Glowing weapons

[Rhianu]

Is there anyone that says you can't have them in the world? No; but there isn't anything that says you can't have flying purple hippos wearing top hats and vomiting rainbows either.

Sorry, but using ridiculous exaggerations doesn't help your side of the argument. At all.

In XIV, everything about the weapons and gear feels hand crafted and real, as if they could actually exist in the Late Middle Ages to the Early Modern Era. I feel glowing weapons would fall away from that.

Eorzea is a fucking fantasy world! We don't have to limit the items in the game so they only resemble real-life weapons when the game's world was never even intended to mimic real-life in the first place. -_-

There is magic that could be used to temporarily enchant weapons, but that's really the furthest extent that I personally care to see.

Why should magic be limited to temporary enhancements? Is there some rule in the game's story that say magic is only temporary, and that it fades with time? No? There isn't such a rule? Alright then.
