Empyrean Weapons

I believe we can now offically say lolhagun. Watch this have STP+20 something and WS+50% and a few other epic stats.

I wonder if Blu can use the sword and the new sword Ws...I'm guessing Cor can use the new gun Brd the Dagger and hopefully Blu can use the sword...lets hope lol

Safe to assume so, they don't appear to be job restricted nor confirmed to be. Would be funny to see a BLU using the sword.

<SE> *reads this post and rubs chin* Hmmm... ;D

I have no doubt that these are going to be kickass weapons, and along with that, quite difficult to obtain. As quoted from the Abyssea page, "Their might such that they are likened to gods among weapons." This leaves a great deal to the imagination. Will they be awesome weapons? -I think so. Will they be hard to obtain? - Most definitely. Will they be better than Relic or Mythic? It is possible, but not to the point that Relic or Mythic become obsolete.

I am also excited to find out how these weapons are obtained, and being that I have a nearly completed ++DMG GA, I hope it can be developed into one of these new weapons.

I hope I didn't give them any ideas....

Soul Caliber anyone? At least that's what it looks like to me... like SE ctrl+c & ctrl+v it! I like it tho ._.; and the idea that you can customize it with whatever trials you want really sparks my interest. Guess I better get crackin on that Soulsaber for my PLD!

Looks like freakin GS almost tho. that thing is massive

Completely agreed~

I think the dagger is pretty and the bow is cool. They will probably be outrageous to obtain, so I'll have to see the stats and decide whether my ranger wants that bow or my thief wants that knife.

Now that you mention it I do recall.

Masamune looks strikingly similar to Auron's Sword in all but Color and what appears to be a de-ner just above the hilt XD

This is a good thing. (IMO)

The design of those weapons is disappointing.

Anyone else think of the GS as the Great Fairy's Sword from Majora's Mask? If it had maybe some green...

I like the Almace but I hate the Scythe, GK, GA and GS :/

My Favorites: Scythe, Great Katana, Marksmanship, Sword...

Lots of these look like Soul Calibur Weapons, maybe???
Scythe-1st Red Greatsword looked hawt, now a red scythe! WOO
Great Katana-I've been waiting for the day for SE to bring in the Masamune!! THE DAY IS HERE!
Marksmanship-Looks hot, nuff said.
Sword-Wideass sword to whoop azz with! maybe.

I'm interested in seeing if these have anything to do with the "current" Magian weapon trials.

It's possible that the current weapons will receive their own upgrade path that's completely unrelated to the new weapons talked about in this update. That would make sense for those that won't be purchasing the add-ons.

Or perhaps they are one and the same. Which may indicate why they are possibly lowering the requirements of the initial trials. I wouldn't think it would be to elevate player concerns as to the difficulty but to make the remaining trials so difficult that starting would then be considered easier.

Aybssea versions of relic/mythic? Sorry I haven't looked into the addon since I stopped playing in April : _;

I KNOW RITE! Since when did SE merge with Capcom!? First Sonic Boom now this

I think the whole expansion pack will just be one big place to do trials of the magians(sp?) to augment/obtain the weapons. All the mobs and stuff will be part of different trials just to upgrade those weapons. I don't think they'll be relic/mythic tier but will still be pretty darn good. I bet it will be similar to the earlier expansions though where you only get 1.

I actually hope they aren't "Relics". Something Awesome and Obtainable would be great (Like the OAT weapons). Not better than (Good) relics, but obviously better than DD Mythics (Since they all suck huge amounts of ***, even AH gear/Magian weapons trump most, if not all Mythic weapon...)

Marksmanship "gun" looks like a bong.

I'm still hoping for some kind of new elemental staff.

I like the Caladbolg...



...LOL it's the sword that Galka's using from the FFXI logo! :p



After 8 years of making Yoshitaka Amano look silly for obviously designing the logo without ever having played the game, they toss him a bone and put it in the game for him. ^_-

Or is that they ran out of ideas and, like the Selenian Cap and Nuevo Coselete, they are just scraping around through the old game designs for any possible new content they can toss in? :p
