    Uh Europe and NA. 75% of this game's demographic. Our teens all look stupid. Where do you live, Namibia?
    Lol you be my guest and deny that visual format doesn't cater to certain demographics. We don't like Justin Bieber as a collective. It very much has to do with age.

    Sparkling, flaming characters are centered on the generic likings of the 16-20 year old demographic. The older, more mature MMO players prefer FFXI's style, or plausible modest fantasy. Classic gothic presence versus Elizabethan pomp. You're on the wrong side of Wuthering Heights here.

    your teens all look stupid in different ways. I live in NYC and we got old dudes in bright shirts and young people rocking all black. we got people who wouldnt be caught dead wearing anything but high fashion mens GQ stuff who are age 15, and dudes who are 45 wearing tye dye shirts. At one time putting on a powdered wig make up and wearing pink was considered being manly, what are you basing your definitions of what is old and what is young on. there is no maturity value on flashy, if someone wants to look like liberachie in game more power too him, it would at the very least be amusing to me.

    NYC, or Jersey Shore?
    Go sparkle in WoW. You've got the wrong series if you want to sport your Flaming Sword of Compensation around town.

    The only people who want to sparkle are the ones that don't. This isn't the game. This isn't the style.

    Subtle bubbles on a water sword, Maybe. If that. Brotherhood, if that.

    Half of you all have no clue what artistic design is. You'd love for your WoW characters to be copypasta'd into this world, dripping fire and flashing lights. Add some BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM to highlight how great you (think) you are.

    Everywhere you go, Ulda rocks should levetate up from the ground like they do in DBZ. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

    Look, you're an adventurer. You don't glow. You're just like everyone else. That's the point. You're not Cloud. Cloud gets a flaming sword of inadequacy. You're Biggs. You get an iron hammer of utility.

    You all can't equip enough sparkle and glow to be Clouds in this game. Dont' try to be unless you're a Cloud without anything on at all.

    actually theres a dude who is an artist commenting on the thread saying he would like some special effects, i am also an artist, and yeah id like the option for special effects. So are you an artist? did you take design classes? have you created anything visual? Im not even saying that my opinion is law, im just saying its about personal opinion rather than any static laws.

    funny you say you got the wrong series if you want be cloud when thats exactly what series this is. How about a guy with a gun thats a sword that explodes if i hit it at the right time. or the game that had a special weapon that was basically a huge glowing sword (atma weapon ff6) or the game where people hurl meteors at you when they are pissed off, and monsters grow giant wings on their back when they try to take over the world.

    oh yeah thats this series, over the top and all.

    You're not them. You're a rank 42 pug that I could take down with a Flare and a half.
    And that's with it being a pathetic spell.

    Biggs doesn't glow. You're lucky if he evern survives the tutorial, (which most people didn't).

    haha that actually made me laugh. well even if i am just a 42 pug, eventually there should be somethings out there that look a little more magical. not that it should be my gear, but it should be in there somewhere. To be honest i probably wouldnt be using most of the flashy stuff, all the trim and refinery aint my style, but it does fit some peoples charachters.
    but i would go for some burning fists, aura hands though i cant even lie.
