it feels like there was a disconnect between the team that design the gear and the team that designs the raid because i really don't see how they connect aesthetically to the arcadion? like if they were going for a "wrestling" feel they should've gone all in with the cheesy glitz instead of going with hot topic clearance rack
while i also dont really like them, maybe they get more fancy each tier? these are maybe muted because of being in amateur leaguge? i do hope the final tier sets have a similar champion belt buckle like the sets from feast season 1/2. but the hot topic stuff does feel like new japan heel aestetic compared to something like ric flaire , gold dust or even rey mysterio
I honestly don't like that in the ultra-futuristic arena the weapons and outfits look more fantasy-ish than what we got during the MSQ. It feels like they can't decide on the tone. Like, we should be getting these outfits and weapons from dungeons like the lvl 100 ones rather than from the Arcadion.
@@Dieci-9 agreed, I was very much thrown off seeing the normal raid gear for the first time. The weapons are at least a bit more aligned but still… doesn’t fit the overall tone and tbh we already have so much fantasy, I’m not sure why they’d hold back from doing futuristic gear here…
@@corvoyami3192 you have obviously never watched wrestling. the only thing that looks remotely wrestling inspired is striking and scouting gear. everything else does not look remotely like any wrestling outfit in WWE or the NJPW, its terrible.
You have no idea how it annoys me when they have mismatched metal ornamentation on these sets, i.e. silver all over the healer gear (which looks hideous in that white and red), but then the weapons are all gold.
Recommendation for Viper weapons! If you do the battle stance emote, it turns the weapon into the Dual Bladed mode, would be nice to see that version in these previews!
Yea I tried to show it with one of the skills, but if I do this, its hard to see the weapons separately and some ppl think its a unique one handed weapon 3:
maybe I'm in the minority, but wow I don't like the look of anything in this savage tier, except the fights themselves lol, tomestone gear actually looks much better too.
Am I the odd one out in regards to liking the Machinist weapon? A sawed-off shotgun is pretty damn badass if you ask me. Then again though, I still believe that the Neo-Kingdom Musketoon is a better option for me solely because they finally decided to not butcher a rifle
Nah, the MCH weapon is one of the few this tier that look interesting IMO. It actually looks like a weapon, and one that they've never done before for MCH (or at least done well.) The other one I like here is the WHM staff - its grip and vertical symmetry make its design genuinely novel, even if not personally my style. I suppose the VPR one is fine too, if only because the class has so few options at the moment that "generic high-res sword" is still a welcome addition. Nothing that comes close to the "wow" factor that the first tier last xpack had, but then basically no raid weapons they've ever released have matched Asphodelos.
I think these are nice designs, might go well with some specific fantasy glamour but it's not really for me. Tighter lines in the weapons texture showcase the updated graphical fidelity really well though.
Im going to go outbon a limb and say the maderville weapons were designed for the savage raid tier and got thrown into the 6.x "relic weapons" for whatever reason. They fit solution 9, these dont.
I really like the weapons but this is for savage right? And isn't savage supposed to be the hardest game content? Shouldn't the weapons be idk shinier?
@@RainbowLizardOne how does this even make sense 😂 also what makes you so old mature and cool to call someone a kid over their opinion about how something looks in a game? Next time atleast try to be intelligent 😂😂
@ahmki52298 Ultimates are the hardest content in the game, not savage. Ultimate weapons are usually the ones with crazy effects. The last savage tier also didn't have many effects on the weapons either, when the new ult comes out that'll have big shiny weapons
Unpopular opinion probably, but I wish they would throw a bone to non savage raiders for once and give us at least a single dye channel for the normal raid gear
@@CrowDaFoe wait for next expansion and farm them unsync. EX and savage are simply not worth the time investment with their difficulty right now, it has always been the case. People doing savage or ex on release are brain dead for wasting so much time on it
@@dragonmares59110 Thats what I usually do for savage, but actually filling up pf just to do them unsync is miserable since a majority of people are doing the new content instead
Haven't been all that impressed with much of the endgame armor and weapons so far, very underwhelming. Almost feels like the designers burned all their brain cells on the EW T1 raid gear and it's been downhill every since.
Sadly UA-cam claimed copyright on music so its muted.

Honestly i think the tombstones look more better then darkhorse one
what a tombstone
@@vaisendaisen the allagan tomestones. Specifically the heliometry ones
Its underwhelming that the weapons have so much detail that only pops out if you dye it. Savage content truly is the endgame for glam

They literally look like wrestling belts.
Lmao
We really peaked in Asphodelos.
The meh that these weapons invoke is so loud that it can be heard on all the other shards of The Source.
Disagree but to each their own

There's the next two tiers I suppose
This is not fantasy, it's wrestling outfits inspired.

@@NorthernLadMSP THAT BUGS ME SO MUCH TOO

Or if you just do a move that turns the weapons into dualblade mode it sticks until you use a different move

They dye super well, the purple and white was a great choice for showcasing them.
i'm a bit underwhelmed to be honest, i expected.. a bit more crazy/futuristic designs. But when you dye them they pop at least a bit
yea it looks better when it has dye on
They have a more Amaurot art deco aesthetic than Solution 9. The RPR and GNB look alright though.
Lots of detail which is good and these have updated graphics unlike most gear
I really love the new graphic on weapons!
@@ThePhookas yeah makes me really excited to get gear from dawntrail with it all having updated graphics
underwhelming but i guess they fit the style of the armors, which are also underwhelming.
That sawed-off looks so good!
The ost absolutely awesome
The WHM staff is a crime, ngl
maybe I'm in the minority, but wow I don't like the look of anything in this savage tier, except the fights themselves lol, tomestone gear actually looks much better too.
Thanks for the vid.
Man i think whoever makes the WHM weapons, just hates WHM....
@@Tsuba_Nick yea whm weapons are extremely boring
The fact one of the weapons wasn't a kendo stick or a steel chair hurts me inside

thanks friend of culture
Oh cool they look like wrestling champion belts
These are an easy pass.
They look like wrestling belts, from a wrestling inspired tear. What did you expect? It's also the first tier.
The gear and weapons look underwhelming they should be glowing and futuristic. :/
I was expecting more of a futuristic look with the raid tier direction. I’m not a fan of the gear but it looks better dyed. Maybe next tier
I think these are nice designs, might go well with some specific fantasy glamour but it's not really for me. Tighter lines in the weapons texture showcase the updated graphical fidelity really well though.
Why don't any of these weapons glow?
These are very pretty and detailed, but for some reason seem very disconnected from the theme of arcadion and raids
I do like the ninja and bard weapon but that's it.
still waiting for a paintbrush that looks better than the chocobo brush =/
the eden paintbrush is probably the best one rn
Valigarmanda brush looks very elegant. And it’s thicc. But i agree Chocobo paint is the best designed brush with character.
Im going to go outbon a limb and say the maderville weapons were designed for the savage raid tier and got thrown into the 6.x "relic weapons" for whatever reason. They fit solution 9, these dont.
they don't even glow smadge
Nothing will beat endwalker tier 2 savage gear
OK now why am I not dyeing my weapons metallic purple? 🤩

this looks like dungeon gear tbh, utterly disappointed, bring back the designer from abyssos
Very boring design
ahaha yea I ain't resubbing for this unless ult looks fire lool
Yeah kinda bleh imo
oof hopefully next tier is better
