[Request] Make HNM weapons worth it!

[Zantetsuken]

I personally find this very annoying. These weapons should be the best in the game(with materia applied).

This should only apply to crafted HNM items. Regular NM drops are fine the way they are. Regular U/U are more powerful than non-materia armour and that the way it should be. But Weapons and Armour that requires a re rare drop to be crafted should be the best in the game.

I totally agree with this.

IMHO, Nearly ALL dungeon/NM drops should be special materials, and not full weapons or gear -- unless there is a logical reason for the mob to carry the weapon (ie. you kill Gilgamesh and get one of his swords or a piece of Genji armor) or it comes from a chest/coffer.

In my perfect world, Ifrit would never have dropped weapons, only a horn (mabye 30% chance of 1 per fight, 30% chance of a 2nd if head incap). Horns could then be crafted into weapons and the weapons could be meldable. It really makes more sense when you think about it.

But Yoshi-P likes the idea of non-craftable (U/U) weapons and this leads to all sorts of balance issues when measured up against materia. I hope they get it sorted out by the time 2.0 comes around.

But melding U/U stuff is not something I support.
