Hildibrand for relic? Really?

[RitsukoSonoda]

Part of me felt a little disappointed the Manderville weapons weren't over the top and kinda goofy looking like the Sabotender weapons from Gold Saucer...

The artifact weapons look like npc weapons.

The artifact weapons look like npc weapons.

where can I find these NPC weapons?
So I can glam them without having to do work.

Is it though?

What is an npc weapon?

I think it might be an awkward way of saying they look generic/boring.

To me they look really uninspired but maybe they'll look ok when they get a glow. Won't know until then.. you know in like 4 months lol

Judging the look of the relics as they are now, they do seem pretty basic and a little too "on-brand" for the jobs. When I first saw screenshots of them, I almost thought they were re-used models. ( ﾟдﾟ )
We'll have to wait and see if they're get any of that Manderville charm. ¯\_( ◉ 3 ◉ )_/¯
I wish the gear designers would go out out of the box more when designing the max-level job gear and the relic weapons. (✿´ ꒳ ` )

As for the questline, I'm actually interested in the actual Hilde and Pupu part of it. I hope we don't have to continue the relic quests to see it though. (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ))

I can't think of a first stage that has ever wowed me tbh.
On brand for jobs doesn't seem like a complaint tbh. That seems to be a good thing

For me, being too on brand with the jobs' looks, colors, and iconography makes it feel repetitive. (;´Д`)
With these relics for example; while I wouldn't want them to be cartoonish like the Gold Saucer weapons but maybe they could of had a little more of that Manderville over-the-topness (brighter gold, brighter colors, gems, ornate goldsmith work, etc).

What they should have done since its the Manderville men we are talking about is panties inspired weapons. Hit those mobs with boxer shorts.
