Weapon design contest winners is out!

[Wanzzo]

The designer of MCH winner posted a thread on twitter of their submissions for every job using that white ceramic theme based off of Portuguese Azulejo ceramic paintings, and I'm a little be in love with every single one, especially with the concept of images of each appropriate city-state.

He is very talented indeed!!

I'm fairly confident in asserting that the joke weapons series would be inserted in 1 of two places:
either purchase with mgp at the gold saucer or buy with trophy crystals in the wolves' den

after thinking about the odds of us getting blitzball in the gold saucer, I think there's a high chance these joke weapons will be from ocean fishing (something i've still yet to try)

Congrats to all! I think many of the finalists were beautiful. I love the artist's palette and the monk carrot ones!
Sounds a bit sappy but I cried a little bc I was a finalist. Never had any of my art displayed and noticed on this scale before.
I think my inexperience with weapon designs kind of held me back since I mostly stick to people.

this was mine! I wish I woulda had more time to add more to each, bc I felt the time given for the contest was too short.

I love these- congrats on getting Finalist ^^
I'd love to see your AST design implemented

also time to lvl monk

AKA: when you punch softly :3

I can confidently make a 100% assertion that joke weapons for battle jobs will absolutely not come from the Fisher exclusive activity of ocean fishing

lol i like that doh

also now makes me wonder how many Death Note entries they got for smn/sch

[Rayne6665]

ooof that is kinda derpy in retrospect

contest was announced back in august of last year before reaper and sage were in game but after they were announced
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...b062ef55d8a09/
they didn't include templates for either in the original contest

but yah it would be really derpy if every job except RPR and SGE got joke weapons

hopefully SE will make them as well and use other entries as inspiration similar to how when they did armor design contests the winners for one role and then they made the other role sets based on the winning entry

Ah right. I forgot those two classes wasn’t out yet that makes sense mb ^^’

According to the website, they're gonna do another design contest for SGE and RPR since they weren't included in this one.

Neat! I cant wait to see more creative people doing Reaper and Sage weapon designs

I think the reason why these weapons look so good (in general, as gauged by the reactions) is because they are made by artists that are probably passionate about the jobs they picked.

Not saying that the artists that make the regular items aren't good, but it's different when you get to focus on that special weapon that you always imagined your character using.

And I couldn't be more excited for many of those designs!

My favorite so far:





I hope those come out soon, but there are so many that will probably be material for years to come, much like the hair design contest.

The black mage Lampet like staff is the coolest

Second would be the wolf spear

Lastly I love the kitchen set

But they're all wonderful.
