Glowing weapons

[Gracious]

Yeah, i think it will look really cool if youre walking down the streets of uldah wearing a shirt made of oLEDs. It wont look out of place at all.

can you say GAUUUUUDDDDYYYY!

UM hello.

As opposed to ohhh say idk... the egg helm lmao.

Well the egg helms resemble enlarged Fabergé Eggs, which are items you might imagine denizens of Uldah to posess. It's only natural that someone should decide to wear one upon his or her head. It might not be very fetching from a fashion standpoint, but it's not aesthetically displeasing.

I think a high-voltage robe of light would kind of throw me off, and would make me lose a little respect for the low-key atmosphere of FFXIV.

I think some of you guys failed fashion class at school.

I think some of you went to some fairly crummy schools if they had to fill up the curriculum with things like fashion class.

I'd personally quite like to see glowing effects very occasionally in armour, and reserved only for the better stuff. for example seeing a couple of shards of aetherite glowing on a weapon would be pretty neat. As well as that, if we're getting a materia system in the future it would be pretty cool if some weapons and armour had visible materia slots (pretty unlikely, and also they'd have to be fairly small) that would glow slightly.

But yeah, very rarely. We don't all need to be walking christmas trees like certain other games.

The latern shield is a perfect example of a glowing piece of equipment done right. The first time I saw one I was " OH, what's that?" The glow is not overpowering yet adds individualism to the equipment. Even a small glow from a pendant on body piece would add something original to the piece yet maintain the overall look of the game.

Why is everyone talking about the en-spells anyways? The topic is about weapons that glow in a passive state, as well, as active.

A player asked for an example of weapons glowing in previous Final Fantasy titles. This is the only instance of it happening.

[Physic]

ehh no one specified that they have to glow in a passive state. I could see some weapons whose effects trigger as soon as you go active

[Nuru]

Well not exactly what i meant. But when you look at the topic, the OP is talking about weapons that glow naturally. >.>

Of course, En-Spells need to be visible but I don't think that is what the OP meant to discuss. (Which, I'd prefer it WAS what the OP meant to discuss. Yeesh >.>)

Ugh, no offense, but I took a look at pictures of some of the glowing weapon in WoW, and they are the stupidest things I have ever seen. I'd like to sound more eloquent about it, but I can't really put it any way other than they look stupid and unrealistic, and can we stop copying cartoony crap already?
