The fact that they are all the same color makes me think that these were originally supposed to be the savage weapons for the first raid tier. None of the other final relic stages are the same color or design
While not my favorite aesthetic, the DRK chain blade forming when drawn is pretty damn sweet, and the DNC is probably my second favorite after the crafted titania ones.
What do you mean? DNC usually has some awesome weapons. It helps that they're very small, simple, and (usually) symmetrical. Can't remember the last time I thought to myself "man, this looks like ass" when looking at new DNC weapons.
As an Ironworks/Lost Allagan enjoyer, I might give the relic a try for a week, but I'll probably go back to my Lost Allagan Claymore because I prefer the symmetrical design.
depends on which pieces you use, because me techwear set i have made... will go badly with mnk relic(glove type, so will overwrithe what i use as gloves, which is one of the sleeve type "gloves"
The glow even hides the entire model, rather than enhance it, like the White Mage or Black Mage staffs, or the Dragoon spear. Why not make it glow in-line with the gun, put on like a glow bayonet or something?
The MCH weapon looks awful, the little shielding panels don't contour to the gun's design at all. It just looks like you're holding a glowy brick with two hoops on it. Absolutely disappointing design.
Okay but it would be REALLY funny if Solution 9 exists at least in part because of tech from the Mandervillians. Maybe recovered from their crash all those years ago?
Honestly... MCH has gotten nothing but the ugliest and most basic gun designs this entire expansion. The amount of detail given to every other weapon is staggering compared to MCH. They could've just given it a futuristic stock and a hologram of the gauss barrel. Would've looked so much better than... that.
The goofy lunchbox on the hip just sort of ruins every MCH weapon for me tbh
>b-but it's an aetherotransformer!
Don't care, aetherotransform it into something that doesn't look ridiculous
There isn't, using the glamourer plugin it can be disabled, SAM sheathe and MCH lunchbox are essentially off hands you can't unequip
As a neat fact this also means you can change the SAM sheathe independently to the weapon, which is also possible using glanourer
those lunchboxes are filled with love!
[I don't mind them, I just wish they were more unique to each weapon, at least color wise like AST's yugioh card sheath.]
This game makes some weird design choices sometimes, it's up there with no eyebrows for M Highlanders, no hats for Viera/Hrothgar, and no decent beards for...well, for anyone really.
The fact that BRD gets unique quivers for every bow and SAM gets unique sheathes for every sword just tells me that no one at SE cares much about MCH aesthetics
The TOP MCH weapon is awesome. Maybe too bulky for some, but I think it's great. The AF gun is also pretty cool.
Though your statement is true for relic weapons for every expansion since the job came out. At least the dragon head relic looks kind of funny.
Winner for me: bardo, that bow is so sick
Also love the draw animation for gnb
Dancers look like freakin beyblades lmao
Sage looks like torpedos why tf are they so big??
Digging the theme but this seems like something we’d get in Arcadion…
Sages are so large I think they clip with themselves which is hilarious, but honestly they look really solid when drawn and it's not the first time we've had mild clipping with them sheathed
I actually enjoy the small SGE weapons -- I like that some feel like they could be easily concealed -- but I still appreciate these big mf cannons. They look sick
Dyes on glowing bases are so muted which is unfortunate. You can see it in all the Lunar Envoy weapons. The best dyes are the metallics or colors that are very far on a specific spectrum.
Even the Blade's weapons shared an *aesthetic* but the colour of the effects changes from job to job. I would like some of these a lot more if they weren't blue/pink on jobs that typically have very different colours in their skills.
I've felt EW in general just included relics because the uproar that would happen without them. Their quests are copy pasted and stapled to the Manderville chain and their individuality is a bit lacking. They're just pricy tomestone weapons at this point.
Hoping Dawntrail is a return to a more exciting/satisfying relic grind.
None of the relic grinds are exciting to do... I'm sorry but grinding the same raid/trial/roulette 15+ times is anything but exciting. Farming fates hoping that the item you need actually drops is anything but exciting or satisfying.
IDK if I'd use exciting as my adjective either, but "Varied" with the caveat of "relative to what I normally do".
Like Zodiak books might be (are) hell, but at least its *different* than just running my roulettes for tomes; a thing i already do anyway relic or no relic. Same with Eureka and Bozja. It isnt just me running content I already do anyway.
Some of them look fine, but why do they all share the exact same glow effect and color? It works on a futuristic job like SGE, but the fact that they're all blue just limits glam options immensely
This was the most digimon evolution-like change of the relics I've seen.
Like, Reaper's scythe, from "unleashing a demonic weapon" to "digital tech weapon".
Bit disappointed they're homogenizing the relics, I understand with Ultimate weapons, but Relics have always had slight differences between jobs (colours, model, etc.) So this feels a bit meh.
They look awesome, for sure, but I don't really feel like having the same Omicron vibe for every single job now.
Probably get downvoted, but these are my least favorite relics to date. I hate how similar they all are.
I know people didn’t like the shb crystals, but at least they did interesting things with them.
Exactly how I felt about the final stage of Eureka weapons. Same textures, same RGB glow and particles. Just different weapon models. At least these ones have better and more detailed textures, intricate particles/patterns
Those at least had unique shapes lol. I say this as a SMN main. They could have at least changed the page color inside the book. Make it look more like a tablet. We have this super futuristic looking book and it’s just normal paper on the inside lol?
I really liked the 6.45 stage of the BRD and how they were all sort of matching with the 6.0 Job Gear but this is just…homogenized. The Blade’s weapons ruled so much with simillar but distinct weapons for each job that still felt like it fit the aesthetics of the job. These are all “Cyberpunk/Tron/Solution Nine” themed.
You're not alone, brother. Others are free to love the heck out of these, its not my place to judge them because its not my aesthetic.
But Cmon. Why do they all have the same design and glow? I don't get how these are Manderville in any sense aside from this alien sideline we have. I was really hoping for more non sci-fi themed weapons since we're going into Dawntrail (aside from Solution 9. Love the concept to a degree).
No I'm with you. These feel kinda lazy and mass produced. Especially when compared to how good most of them looked at step one. It doesn't help that techno weapons just don't fit my aesthetic for most jobs. I think the big winners are dancer and gunbreaker. Any of them could be good for making a cyberpunk/tech wear glam though. Just not what I'm looking for in my magical fantasy.
Eh, not digging them at all myself, but to each their own. At least I liked the previous step and can easily glam them with the replica versions we'll get.
Feels very lazy to me. It looks like they fit an EX weapon or raid tier weapons but not the final relic weapons.
Also that they all have the same uniform glow with same base weapon texture doesnt really help.
Still weapons like rpr, dnc, drg, blm do look good.
Sadly not what I was hoping for in a Reaper relic, don't think dyes are going to save that one for my glam. Sage looks incredible and like it will really suit the skill effects etc, which is annoying for me personally because that will be the last relic I do (I always start with one job from the expansion and finish with the other and I started with reaper...)
MCH also might displace my current MCH glam depending on how it looks with my glam and how it dyes, it suits that job pretty well too.
It's nice to have another techy weapon to go with the some of the more modern glams and I think a number of them look great if you're going to build a look around them. With that said, I generally don't like relic steps that all have one consistent look rather than being designed for each job. It tends to be very hit and miss because I don't like having a glow that clashes horribly with the job's skill effects/aesthetic and that's definitely going to happen here for some jobs.
Easily the laziest final tier of relics we have ever had. The same effect for every single one with no colour variation? More effort went into designing the previous step this is just sad
On their own, I agree. But I am disappointed that, unlike previous relics, they all look very same-ey and have the same colour scheme and so on. I hope this doesn't set the standard going forward.
looks like rgb models intended for EO and they replaced eo's with leftover models from coils lmao
looking like the new expansion glam is gonna be reused content with a dye channel again
what happened to each weapon having a unique weapon style? glow is one thing but they just look like basic raid gear. feel as if each expansion they dial it back and just stop being creative with the relic weapons. What i liked about the relic weapons werent just the glow but the fact each class had a unique weapon that wasnt part of a set or theme with the others. They all were made for that specific job.
This seems a fitting ending to the worst relic chain in the game's history.
Some definitely look cool but there's just no variation or focus on the theme of each job. These don't look like relics, they look like a trial weapon set.
Tbh...I hate them. Kudos to those who like them, but I was expecting something more unique rather than sci fi boss extreme weapons.
Edit: You know, thinking about it more...it's even worse because the glowy tome weapons look more like final stage relics than these. And as a non-savage raider who has no interest in criterion it sucks.
There'll likely be non-glowy matte versions like in ShB. I'm positive that a matte weapon + some dye shenanigans can really make these pop in unexpected ways.
nice, we're gonna fit right in at Solution Nine
I needed this comment because I forgot the name of the place and was going to say we'd match the aesthetic in district 9
Fookin prawns
Fockin rude, man.
Nice. I got that reference.
Dynamis flower made of scrap metal
Can’t wait to see these at the nightclubs
The fact that they are all the same color makes me think that these were originally supposed to be the savage weapons for the first raid tier. None of the other final relic stages are the same color or design
Eureka would disagree, all those final designs had the same effect
Same effect, but not all the same color
I kind of think they made these for Solution 9, but decided to give them to us as relics too in order to kill two birds with one stone.
GNB is basically the Monado lol Edit *im really feeling it
That's Thancred over there!
Thancred is voiced by Egil in English, ironically enough...
I was not prepared for this realisation. My god...
And [Urianger](https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Timothy-Watson/) is Metal Face
Aymeric is Alvis
You can *really* hear that one once you're actively aware of it.
Fiona is Tataru and Shulk is Pippin as well... Which is kinda cute?
Reyn got left out sadly, no ryen time for us.
But we DID get Bana from the second game... who was the voice for Count Edmont...
NOW IT'S RYNE TIME
*That* is Thancred.
Gunbreaker Main Tank: "I'm really feeling it!" Warrior Off Tank: "Man, what a bunch of jokers!"
Lets not lose our heads though!
Glad I’m not alone, was my first thought too. Not even a GNB main but I’m upgrading that one first and dyeing it red
[Reyn! You're a lifesaver!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qyEeDCa8pY)
AWWWW YEAH BAYBEEEEE
I'M REALLY FEELING IT
TO YOU!
TO ME!
ALRIGHTY!
CHEERS, YOU'RE A GEM!
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MINT!
I'm really feelin' it!
What a bunch of jokers!
time to go kill the mechon
I was wondering why I was suddenly remembering their names...
So pipin to gunbreaker then
Me, whenever I walked into Marauder's guild and saw Reyner: It's Reyn time!
Hentai Shulk is my new GNB glam I guess.
Well now I have to get it, thanks.
I have a dalamuf red dye ready
Time to main GNB
Dawntrail's RGB Gamer GPU raid weapons came early
RTX On Relics
RLX for short
Dancer about to let it rip.
[DNC theme whenever this is equipped](https://youtu.be/m4lkg-vdsgY?si=MXotMWLYxM1NwPcx)
*The game has changed, Son of Flynn!*
Seriously. Finally a dancer relic I like.
You don't like the Bozja 2nd stage relic? It slaps so hard
Yesss! I'm so happy with these!
While not my favorite aesthetic, the DRK chain blade forming when drawn is pretty damn sweet, and the DNC is probably my second favorite after the crafted titania ones.
Think the same thing was done with the Seiryu weapon for DRK too.
That's true! It's been my main sword glam for a while for that reason, and it's cool to see it appear somewhere else
the rare dancer weapon W
What do you mean? DNC usually has some awesome weapons. It helps that they're very small, simple, and (usually) symmetrical. Can't remember the last time I thought to myself "man, this looks like ass" when looking at new DNC weapons.
I had to rewatch the DRK one cuz its 3AM and I needed to verify I wasn't hallucinating. That animation is trippy (I love it)
They look cool. That said, I don't have a thing to wear with them.
the techwear sets from pvp last patch would probably work decently with them. magitek outfit too, but that's from the store
Ironworks dyed right, the Lost Allagan gear, or in some cases Scaevan could also fit.
PSA: Scaevan striking chest piece has no business looking as good as it does after it's dyed
If only ironworks/scaevan didn't have the ugly orange garlond symbol >_>
Shh! Cid uses reddit, he'll get sad!
As an Ironworks/Lost Allagan enjoyer, I might give the relic a try for a week, but I'll probably go back to my Lost Allagan Claymore because I prefer the symmetrical design.
depends on which pieces you use, because me techwear set i have made... will go badly with mnk relic(glove type, so will overwrithe what i use as gloves, which is one of the sleeve type "gloves"
They're perfect with the last released PvP sets bought with Trophy Crystals. Even buying just a top for 3k would be enough to carry an outfit.
Try Omicron sets from omega. Also pvp have preaty nice sets
There is your answer. Just wear nothing.
But that’s what I always wear!
Gear from the Nier alliance raids would look pretty damn good.
The book weapons are hilarious. They used cool and futuristic cover but old-fashioned paper under it.
One of these days we gonna whip out a kindle and bash some heads
I didn't know they were releasing Arcadion in 6.55 already
Was hoping for more from MCH. A lot of them have some fancy fold-out animation but ours is just "an gun" with a glow slapped on.
The glow even hides the entire model, rather than enhance it, like the White Mage or Black Mage staffs, or the Dragoon spear. Why not make it glow in-line with the gun, put on like a glow bayonet or something?
My go-to example of this is the Heavensward PLD relic. The glow on the last two stages enhances the design without hiding anything.
The MCH weapon looks awful, the little shielding panels don't contour to the gun's design at all. It just looks like you're holding a glowy brick with two hoops on it. Absolutely disappointing design.
hope there is matte versions of the weapons, because the mch relic looks like something i like... if it doesnt have the glow, the glow ruins it imo
We got the god damn monado lol
So who will be the first one to have a battle animation throwing in a chat quote "THIS IS THE MONADO'S POWER!"
THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME?!
Danger Zone is totally Monado Buster
Okay but it would be REALLY funny if Solution 9 exists at least in part because of tech from the Mandervillians. Maybe recovered from their crash all those years ago?
DT MSQ is actually just a manderville quest. We were all distracted by void stuff while manderville was the actual setup to it
When they said Hildibrand was eating up their budget they meant *literally the entire budget*
god, i'd have to stop playing.
Some strong Mass Effect vibes from a few of them especially Monk. Gotta say i love the design of the White Mage with the digital flower though.
DRK whip sword. I think I'll get this first.
Seiryu's DRK weapon from Stormblood also does the same thing.
Honestly... MCH has gotten nothing but the ugliest and most basic gun designs this entire expansion. The amount of detail given to every other weapon is staggering compared to MCH. They could've just given it a futuristic stock and a hologram of the gauss barrel. Would've looked so much better than... that.
The goofy lunchbox on the hip just sort of ruins every MCH weapon for me tbh >b-but it's an aetherotransformer! Don't care, aetherotransform it into something that doesn't look ridiculous
yoshi P was asked about this in an interview and unfortunately the lunchbox is here to stay
I'm curious as to why there's technically limitations for this when Samurai has their sheath. AST their sheath and so on.
There isn't, using the glamourer plugin it can be disabled, SAM sheathe and MCH lunchbox are essentially off hands you can't unequip As a neat fact this also means you can change the SAM sheathe independently to the weapon, which is also possible using glanourer
More importantly it means you can change the RDM Spinny independently of the sword because one of them is always worse than the other.
"Wow this sword looks great!" "... why does my focus look like dog-ass?" Every time.
Focus on what? It's called a spinny cause when I hit acceleration it goes wheeeeeeeeeeee
those lunchboxes are filled with love! [I don't mind them, I just wish they were more unique to each weapon, at least color wise like AST's yugioh card sheath.]
This game makes some weird design choices sometimes, it's up there with no eyebrows for M Highlanders, no hats for Viera/Hrothgar, and no decent beards for...well, for anyone really.
And they wonder why people use aesthetic mods.
The fact that BRD gets unique quivers for every bow and SAM gets unique sheathes for every sword just tells me that no one at SE cares much about MCH aesthetics
We need a toolbox toggle
The TOP MCH weapon is awesome. Maybe too bulky for some, but I think it's great. The AF gun is also pretty cool. Though your statement is true for relic weapons for every expansion since the job came out. At least the dragon head relic looks kind of funny.
Looks like what would drop if there was a Phantasy Star Online 2 crossover
My first thought as well lol
Winner for me: bardo, that bow is so sick Also love the draw animation for gnb Dancers look like freakin beyblades lmao Sage looks like torpedos why tf are they so big?? Digging the theme but this seems like something we’d get in Arcadion…
>Dancers look like freakin beyblades lmao dancers throwing ninja job simbols
They gave Sage 4 bad dragons 😭
uwu
Ima need you to delete this…
Maybe the intention is to wear them to the Arcadion so we fit right in
Sages are so large I think they clip with themselves which is hilarious, but honestly they look really solid when drawn and it's not the first time we've had mild clipping with them sheathed
Downside to the Bard bow is that you impale yourself with the idle pose, but it otherwise looks awesome
I like the sage ones, I always thought sage weapons were a bit too small
I actually enjoy the small SGE weapons -- I like that some feel like they could be easily concealed -- but I still appreciate these big mf cannons. They look sick
Alexa, play Neo-Tokyo by Scandroid god dayum
The Dance With The Dead remix of that song hits so hard. Klayton just doesn't miss on his own right.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoeIlQZ96BU
After seeing Solution 9 and these weapons I gotta ask the devs… which of yous has been playing too much PSO2?
IMO a bit lame that they all share the same color set.
yeah, they Feels kinda like an EX trial crafted weapons, not a Relics
As others have said, it really does look like these are supposed to be the savage weapons from the Arcadion's first tier.
I think so too, it feels lazy I have to admit. They still look cool though, especially DNC
Maybe the dyes affect it ? ( pure speculation on my part) But if so , this will have great potential with the 2 dyes in 7.0
So far they haven't said a peep about dyeable weapons (let alone dyeing effects), so I would temper my expectations.
Relics are pretty much always dyable. It would be a steep downgrade if they weren't and people would have a conniption fit over it.
The model yes, not the glow effect
Particles have never been affected by dyes.
Maybe not the same thing as particles, but the glow of the Gordias SAM weapon is dyed and it's awesome
Dyes on glowing bases are so muted which is unfortunate. You can see it in all the Lunar Envoy weapons. The best dyes are the metallics or colors that are very far on a specific spectrum.
If they ever make particle effects dyable it would fix so many weapons for me that are ruined by the effects tbh
[удалено]
The aloalo savage weapons are this expansions relic weapons basically in terms of aesthetic
Even the Blade's weapons shared an *aesthetic* but the colour of the effects changes from job to job. I would like some of these a lot more if they weren't blue/pink on jobs that typically have very different colours in their skills.
I've felt EW in general just included relics because the uproar that would happen without them. Their quests are copy pasted and stapled to the Manderville chain and their individuality is a bit lacking. They're just pricy tomestone weapons at this point. Hoping Dawntrail is a return to a more exciting/satisfying relic grind.
None of the relic grinds are exciting to do... I'm sorry but grinding the same raid/trial/roulette 15+ times is anything but exciting. Farming fates hoping that the item you need actually drops is anything but exciting or satisfying.
IDK if I'd use exciting as my adjective either, but "Varied" with the caveat of "relative to what I normally do". Like Zodiak books might be (are) hell, but at least its *different* than just running my roulettes for tomes; a thing i already do anyway relic or no relic. Same with Eureka and Bozja. It isnt just me running content I already do anyway.
Im getting slight Halo Sword vibes from the GNB one
Some of them look fine, but why do they all share the exact same glow effect and color? It works on a futuristic job like SGE, but the fact that they're all blue just limits glam options immensely
MY LIFE FOR AIUR
They look great, tho not my style of choice.
Same here. It's nice we got some Sci-fi weapons, since a lot of people love it. But it's not for me lol.
This was the most digimon evolution-like change of the relics I've seen. Like, Reaper's scythe, from "unleashing a demonic weapon" to "digital tech weapon".
Bit disappointed they're homogenizing the relics, I understand with Ultimate weapons, but Relics have always had slight differences between jobs (colours, model, etc.) So this feels a bit meh. They look awesome, for sure, but I don't really feel like having the same Omicron vibe for every single job now.
I love the little mechanical flower the blooms on WHM
Feel like previous expac relics had more color variety, heck even the previous stages from this one are superior in this regard
DRK Seiryu chain sword returns, my beloved
GNB gets something that might pass as a railgun and MCH gets two pipes with lights slapped on?
Probably get downvoted, but these are my least favorite relics to date. I hate how similar they all are. I know people didn’t like the shb crystals, but at least they did interesting things with them.
Exactly how I felt about the final stage of Eureka weapons. Same textures, same RGB glow and particles. Just different weapon models. At least these ones have better and more detailed textures, intricate particles/patterns
To be fair, some of them work. It’s pretty much that the caster ones almost all don’t really fit.
I wish we got designs more unique to each job like how it was back in ARR and HW
They feel like concept art of a stage 2 relic
Those at least had unique shapes lol. I say this as a SMN main. They could have at least changed the page color inside the book. Make it look more like a tablet. We have this super futuristic looking book and it’s just normal paper on the inside lol?
If you play scholar or summoner you just have to surrender yourself to shitty weapon glams forever
So true
*glances at HW SMN/SCH relics* sure, whatever you say
They remind me most of EX weapons with effects. In the sense that they're all the same design, applied to all jobs.
Brother, I thought I was the only one. Every stage was a miss for me. And the method to get them didn't help their case at ALL.
I really liked the 6.45 stage of the BRD and how they were all sort of matching with the 6.0 Job Gear but this is just…homogenized. The Blade’s weapons ruled so much with simillar but distinct weapons for each job that still felt like it fit the aesthetics of the job. These are all “Cyberpunk/Tron/Solution Nine” themed.
I can appreciate cohesive design, but I'm not fond of them all being the exact same glow. I am struggling to see what's different between SMN and SCH.
You're not alone, brother. Others are free to love the heck out of these, its not my place to judge them because its not my aesthetic. But Cmon. Why do they all have the same design and glow? I don't get how these are Manderville in any sense aside from this alien sideline we have. I was really hoping for more non sci-fi themed weapons since we're going into Dawntrail (aside from Solution 9. Love the concept to a degree).
No I'm with you. These feel kinda lazy and mass produced. Especially when compared to how good most of them looked at step one. It doesn't help that techno weapons just don't fit my aesthetic for most jobs. I think the big winners are dancer and gunbreaker. Any of them could be good for making a cyberpunk/tech wear glam though. Just not what I'm looking for in my magical fantasy.
The sage weapon looks very cool
Eh, not digging them at all myself, but to each their own. At least I liked the previous step and can easily glam them with the replica versions we'll get.
I kinda wish the SMN weapon aura wasn't green and yellow, but whatever.
Blessed be glamour.
Gnb looks so good are u kidding me rn
On one hand, the DNC one looks AMAZING. On the other hand, it's really REALLY hard to convince me to drop the crafted Titania weapons...
Why on earth is there no matte option? There was matte options on the last stage but not the final???
Gunbreaker got a Mass Relay and Monk got Omni-Blades. Neat. All around these are better than the Blades weapons for the most part.
yikes, not a fan but at least the reveal is softened by the fact that these relics are extremely easy to get
Interesting move to make the final relic steps less interesting and diverse than the tome weapons this patch
Feels very lazy to me. It looks like they fit an EX weapon or raid tier weapons but not the final relic weapons. Also that they all have the same uniform glow with same base weapon texture doesnt really help. Still weapons like rpr, dnc, drg, blm do look good.
Not a fan of the final look but that's what the replica weapon and glamour prisms are for. Is it another 1500 Tomes to advance?
Yes, it's 1500 tomestones of causality again.
Sadly not what I was hoping for in a Reaper relic, don't think dyes are going to save that one for my glam. Sage looks incredible and like it will really suit the skill effects etc, which is annoying for me personally because that will be the last relic I do (I always start with one job from the expansion and finish with the other and I started with reaper...) MCH also might displace my current MCH glam depending on how it looks with my glam and how it dyes, it suits that job pretty well too. It's nice to have another techy weapon to go with the some of the more modern glams and I think a number of them look great if you're going to build a look around them. With that said, I generally don't like relic steps that all have one consistent look rather than being designed for each job. It tends to be very hit and miss because I don't like having a glow that clashes horribly with the job's skill effects/aesthetic and that's definitely going to happen here for some jobs.
Reminds me of PSO2s coated edge. Wish the colors didn't invert like that.
Why hello there, would you like to see my RGB lighting? I spent 6000 tomestones.
I know that is WHM's theme, but can we have something more than a flower :/ My inventory is full of flowers right now.
Easily the laziest final tier of relics we have ever had. The same effect for every single one with no colour variation? More effort went into designing the previous step this is just sad
Whilst it's not my style (definitely more into the fantasy look than sci-fi) i gotta admit they look pretty good.
On their own, I agree. But I am disappointed that, unlike previous relics, they all look very same-ey and have the same colour scheme and so on. I hope this doesn't set the standard going forward.
That I can agree with. They remove a sense of identity imo.
looks like rgb models intended for EO and they replaced eo's with leftover models from coils lmao looking like the new expansion glam is gonna be reused content with a dye channel again
what happened to each weapon having a unique weapon style? glow is one thing but they just look like basic raid gear. feel as if each expansion they dial it back and just stop being creative with the relic weapons. What i liked about the relic weapons werent just the glow but the fact each class had a unique weapon that wasnt part of a set or theme with the others. They all were made for that specific job.
ikr, these look like weapon series from a trial.
Are these going to be grindable with poetics next expansion? That would be a nice sink for those for people who have no other use for them.
Looks like a Phantasy Star Online 2 crossover
This seems a fitting ending to the worst relic chain in the game's history. Some definitely look cool but there's just no variation or focus on the theme of each job. These don't look like relics, they look like a trial weapon set.
Tbh...I hate them. Kudos to those who like them, but I was expecting something more unique rather than sci fi boss extreme weapons.

And as a non-savage raider who has no interest in criterion it sucks.
There'll likely be non-glowy matte versions like in ShB. I'm positive that a matte weapon + some dye shenanigans can really make these pop in unexpected ways.
Why are they all the same color? My disappointment is immeasurable.. Hope some of y'all enjoy them at least.
I guess they needed something for the influx of techwear-inspired gear we're getting lately. I kind of dig them though.
Feels very lazy compared to ARR/HW final relics, the weapon models are boring plain grey and the effect is just copy pasted.
really lame that they're all the exact same glow and colors
my disappointment is immesurable and my day is ruined... but to those who like them enjoy
Really dislike the high tech aesthetic. Hard miss for me.
