Its finally done ! I hope you like this expansion's result. In favor of a cleaner Showcase, I decided to attach the WEAPON NAMES to the Subtitles and tried syncing them with the music as well. So if you want the info about each weapon shown, turn them on. Much love and appreciation for all the Warriors of Light and Darkness, that kept supporting and watching the content of this channel. Forge Ahead and keep loving Final Fantasy
9:36 The SUM at this point: "The hell! I'm trying to take notes on this new Primal but I can't see the paper for all the blue hexagons my new journal cover is creating!"
TBH, it was a bit disappointing that scholar and summoner didn't get touch pads/high tech on the inside. That would've been really cool (and like a stylus on the side) but instead it's still just paper >.>
I like how you used Zenos for presenting the reaper weapon because the thought of Zenos playing through all of Hildi to get this weapon without just cutting him down is hilarious. :D
Nice video ! I dont like the last weapons that much - almost always the third one is the best looking one for me - overall there were a ton cooler relic weapons from older content (ARR or Heavensward has cool looking ones)
agree 100%. these look more like the spruced up version of a extreme trial weapon than relics imo. none of them look all that worth getting to me. will just stick with the second/third stage versions
looking back, I actually liked a lot of the 1st phase models...some of then had genuinely good base model designs like whm and drk....shame that the 2nd phase ones looked really out of place in comparison. I do like most of phase 3 and I think it'll have its place in Solution9 for sure. I think bard got the hugest glow up by far, I absolutely love the bis bow. I also think whm also has a nice design with the cyperpunk-themed flower. Unfortunately I think sum/sch and ast weapons need some sort of redesign, I just can't think of them being weapons at all...I'm not playing a fantasy game to have shiny-looking books
No idea what's wrong with old account so had to start over😢. I really don't like all the changes / reworks to the game makes no sense. But.....I love Reaper hehe 😮
They went from completely unique weapons suited for each job to just roleplay bait for your local male AuRa ERPer that thinks they're hot shit for doing savage content. What an incredible disappointment.
Endwalker was my first new expansion, and it was a pleasure getting to collect all of these. I'm always at work when the new patches drop, so I always looked forward to watching your relic stage videos and deciding which to grind for first when I got home
I wouldn't mind the glows for the final steps being all the same if the base weapon models at least had different aesthetics and/or the weapons all had different colored glows rather than just the blue and purple
Every single one of these are gorgeous!! even the matte ones! Thanks so much for the hard work on putting this video together! I love these vids but always have the same question every time I watch one... what is that outfit?!?!?! Would it be possible for you to add the outfit names to the side of the screen? smaller txt is fine, we can pause the video to get the names. I seem to be always taking a screen shot of an outfit and pasting it in my FC discord to ask what the top is or what the shoes are.... lol I think they're sick of me. Anyways... your vids are much appreciated!
This is really helpful with what I was wanting to see in terms of glamour for my job weapons. I also loved how you made the ninja look like Yugiri. I feel its a cute tribute to her. May the voice actress RIP!
Im so disappointed at how the final stage looks the same for all the classes. In fact i was so disappointed that i didnt even realize that it was the final stage. One week away from dawntrail i thought, when will they finally release the final relic quest. Ow man...
the reason im not really a fan of the final EW relic phase because how far it derived from the previous phase's design. this might look good in Dawntrail new city, but right now this isn't it (just yet)
while the process for acquiring them has left a lot to be desired I gotta say I love a lot of the designs. not just the final steps either but the 3rd step especially has some great base designs and a nice glow on most and second has a really cool unique effect for all the weapons. overall I'd say these are some of the best looking relics imo. its too bad BLM gets SHAFTed yet again and WHM steals all the cool weapon glams for rods. -__- when will this injustice end?
The Majestic SnS design looks like a high-fantasy evolution of the Amazing SnS, and then it just becomes 'RGB GAMING' SnS. I don't dislike the design, but it just doesn't seem very 'relic' to me. I truly hope relics in Dawntrail are more inspired and less visually similar between classes. The Majestic step was more varied.
Well Done! Does this mean you have all of them now? Wouldn't mind seeing a ALL RELICS video if you do have access to them. How about including them using the trick to have them glow when put away? ...the draw weapon/sit/stand macro
Got about a 50% bad location rate to show these off...bad lighting, features visually merging with the background, etc. Not the best production value and certainly not the best relics visually, but nice collection.
Thank you for your feedback. I actually thought to have increased the Production value a lot and chose basically every zone/dungeon available in Endwalker for a reminiscent journey through the expansion. I will try to make it even better in dawntrail 👍
Theogonic Corselet of Aiming(Thaleia Alliance Raid) Woodland Warden's Skirt(Mogstation) That's all I can make out, the rest you can make it up yourself however you feel like :)
They started off as upgrades to the relic gear weapons, into wholly unique designs into Space/alien/Omnicron weapons (due to the whole manderville weapons being made by extraterrestrials) I had no real issue with them, and i even like the glows. They have done similar glow stuff before in the past for final weapons. ARR, SB and SBH all had the same glows, but more often, they had color changes. Only weapon series with radically different end glows was Anima in HW and even then previous steps were similar in glowing stuff. If you dont believe me go look up the relics from past expansions. All bozja weapons have stain glass glows, all eureka weapons have the amano design with super twistly glowy bits, and all ARR have outline glows on the weapons. I feel like part of people not enjoying the relic appearances now is just due to how easily obtainable it is compared to previous relics. Me personally i actually like a lot of these end weapons. I thought the first 2 looks were sub par and the second look was okay for others. I'll rock these looks for a while until i feel the urge to go back to other relics if i so wish.
The designs look fine, but they just don't scream 'relic' to me. They seem like something that would drop from a raid. Specifically for PLD Amazing SnS is a low-fantasy design with a fairly basic aesthetic. Majestic SnS is a high-fantasy design with a more otherworldly aesthetic, but it still fits into the game. Mandervillious SnS looks like something that would drop in a raid, particularly The Arcadion, going by the extent of RGB lighting involved. It just doesn't make sense. Fantasy -> Fantasy -> Beep Boop. Its less a matter of not liking the design and more so a matter of the design jumping the shark aesthetically. I guess I'll just have to live with the Majestic SnS replica whenever it gets dual dye channels.
@Direwolf13PS3 it made sense when you read the quest text and understand that the manderville story was dealing with aliens. The weapon quest was all about reforging weapons the late ancestor of Godbert had created in the past in hopes of making them for people in the event something like the Final Days came back to defend themselves with. The two other steps were estimations and ideas, while the final step is the closest to the originals possible. These weapons were going to be the weirdest but also big fantasy with the alien tech going on. Even the quest said Pupu lend his hands in crafting the final step blueprint a little. I am not a fan of the idea the mandervilles are aliens (and then quickly retconned to have the current mandervilles be from adopted great grandparents) and it can be a bad story but they went and made it make sense in the long run why the final weapons look like that. As was the blades being antique looking, Eureka being Amano inspired, and so on. Taste can be subjective as seen by this collection. I know people who despised the Eureka weapons who then came around to them due to their uniqueness and I feel that due to the ease of obtaining these relics that sentiment might change as time goes on. Truth be told any of the weapon steps could of come from other content. First step could of been the relic job gear, the second could of also came from a raid with how all of them had that flaming fire effect too. It's a matter of perspective.
@italian504 That isn't the point I made, and Pupu's tech doesn't look like that. A more advanced variation on the Majestic designs would've looked more unique than something I would've expected to see in Tera ten years ago.
That's exactly what i wanted, for it to be big and noticeable, and they delivered on that. Why would you go reaper if you wanted a smaller less noticeable weapon lol?
The only ones that look good are mnk, dnc, whm, and sge. Rpr is kinda ok too. It sucks that they're all the same color. They were all such ornamental, pretty designs at first that serviced the weapons and then they did a complete 180 and ruined them imo :(. It's not a horrible concept just really poorly executed
These final stages are rough. It reminds me of Stormblood omega raids with everything all tech like. I really didn't care for those raids. Even tho they tried throwing nostalgia in them. Felt bland, cold, uninspired just like these final relic weapons.
Tbh, the final glow should have been an upgrade of the Eureka Orthos wpn (would have been nice since we havent got a shiny wpn from a deep dungeon since PotD) and the exquisite wpn glow should be the relic's. I get that they did the exquisite wpn to force people into running criterion savage instead of just giving actual good reward. Kinda like what they did with Eureka back then where they back loaded all the good stuff and if you dropped because it was legitimately shit content you were SoL. The decisions they make sometimes are just fucking stupid. That final glow fits with like 1 type of glam without clashing. The previous glow is actually better IMO the last one looks nice but not for a relic.
I feel like the second and last stages are kinda lame, mainly cause I've always disliked the ribbon effect, and all the weapons have the same techy/magitek effect in the last stage. The other stages go pretty hard though. (Apart from Dancer, the last stage of that one is very nice)
I wish they had gone for a more biomechanical look as the final stage. It’d probably be a least a lil less jarring, and also fit the lore of the mandervillous aliens
I like all relics because they take time to make and commitment To me that’s a sign of dedication which equals love of the game. I think these ones look cool with the high tech aesthetics. It’s different and I have lots of glam from late alagan to augmented Allahabad, to laws order and eureka to use.
I understand people can have opinions, but holy shit I’ll still be rattled by your taste if you think homogenisation of the relic designs are satisfactory.
I love when the final stage relics have a unified look, means a person can tell they are weapons from the same series, realistically why would they look different if the same dude made all with the same methods and materials?
The final stage weapons are the best! When designing a techno-futuristic look there few options, but now with this final stage they might have re-skinned Ironworks armor that is long overdue. Bout time!!!!
