Anyone else think that the bozja relics look lazy?

[MPK]

I know that a lot of the developer resources were shifted towards Male Vieras and the devs probably cut developer time on these items for male Vieras, but this is just sad.

I personally won't get any of these myself since I have ultimate weapons, but I feel bad for people who spent time to get these.

Where's the glow? It looks like they just threw spikes on the relics and called it a day.

The SMN/SCH look like literally any other generic book with spikes on it.

Even the primal weapons look way better than any of these ones.

I guess it make sense that the devs didn't focus on making these look good since there's probably more legends than people who have finished the most recent relic step before this patch.

They dont look good compared to previous iterations-- and I will only be getting one of them to complete the storyline; because most of them look bad with the effect they put on them.

Not impressed.

Why am I not surprised that you are putting the blame on male vieras yet we literally have no idea if any content was cut because of male viera and there is no reason to believe the weapons suffered for them.

I actually like the glow on its own, I don't like how it often doesn't match the weapons it is paired with, though, and the actual model design of a lot of the relics. They just feel... mediocre? Like they'd be crafted weapons in a previous expansion or trial weapons.

Also, this is the first expansion we won't get dyeable versions of the weathered relics... dissapointing, really, considering there were some really nice designs with those like Procyon and the Shadowbringer (Literally the sword in the trailer and it's not getting a dyeable version).

Trolll going to troll with that, but they may actually be more on the mark than usual with this one, depending on how compartmentalized the team is (or lack of being such), the people who do gear models may be doing armor and weapons, and armor may be needed to fit to Viera. Though with how big and bloated most teams tend to be in modern gamedev this is highly unlikely, as they would probably have a group of artists just for modeling and texturing weapons.

You're still responding to this dude?

Its the weird petal effect for me -- on some of the weapons it just looks outright weird and not fitting with the overall model. The MCH one comes to mind here.

For someone who professes to HATE Bozja...you sure do go on and on about it....are you really just tsundere towards it?

[Wolwosh]

It looks like some relics have more effort put into them than others. Some look nice like the WHM staff and then some like the Nin or Monk weapons look quite lazy [just like this post]
I'll just glam over them most likely

[Clicked]

I like most of them, personally. They're very different from past relics and the petal effects are an interesting touch. Just making something glow brightly does not make it look to me. In fact I think most of the past relic glows are garish and unsightly, whereas these are well tuned.

The relatable topic title. The use of "as you know" to sneak in an sourceless speculation as fact. The casual handwave of "btw i cleared ultimate". And the finishing cherry of "delubrum sucks".

This is actually a very well crafted troll bait topic, not the lazy bullshit you usually come up with. Upvoted.
