I was just looking through the relic weapons you can get, pretty much every thing looks good except for the Warriors axe, and the Dragoons lance; which both look really plain. I wouldn't mind this so much if it weren't for the fact that overwhelmingly these two classes seem to really get shafted in the art department when it comes to their weapons. If you look at the artifact weapons for the other classes - all of them seem to have a unique property to them, and all of them stand out as being unique and something you can instantly recognize, except for these.


Like I said though, it's not just here, but overwhelmingly every where else when you play the game. The same armor models with slight color variations which don't matter since you can dye it, and the same weapon models which cannot be modified in any (which I'm fine with). Mean while from running dungeon finder it seems to me like the other classes all have some unique variation to their gear as we continue to progress, except for the warrior and dragoon.

Other classes obviously have the same problem to some degree, during early beta when I was leveling up a monk I couldn't tell you how many of those retarded leather I don't even know what they were things I got over and over again, but eventually it changed and there seemed to be regular new models appearing.

In a game called Final Fantasy if there is one thing I'd expect, it would be highly unique looking armor and weapons, and an extremely large amount of it. Yet instead what we are given is beyond underwhelming, and bordering on being pathetic when compared to other games. I'm not asking to be glitter bombed and have rainbows flying out of every orifice, I just want decent looking unique gear, instead of another 'open linen vest showing off my hairless adolescent boy chest'

I fully understand the game just launched, and maybe we'll see more unique variations in due time, but right now beyond the server issue this is something that I feel needs to be addressed immediately. Because at the end of the day in any MMORPG it boils down to gear and the way you look.
