EW "relics" and design.

So the last step of the Manderville weapons, the "Mandervillious" weapons have been released. And alongside them, the Majestic Manderville Matte Replicas that we should have had when they were added to the game.

Notably absent are the Mandervillious Matte Replicas.
This hasn't been an issue for any previous relic series, the ARR, HW, and SB ones all had a non-glowing variant of their weapons before the glowing ones were added - sometimes even in the same patch.
Shadowbringers' "Blade's" weapons were a brand-new model, but in the same patch you were able to buy Matte Replicas so that you could have a version of the weapon without VFX in combat.

Then in Endwalker, the third weapon has a new model that already has VFX added to it, without a Matte Replica. Then when you update the relics to add the last one, you take the advice of everyone complaining at you and add the Matte Replica Majestic Manderville weapons... but not a Matte Replica Mandervillious one. When it's another new model.

These new weapons look great and i'd love to use some of them for magitek glamours, but without the alien glowing effect. Sucks to be me i guess.

It took someone 12 hours to make a mod that removes the VFX. How much effort would it take to make the items for it that you had in ShB?
