The fact that SMN books auto attacks hit more than RDM rapier still baffles me.

I do think Tsukuyomi's Moonlit Rapier looks quite convincing, despite the curved tip:

nice wol

no there is definitely some really nice looking ones there. i appreciate the variety too; my friends make fun of me for it lmao but i've also said for a while that i wish they'd add a longsword looking weapon to the SAM armory for a while to mix things up a little. they do it to PLD, they get a macuahuitl, they could probably (if they don't already) get a khopesh, they have odin's weapon; WARs have some hammers, RDMs have some curved saber looking weapons from time to time when they arent making philips head screwdrivers. DRG get an enormous variety of polearms

and im not saying the RDM weapons that are canes, wands, or look like staves are unilaterally bad either, i'd look at them the same way i look at weapons that break the norm if they werent the norm; or if the ones meant to look like rapiers looked like rapiers

im definitely not saying they all look bad, but most of them do; which is a shame, because i think alot of the less over the top ones (the ones that are lower level, or that don't glow) would still look good if they weren't so wide for no reason

Just collect all of the ultimate rapiers

They never look bad

Thats kind of a stretchy request but I actually don't like how any of the ultimate weapons look and wouldnt invest time into them for the glamour as opposed to the experience of just clearing an ultimate. Not to bag on the achievment its just not my style tbh

Generally speaking though, just look at some of the foils, man. If you look at it from the front its a square. It doesnt need to look like an ultimate weapon to not be a screw driver. Im only dropping feedback like this for the future and for discussion; i have at least one or two rapiers i kind of like but most of them are really oddly shaped like that

You’re missing out, the TEA one is easily the best looking rapier in the game

Im partial to blue glows, so if anything Id probably like the UWU one; I didnt like the gears on the TEA weapons. I use Aettir on my PLD and I dont think I like any other longsword quite as much tbh, even if its also a little fat

But for rapiers I bounce around alot, between murgleis, crystarium, talekeeper and theres another im forgetting but the common point between most of the ones I like is that their cross section is wide enough to technically be broadswords. At least they look sharp comparitively

I'd like to be able to opt between two RDM weapon carry styles: standard style (focus on right hip, rapier on left) and "staff style" where rapier and focus are in their combined form at one's back, reminding us of the job's ties to WHM and BLM.

I generally bounce between the Edenmourn Rapier and Brunello Eureka.
