    Ultimate Weapons

    I think Ultimate Weapons look nice. I may be asking too much here, but is it possible to improve them even more visually?

    For example I would like unique effects per job. Even if it's simple its effective.
    Doesn't have to be every effect a job does just one or two notable skills. Using the ultimate weapons from The Epic of Alexander; when a dragoon uses Battle Litany instead of a blue expanding aoe it is an expanding clockwork effect, an astrologian placing their Earthly Star could be a clockwork effect ticking per second, or warrior Fell Cleaves are clockwork effects spinning fast, or samurai Midare are now limit cut swipe effects, or gunbreaker Blasting Zone is Alexander's Chastening Heat wave etc.

    I guess the same could go for the older ultimates, but I guess for development it would be better if they did this for the upcoming ultimates, I have no idea.
    Thoughts on a unique job skill effect from ultimate weapons?

    There's only so much effort they're willing to put into Ultimate Weapons since they're only ever going to be accessible to like ~1% of the overall game population. While it would be cool for them to put more effort into designing weapons for it, I doubt they'll ever do it.

    I'd love for them to repurpose some of the existing models in the game as mounts though, like riding on Cruise Chaser or Brute Justice.

    I've always wanted Yoshi and crew to allow custom weapons with different hilts, shafts, blades, glow, etc. That way you could create a unique ultimate weapon you've always imagined.

    Only 1% may bother to get it, but 100% can see it.

    OF is a meme and it's too grey to be helped. So I'm not going to try anymore.

    All of the Ultimate weapons are reskins of old weapons with the exception of the UWU SAM one I think.

    ? None of the Alex ultimate weapons are unique, they're all re-skins of previous weapons. GNB & DNC's are just more criticized since those two jobs have a far limited weapon pool to base a re-skin on; but their weapons are proper Alex weapons as they have the same glow & effect as the rest of them, whether you personally agree on the base model they chose out of like, <15 total.

    The ultimates look like crap, the gear effect for alexander is kinda cool though. But Ultimate weapons looks too “Shiva”y and Dislike the color choice for Bahamut. And the absolute disgrace that they chose a bland ass Sword for the gunblade ultimate.

    I think they're hideous. All-white is a terrible look - whether it's applied to home decor or an object to slice someone.
