choice of gear)

    We'd need more (and probably longer lasting) weapons for that to be interesting, I think.

    Typically we only have 2 or 3 ilvl-relevant weapons for a job at a given time.
    e.g. Eso + Gordian right now
    Dreadwyrm + Poetic + Relic during FCoB
    High Allagan + Soldiery + Relic during SCoB

    Yes I want it, but have it only change the animation of pre-existing skills. Like a special moogle rod popping out happy moogles whenever you heal someone or something.

    Most likely never going to be a feature. Such weapons would contribute to raid exclusiveness, where encounters are designed taking said special ws's into account, and players being barred from raiding because they don't have said weapon.

    Anyone remember moogle fist weapons in 1.0 having stars and exclamation effects coming out of the point of impact?

    Oh yea, my legacy 1.0 friend mentioned that. Didn't all the moogle weapon's animations get nerfed? /sadface Like they told me the pld sword's moogle face made expressions and blinked and stuff. He's like a little statue now but the wings wiggle atleast.

    PS3 limitations?

    Maybe they will include this with the 3.1 relics? just plan on making it so those relic weapons will stick around for longer and when new classes are added their version of the relic weapon quest is easier up until the current peak. so like if we got a new class when the new relic weapons were at five evolutions and they were getting evolution six and seven the new classes relic would follow the same path with reduced requirements up until it reached five, and then would have the same requirments to reach six and seven.

    I think the only way this would work is once you have acquired said Skill is then you have it for life, as Cheire mentioned once you get a better weapon that dose not have the skill any more you will have people like "but I like this skill" And other reason also Cheire Mentioned and let's not forget if they do add it to relic not all people will have as a few people don't enjoy the relic quest.
