Glowing weapons

[Randis]

We find those features tacky. It's sorta like comparing a rainbow plastic necklace with a golden one. (An over exaggerated comparison, I know.)
You're an artist, you should understand why such things don't fit with the overall feel and style the game has going for it.

I do not see how they would not fit. It would fit perfectly when well done and does anyone here actually don't trust that SE could do the graphics right?
It only does not fit if you imagine FF characters running with WOW weapons around.

Thank you! Such a good example.

All of these people complain that the game looks boring and the minute somebody suggests something else, BAM no we don't wanna look like WoW... do you really think that art designers would copy off of WoW? We can really tell who has some kind of faith in this team >.> I think a subtle look actually wouldn't look that bad. I say that it should only glow or have an aura if it has a certain elemental attribute to it.

This is how I think it should be added and having it relate to the materia system would make the idea even better. Exactly how those designs glow is perfect. When using the materia system you should get an engraving into your weapon and if it is an elemental one it should wield a glow effect in the engraving such as the pic above.
