Not Sure if a Bug: The New WAR Relic Upgrade

[Neri]

DRK at least looks modestly cool. I still feel like the design is lazy, but less so than the NIN and WAR. DRK at least resembles something, even if that "Something" is all just re-used assets. NIN and WAR meanwhile not only look even lazier, but boring besides. WAR is just this dinky little Labrys with some flame-effects, like a cheapened version of the old Zeta. It's really pathetic when you compare it to the new PLD Anima. And then the NIN just looks like... a plain pair of daggers with a glow. The glow doesn't even add to the look like all the other weapons, even WAR. It's just... a glow.

Nin's weapon = lv15 1 hand sword called Bronze Spatha with glowing runes, lol. You can have a look at the market board. Just hope the final stage's glowing light will be bright enough to cover the weapon's shape.

Side note, is there anything written about the WAR relic on the Japanese /general forum? Google translate isn't the best. The Japanese forums typically receive more dev responses, so I'm curious if it has been a topic.

Another thing to note, the entire questline is about creating a weapon with a soul, a living weapon. The glow effect is representative of the soul, which is why the base weapon is so simplistic. The emphasis is on the glow effect, not the weapon itself.

Yes. And the WAR and NIN still got jipped because their glows are hardly pronounced or particularly visually striking.
And I maintain that DRK is kind of lazy too because its glow just looks like the silhouette of the Deathbringer.

And yet, as someone who has absolutely hated every single DRK anima weapon we've gotten so far, I love Cronus. Get over yourself, some of us like these weapons you think need changing.

And yet, as someone who has absolutely loved every single WAR relic we've gotten so far, I dislike Minos. Get over yourself, some of us don't like these weapons that you think are great.

(The argument can go both ways)

Except it doesn't at all. I'm not asking to take anything away from you. I'm just telling people to grow up and get over it, you don't have to like every stage of the anima and the anima doesn't need to be changed to suit you or anyone else. You have plenty of other options, you can survive one axe / twin blade you don't like.

To all those people who kept asking for WAR to be nerfed: hope you're happy now ¬_¬

I imagine you've summed up Square Enix's reaction to this thread, as well.

The MCH weapon might be the only one I never glamour. The glow actually looks amazing. Pld looks trashy and nin would look a lot better without the bloody glow.

if it me or square or this thread or all three. you giving the most generic crapiest answer of all time "grow up" and "get over it" is just stupid to say on a thread where obviously people care. i mean frikken hell you expect me to grind light again for something that looks like i couldve buaght it off a dam limsa vender you're crazy man. you got no answer for why its a crap lv 10 axe with some tiny glyphsand a glow from what im seeing just kinda falls off it? . if not for raid i swear id pick up brd in a heart beat. that one is just majestic all of them sep nin they kinda shat on nin too. but for real wth did you expect to get with answers like that. applauds?
