More Interesting Dancer Weapons PLEASE!

[Wanzzo]

Another ideia came to me about this matter:

Did you ever watched "Rebels" animated star wars series show? At some point, we see a group of Inquisitors (a Sith-like ppl) using a dual-blade lightsaber, but it spins around a central circle not much different from the dancer weapons. We could have at least some variations of that in game (shorter laser parts or glowing stuff similar, i dunno...)

You said exactly what I think!!. also at least the Reaper weapon is big and visible and sage weapon can float, as someone from previous reply mentioned, some of the dancer weapon looks like some sort of body builders' weight plates.....

You should remember, that bunny people cannot wear hats right now. And you are asking for more broken aesthetics to be added to the game.

The first time I saw their weapons I remembered FFVIII Rinoa's weapon design. Maybe, it came from there? dunno...
Anyway, they should use weapons that are similar to that ribbon-like instrument at the Olympics, see?

During the dances, the ribbons form beautiful movements in the air and helps in the art of dance.

Current weapons are props practically unconnected with dance, in fact. They look more like mere weights that dancers must keep lifting. '-'

Ribbons would be nice—but I don’t know how they’d get them to work in terms of structure to make them not horribly stiff and clip through your character with every other movement. The ShB AF gear butt ribbons already do that with certain poses if you pause /gpose in the right spot.


I’d personally like to see fans as a weapon for the job. I think they’d fit aesthetically when I consider what the DNC AF gear looks like. So far, the only weapons I’ve found that I like are Titania’s weapons from her EX trial. Even the TEA and new DRU weapons aren’t that stellar—DRU is at least better than TEA, because why they picked the ugliest model for the TEA weapon I have no idea. The first glowing stage of the ShB relic was also nice.

True!

I didn't thought about that '-'

It would be a mess after a while xD
But, a beautiful mess. Especially if the ribbons leaves a glowing trail like some DRK weaponskills.

Is that the Laws Order one? I think that one was my favourite out of all the DNC weapons we've received to date

I have found some examples of how they can jazz it up a bit without changing too much on the current design!! these looks so much cooler....what do you guys think?

I wouldn't mind something like the second, the first just isn't practical really

yes, but its just some idea ffxiv can explore....maybe with blade in fans....there is a move called fan dance even, so why not fans....

Huh, so I wasn't the only one thinking about Dynasty Warriors when I saw this thread. Weird how you didn't insert Sun Shang Xiang though.
