It's weird that Pictomancer gets a Chocobo Brush, but Viper gets nothing.
- It was the same with Red Mage and Samurai. Red Mage got the chicken knife, but Samurai was ignored.
- Dancer got ignored, and Gunbreaker got the special weapon.
- Reaper got the special weapon in Endwalker, but Sage got ignored.
- Heavensward and ARR had no weapons with the digital collectors edition.
If I could change this I would, because It's annoying when one of the jobs doesn't get chosen. ESPECIALLY THIS TIME AROUND, because Pictomancer got a glowing particle effect weapon, and Viper did not. With old EX weapons not being made available, its an inbalance of favortism at launch, and its not kind to the players who like the job that wasn't chosen.
There's so many ways this could of been different.
Samurai could of had any of the many different options. There are a lot of iconic swords that would have fit the bill. Obviously Masamune is the most iconic choice. There are so many iconic variants of this sword. I would of personally have gone with Aurons version, Sephiroth is too obvious. The other good option would be Shadow's version from FFVI, though he was more of a Ninja than a Samurai. Still would have been cool.
Dancer could of had Tsukiyomi's fans. She was practically a hint at dancer anyway.
Sages weapons have never been seen before in the franchise, so it would of had to be something unique, but that doesn't change the fact that there was still a lack of balance. Would of had to be something new and original, and that is okay. I would of gone with Menphina. Make a weapon for it that is themed after Menphina, goddess of the moon. Could of been anything though.
Viper could of got Zidane's iconic weapon. The Ultima Weapon. Yes, there already are such things in this game, but it could of been Zidane's version. The Butterfly Sword would also have sufficed, even if it isn't as good. Would of been SOMETHING.
Devs, please stop with this inbalance of pre order weapons. It's not fair.
