Ruby Weapons

You and others might consider reading this latest dev blog entry. There's more to item creation than just throwing together an asset.

I don't care for what happens behind the scenes in item creation, what steps it takes or what team is responsible. They designed, released Reaper and Sage, promoted the new jobs in Endwalker and designed multiple glamours that barely anyone is interested in. Especially for Reaper the costumes are still aimed towards Dragoon design, barely fits the job description at all. It's time to stop making excuses or defend their lazy choices to keep excluding new jobs from older trial weapons. They added Ultima Sage and Reaper weapons, so what excuse is there to keep shafting the jobs?

You should care for what happens behind the scenes because it actually answers the question of why those jobs are "getting shafted". You're ironically being lazy by calling them lazy and not taking the time to educate yourself on the process. It's not perfect and it would be nice if they could fill in the blanks for all the jobs, but it's not feasible in the foreseeable future. I did the math on this when the Titania EX weapons came out and the same fuss was going on. It's a backlog of hundreds of items.

How they handle Ultimates isn't all that different. They provide weapons for the current jobs and that's the end of it. You're not going to go back to TEA and find Sage / Reaper weapons. It's unfortunate, but you can't protest every little thing and expect results. The team has to keep moving forward.
