its the jaggedness of the weapons that remind me of the monster hunter style of these weapons

Christ, it really needs to be August faster.

Seriously man. >_<;

But when August gets here we'll be saying "It needs to be October already."

[LD]

That is absolutely true.

I look at these weapons and all I see is "Titan Primal" gear recolored into "Shadowlord" gear.

[Eagleheart]

All these weapons are awesome, but I've got my eye on the sword and axe. They shall indeed be mine. (`-`)

What you described is similar to an idea I had for how they should have handled the materia system overall.

Basically, there would be no such thing as RA/EX dropped gear, everything would be crafted items with special NM/stonghold/etc ra/ex materia melded to it.

Instead of Ifrit dropping weapons, he'd drop materia. The materia would be ra/ex and could be placed in a weapon, endowing it with the appropriate abilities depending on the weapon (ie. it'd give DoW weapons ATK and DoM Matk) while also changing the weapon to appear as the ifrit-ized version. Essentially all ra/ex gear as we know it would work that way, putting ra/ex materia into a regular piece of gear turns it into a ra/ex armor with the stats/appearance of the unique item it's based on.

I brainstormed a whole progression system and how multi-melds, materia removal, and materia strengthening would work but it wouldn't be worth the time to type. It would be nothing more than "wasted potential" fan fiction or something.

I like this idea too, seems efficient to me. Maybe you should post it in the official forums too so that the devs can see it. I don't know if its a bother to ya but they answer/respond to ideas all the time there, especially written out the way you explained but refrained from "wasted potential" posting it here.

And when October gets here, it needs to be January already.
