Hydaelyn Role-Players

For those of you interested, here's the lowdown on where the weapons came from in the FFXIII trilogy.

• Blazefire Saber: Obviously, Lightning's classic gunblade. Unlike traditional gunblades in the FF series, her's folds up from sword mode to actually transform into a gun. It is in gun mode that the weapon can be stored.
  
• Vega Knuckles: You would think this would be Snow's weapon, but Snow actually fights barehanded and beefs up his attack through emblems, which are symbols on the back of his coat. Vega is actually the name of one of Sazh's pair of pistols, and here they've been converted into...Gun-Horas? Here's hoping they actually shoot!
  
• L'Cie Bardiche: A bardiche constructed in the shape of the crystal pillar created by Ragnarok in the end of FFXIII, to hold up Cocoon and prevent its fall after the death of the Fal'Cie Orphan. 
  
• Bladed Lance: Fang's signature hunting lance. In FFXIII, it split into a 3 sectioned sansetsukon. Aside from that, nothing too special about it, save how iconic the weapon is.
  
• Star Seeker: One of two weapons from FFXIII-2, this one belongs to Sera. In the game, it transformed between a bow and a sword, and was stored in Sword form (I think). I hope they repeat this in ARR, as the Relic weapon for the Bard folds up into a Harp when stored (please tell me I'm not the only person who noticed this).
  
• Binding Rod: Vanille's weapon, which was like some sort of hellish fishing rod. The forked ends would detach and dig into the enemy...It was pretty brutal. In ARR, it's a mere wand. Le sigh.
  
• Mog's Staff: Exactly what it says on the tin, kupo!  This belonged to the NPC Mog in FFXIII-2, who never actually participated in combat...Unless you count the fact that he actually transformed into Sera's Star Seeker. Regardless, this is the first time this staff has ever seen combat.
  
• Grimoire Wing: This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. The concept is thus: They took Hope's boomerang (yes...a boomerang) from FFXIII, multiplied it, and slapped them all together and called the resulting monstrosity a BOOK. Yes, this is the Tome weapon for all you Summoners and Scholars. Aren't you special~
  

I've never played FF13, but damn if I'm not eager to get my hands on those duds.

I'm secretly hoping we'll be able to dye them though so we don't quite all look as clone-ish as I imagine we all will. <_<;

AND LO

EVG CAME CRASHING DOWN FROM THE HEAVENS, HAMMER IN HAND, TO SMASH THE HOPES AND DREAMS OF TIERGAN.

They can't be dyed, bro. Sorry.

I like the initiative and I hope that it's a sign of things to come. Would love all the fan service they provide, in form of hints more or less obvious, towards former and future Final Fantasy games.

Sounds like fun ^^ Yay for new clothes and weapons xD

I actually heard a rumor about FF1 character pets. As in having a little FF1-era Black Mage follow you around. If it's true, I WANT IT.

I don't think there's anyone who didn't notice that the Artemis Bow folds into a harp? I mean, you would have to be pretty absent-minded to not see that...

In any case, I really want Serah's bow. Although, a friend told me that the weapons will be level 13 or something like that? If that's true, then the wardrobe system needs to hurry up. =/

Yes, the weapons will be around level 13. Like I said before...

Quote:Well, the weapons and clothing have really bad stats. It's pretty close to vanity items.

Because of this, I think we'll see them about as often as we see people running around with the Warrior of Light Helm/Moogle Hat. 

I believe it'll be us roleplayers who get the most out of these items, as opposed to standard players.

*Shrugs* In any case, what I said still stands. The sooner we get the wardrobe system, the better.

I'd wish they would let us gender swap the gear with Snow's outfit. Then again a few males in lightning's skirt would be amusing too just like the Foestriker skirt!

I'll take the clothes, but damn if that book isn't hideous.

I'm still using the book for my RP gear. It's hideous, but it's also exotic, and I figure why not have a bizarre looking Tome. It fits with the idea of Arcanists all having their own personal tomes.

Chapter 1 begins today!

This is truth!
