Weapon design contest winners is out!

[Raikai]

These could be used for scholar, i'd love to see the scroll used (but were still submitted as smn). But the actual scholar winner.. /sad panda. I hope they'll make the color pallette look more like the color pallette that was submitted for summoner, the aesthetic for the summoner color pallete is gorgeous. The Fairy book looks like terrible.

Ah, my bad... Didn't realize they were just SMN books. But yeah, might as well do a double take SMN-SCH since that's what they do already when released book weapons. Rarely the books have big distinctions.

I'm just excited to see books finally getting more out of the box weapons, because from all jobs, they are the most bland designs to be excited for whenever there's a new weapon collection being released.

I'm a bit sad the scroll didn't win. It looked like it could easily be worked to fit sch/smr animations that already exist. 100% agree the designs tend to be the most bland. I would love to see a sch version of the Carby book that won or even the other SMN book that won.

I think the fairy book looks nice. It reminds me of stained glass art. And I'm happy to see more fairy themed books.

As for the colour palette ones, I assume the designers went for different themes. The SCH one looks like a watercolour set while the SMN one looks like an oil painting set. Though I understand what you mean, the SCH one looks a bit more muted colour-wise.

I would love a Fairy theme book, I just felt this one fell short. But, hopefully devs will tweak it so it looks better than the design art.

Mixed feelings on the winners, really loved some of them, but underwhelmed by a lot of them too.

Little disappointed the SMN winners are both pretty conventional books, but the carbie one is cute at least.

Of our finalists this probably would have been my pick

A nice high-tech book that isn't made of paper:

I think BLM got the best set, I love both winners ^^

I like DRK 2 the most, very pretty. SAM and BLM 1s are also pretty.

Can't say any of their picks really wowed me, but I've known for a while that my tastes kind of ran counter to FFXIV's overall design aesthetic...

I like most of them, especially the WHM weapon with the moon. <3

They could make some contests for faces, hair styles and clothes too.




Cheers

Hairstyles and armor sets had previous contests, but a couple years ago. But hey, they can host new ones.
