Its obvious that those weapons were already designed with Dawntrail and Solution 9 in mind. Those Weapons fit right into what we have seen so far of that area. Im excited to see if the Arcadion in Dawntrail will deliver Armor in a similar Style, that would be sick.
I'm betting we get to Solution 9 at level 95, which is the last level we'll be using these weapons before swapping them for MSQ gear. That way when we arrive wielding these, we look the part
@@deepangelmx I recommend watching Synodic Scribe's video theorizing the purpose of Solution 9. I think he's onto something, and it's not Mandeville. Personally, I doubt Mandeville will ever be incorporated into the MSQ in any serious way. It'd be too much of a time shift for something that's always been their goofy, comedic testing grounds for new animations. Maybe it could be tied to side content like this cosmic exploration we're getting!
bruh can we all not deep analyze something that suppose to be alien in nature and design considering the manderville family roots come from a parasite alien species or did we all forget that?
Yep I'm looking forward to using the WHM relic for glams when I pick it up. I'd not really been a big fan of any of the WHM relics until this one so I'm happy
I like how it resembles a flower too, especially the animation with the "petals" opening. Looks like it might be sharp enough to more efficiently draw blood for the blood lily.
I think it's less Manderville has been there, but the culture there was also influenced by the same alien species... that's the first thing I thought of when i saw them.
I thought of solution 9 as well given the color choices. I don't have a futuristic glam yet so I will probably get them for the stats then glam over them.
My theory is that Solution 9 will be first reached around level 95, which is the last level these weapons will be stronger than Dawntrail MSQ gear. That way, when we reach Solution 9, everyone with these weapons will already look the part
I don't think omnicron but that other species we see in that dungeon the dead ends, the one that was in a civil war where you fight the magitek boss@@KLGChaos
@@deejudanne460 the ones that we get once per expansion and should be more special than trial weapons that we get 7-8 every expansion? Yea, yea that one.
I really wish the cards for astro and the lunchbox for mch changed with the relic it would be awesome. It also gives me doubt that pictomancer's palate will change at all
Considering the effects from the previous stage, these are completely out of left field. Obviously they are designed with Solution 9 in mind, but... Well, I am certainly in no hurry whatsoever to get my RPR or SMN weapons. I was hoping they would stick to the theme of fitting each job uniquely but it seems they are again moving away from that aspect. The SGE one looks nice though. Definitely keeping my Fae Crown Codex. Oh well lol
Yeah these seem like savage tier weapons don't get me wrong they look fantastic but them all being the same color scheme with no unique names is kinda disappointing
@@brycemoose7026 i like it more that way. because it feels like a waste if they use good weapon designs for only one weapon. sure in the first moment they may seem to similar to each other, but afterwards its just gonna be one choice of all the different weapons we got til this point. and they may run out of ideas for good designs if they need completely new designs for each weapon
SMN weapons always suck anyways besides the one with big projected wings. Forcing a shitty book on summoners massively handicapped the design space for them.
@@Necrostrike oh you don’t have to tell me. Since 2.0 I have hated the weapon designs for smn. While I find the books a novelty for smn, they lack any kind of imagination whatsoever. There are so many possibilities for good smn themed books, and we get… this… thing… This last stage gave me actual hope for a neat and new design for a smn relic with the glyphs they used, but then they decided to homogenize the final stage to this cyberpunk design. They look good, they do, but they aren’t what I was expecting at all. I need to get back to my artist roots and start doodling again and design some smn themed books and submit them
Great video, really mastered the way to show weapons :) But damn devs missed the opportunity of doing a simple one round glowing blade like Tron’s discs :/
I have to admit my first reaction to the new relic designs was... eh. Can't say I'm really a fan of the sudden shift to the more high-tech designs for the last relic step, it doesn't fit in well with the previous ones and they do feel a bit too "same-y" with nearly identical colour schemes and glows. The end stages of other relics tended to be a bit more unique from each other, even if they fell into the same broad-strokes trends; usually different coloured glows, at the least. I may be sticking to the previous stage for glamours, broadly speaking. Still, they actually are good designs... I just don't think it's the right way to end off the "Manderville Weapons" in particular. If they were leaning more into the technological themes from the beginning of the relic series (Manderville or not), I'd probably be less critical of the design choice. I'm willing to give them a chance, but I can't deny the initial disappointment. And for an interesting observation (and I've seen a few comments leaning towards this in general)... these weapons would be right at home in the Xenoblade Chronicles series, with many of them quite reminiscent of the Kevesi weapons seen in XC3 with the dark metallic base colour and blue glow (the switch to purple not withstanding). That being said, that's a setting that definitely leans more into the sci-fi aspects while still retaining fantasy elements.
Same. I’ve canceled my subscription, and this was kinda the last step. Story has been forgettable since the big arc ended. Expansion lifecycle is too long. picto looks very out of place and should be a limited job over blue and beast. 6 years until the next caster job. Yoshi did a bad job managing 14 this expansion cycle when he was working on Final Fantasy: Devil May Cry. Baldur’s Gate 3 has been more enjoyable the last few months.
just feels like those weapons shouldve been tome weapons... i mean they were, but i mean non relic tome weapons for dawntrail, where solution 9 actually appears and the weapons fit an aesthetic. or raid weapons for the gaming pc raid in dawntrail. just doesnt fit in endwalker and they all look too same-y to be unique relics, rather than raid or tome set weapons
Yeah I like the vfx but im just not a fan of the weapons design themselves. Probably gonna glam right over them when I come back a month before the expansion.
Cool story bro, glad you are having fun elsewhere cause you dont wanna be playing something you're not having fun with; the rest of us are gonna enjoy the solid content the devs have put out.@Bladescorpion83
The circle effect on some blade weapons feel/look like "splash" guards. I will say the dancer weapon is more my style so I will definitely go for that and learn what I can
There no way you got all of em the same design and effect. I feel like the tome design contest relics shouldve been swapped here honestly (ESPECIALLY THAT BLUE MAGEEREEEEERR3R333) but there was some goof by the dev team. Yall. welp, hey 2 stage relic for the first time guys yooooooooooo
@@rinnnnnnnnnnrinRinOnishi yeah most ultimate weps look like doggy doo doo with the over saturated + over cluttered particals everywhere TEA and some TOP weps exception
Monk gloves really remind me of ME3 offensive MultiTool which was basically your armored glove that creates a holographic spike to punch through the enemy.
While the color scheme is very S9, my first thought was these look Omicron/Ultima Thule inspired, or more simply space inspired, which makes sense considering the revelations we’ve gotten in Hildi quests. I love them personally, WHM, BRD, and DNC are my faves.
I don’t play BRD but I am generally always impressed with their flashy weapon design. Even if some have too much glow the BRD weapons just seem to work / look better than the others overall.
Given what we learned about the Mandeville's in the quest line, this design makes perfect sense to me. I attribute this design direction as being less about S9 and more about... *Manderville Quest spoilers ahead* . . . . . . . . . . . . ... the fact that they're descended from space faring aliens. XD I love how the XIV team have just accepted "well, we've acknowledged aliens now. Can't put the lid back on this can of worms."
A bit of a stretch with these being relic weapons, they would fit better as savage weapons for the new DT raid with them being the same color. Oh well, hopefully next roster is unique for each job.
Ooh some of these would fit the Late Allagan glam from PVP. Also, the glow and effects would prolly look great once we step into Solution 9. Hoping we'll get matching armour sets once Arcadion kicks in. :) Who knows, maybe we can get something that would work glam-wise in the S9 dungeon that was teased at the JP Fanfest Keynote.
@@leandrof.m6112 Hey, I dunno if you know, but people are entitled to their opinions. If you wanted to not seem like an ass you could say "I'm glad some people like it, but that design isn't for me." rather than immediately dismissing others.
did he also not just state his opinion? you dont have to preface an opinionated statement by reminding people that its your opinion, if you disagree then just ignore and ratio him@@Alcadria
Shoulda stuck with a job theme. These fit Sage and to a lesser extent Gunbreaker, but not the rest. The fact they are tomestone based instead of in a Eureka / Diadem clone is the nicest thing I can say.
Exactly what I was thinking. I liked a couple of these weapons, but I loved most of lux weapons and will continue to use them over these. Exception *might* be DRK or BRD depending on my mood.
Overall pretty nice design concept I dare say, although some of them clearly lack a certain individuality. I'm just mostly ticked a bit off as a NIN main, cause I feel like the balance of the aesthetics wasn't handled as well as it could have been. The glow doesn't synergyce well with with the rest of the weapon and in it's inactive state, the knives look rather unremarkable. Maybe if they kept the laser blade or whatever while sheaved or a few neon lines...
Do kinda wish there was more variety in the colors but I'm loving the look. At the very least they got me cooking up some glam ideas for solution 9 and the new 8 man
I’m pleased with the War and Bard ones as those are my main classes but damnit is that dragoon weapon the best one. So damn clean. I’m hoping the older relics get a graphical touch up at some point.
Well, these certainly are Endwalker style but it seems to me it fits a lot better with more modern weapon styles like GNB or sage and less with more traditional ones. The books are interesting though
great video! But im extremely disappointed with the edition of relics. This doesnt come remotely close to how the Bozjan - Zadnor relics series. But for those who do like them, props to you :)
I felt let down by the scythe when I got it (reaper main) then I saw a guy with the war weapon and felt a bit better lol. I'm just gonna use the previous step glam for war its my fav weapon glam to date and I was searching for one for so long.
@@willw1991 I know but still. seems with each relic the designs become more and more well they make less freaking sense Like looking back a previous designs for every relic how do we go from dragon head fist weapons to cyber punk punch pokers, big fiery war axe to tin opener I just feel so let down.
@@teacup1322 Tbh I am probably going to do the same or i will just keep using Ragnorok from ARR because lotta the War relics are complete ass imo of course this stuff is subjective but boy does square know how to let someone down.
I love that the effect on this tier is really unique. The energy blade edges on the tank weapons and the glowing/color-changing bowstring are definitely the highlights for me! Also that sneaky snake-sword animation on the greatsword, mmmm... As a RDM main, while I won't be using the rapier since I don't usually go with techno aesthetics, I do love the double-edged, broader blade. Like a cinquedea or gladius! Hope they add some more with that shape in the future!
My only thing with the wings is that they are an actual brick on your back. Kinda throws off a lot of glams, might be easier to keep your weapon invisible while sheathed imo.
i am behind the idea for techy/futuristic relics but why does the glow have to be the exact same color for all of them?? Blue does not fit on almost all of my glams, it's quite upsetting. i need red!!
I like some of these, I wish the glow was a little bit more subdued on most of them though, some of these are a little loud for me but some look really good. I already had a Shulk glam for GNB so this works out lol.
The gnb draw animation is sick. Love that detail. Dragoon looks a bit too flat to me, almost like it got squished. Meanwhile, sage looks kinda big, almost like I have torpedoes on my back. I didn’t know dancers played beyblades Bard is the winner for me here; that bow is awesome. I like monk more than I thought I would, I guess cos monk keeps getting shafted. Love the genii Sam sword, I’ve always wanted to have a futuristic katana Overall I really dig the theme! Can’t wait to see these in Solution9 nightclubs
Not super huge on the particle effects on these but the designs are cool on a lot of these. Highlights for me are the DRG weapon and the Heat Hawk- I-I mean the WAR weapon!
Everyone talks about Solution9 but the Xenoblade fanboy in me can't stop thinking about the monado when looking that Gunbreaker weapon with that hole where the monado symbols would appear.
They can't keep making unique weapons for every stage of every weapon as more and more classes are added and as more content comes out. I don't think its wrong to have a uniform look among the weapons.
@@alenezi989a3 because as they come out with more and more different kind of content it gets harder to put a lot of time in such insignificant side content as the relics. It was different back in A Realm Reborn or Heavensward because the game was way smaller and had less to offer. Now we receive way way more. We expect Deep Dungeons, Field Expeditions, Island sanctuary, Criterion Dungeon, soon Space exploration, a new limit class and much more. Designing a unique Relic for every class takes a lot of time and resources and i doubt that SE sees a reason to put so much resources into it. This is the same reason why we don't have class specific quests anymore and instead unified roll quests.
@@kunstlerischesetwas1284 relics are not insignificant, glamour is a huge part of this game, and the relic quest is one of the biggest content for endgame, that's literally why Endwalker has been practically dead, when Eureka and Bozja were released the game was full you couldn't even log in. If you are a Raider with savage and Ultimate good for you but the vast majority of people don't do those, the Relic quest is the most important end game quest most players. And how these weapons are designed is extremely important to make us want to do these quests. The relic quests and weapons are not in any way,shape or form insignificant.
How do you do these animations? The cutscenes always feature these more elaborate weapon draw animations like in this video, but in game you can only do the quick draw/sheathe animations. Is there a way to do the longer weapon draw animation in game?
YES!! I’ve always wanted a tech based relic! Especially one that glows! The melee and ranged DPS ones are AWESOME, especially the chakrams, they’ll match my dancer glam almost perfectly
I started endwalker early of january this year. Its been 3 weeks since i got to the endwalker msq which is the last one. Now i'm in the post msq for endwalker. Currently in the part where we gotta go on a treasure hunt 😂 I did rush to catch up but i did not skip a single dialogue. Read everything even for side quests. Decided to be patient this time. But i also wanted to make progress so i can be ready for dawntrail because i dont want to miss out for this one by the way things look xd Also i must have that gunblade 😂 i'm a gunbreaker 😏

The chain-sword effect on the DRK weapon!!! I love the Seiryu weapon so much for that, glad to see it being re-used!
Yes! Instantly thought of Ivy from soul caliber lol
I had the same reaction! Now I guess I better finish.
@@Chibipayne exactly what i was thinking. they need a job that uses a whip sword like Ivy's
Would have been perfect without the glow.
It's not the only sword in the game which has this pull out animation
It's about time the WHM weapon finally looked like something I'd want to hold.
whm was actually one of my favories, wasn't a fan of the others tbh
Yep I'm looking forward to using the WHM relic for glams when I pick it up. I'd not really been a big fan of any of the WHM relics until this one so I'm happy
Was just about to say the same thing. Never liked the others, but might actually have to complete a WHM relic for once.
I like how it resembles a flower too, especially the animation with the "petals" opening. Looks like it might be sharp enough to more efficiently draw blood for the blood lily.
Imo there hasn’t been a nice whm staff since Eureka. That Rose Couverte is my all time fave
Interesting, They look like the same tech as the Solution 9 place and apparently Mandervile has been to that part of the world.
I think it's less Manderville has been there, but the culture there was also influenced by the same alien species... that's the first thing I thought of when i saw them.
They look very Omcronian to me.
I thought of solution 9 as well given the color choices. I don't have a futuristic glam yet so I will probably get them for the stats then glam over them.

for the Ninja's daggers, if you use the Draw Emote, each blade's sound effect goes off seperate from each other
Another reason why ninja is best.....happy viper will share armor with it. Going to main those two probably.
The Gunbreaker one so much like the Monado in design.
I didn’t catch that at first, but now that you mention it…
shame there isnt a beam extending from the open part
@@ChibiNinjaVT
Gpose with the blasting zone skill and you're good to go.
Im really feeling it
Yeah one of my first immediate impressions was like a mixture of Xenoblade and Kingdom Hearts vibes in these weapons.
The weapons are cool but I prefer unique designs for each job, this strikes me as trial weapons from same source
Exactly what I was thinking
oh you mean like every other relic in the game? 14 players are really never happy lol
@@deejudanne460 the ones that we get once per expansion and should be more special than trial weapons that we get 7-8 every expansion? Yea, yea that one.

I'm honestly glad to have seen this before putting time into that weapon. Not a fan of the AST one.
The RDM floaty thing chaning gives me hope! One day!
I agree, it should change just like the Red Mage focus
It might be ok. I mean, the RDM focus always changes so it might be ok.
One day they wont forget to visually change MCH lunchbox along with the gun😥
I felt this comment in my soul. 😓
To this day it still pains me that the "amplifier" or whatever still never changes besides the color you dye the weapon... why must we suffer
the mch one is the only one I was looking forward to and now it's the only one I don't want 😭

I actually tried to choose a Spot, that has the contrasting color and good lighting 😉
absolutely sick video, unrelated, that glam is absolutely dope
Overall pretty nice design concept I dare say, although some of them clearly lack a certain individuality. I'm just mostly ticked a bit off as a NIN main, cause I feel like the balance of the aesthetics wasn't handled as well as it could have been. The glow doesn't synergyce well with with the rest of the weapon and in it's inactive state, the knives look rather unremarkable. Maybe if they kept the laser blade or whatever while sheaved or a few neon lines...
These look so good! I'm definitely looking forward to PLD, DRK, MCH and DRG. But more than that I never wanted to pick up SGE more in my life!
The gunblade is literally the manodo from xenoblade
Gives peak Phantasy Star vibes with the bladed weapons XD
Do kinda wish there was more variety in the colors but I'm loving the look. At the very least they got me cooking up some glam ideas for solution 9 and the new 8 man
Thank you. I love this kind of video so soon.
The hexagonal weapon effect…
These might be my favorite relics
MCH got a Destiny handcannon and I'm so up for it
I actually like them this time around, but I can't help feel these look like rejected designs for the TOP weapons lol
Love the red mage and summoner ❤❤
Summoner book looking awesome
With a little white dye you could finally have the Final Phantasy Star Online 2: NGS Ver.2 crossover experience.
Weapon which said circle or disk fits in pretty well is the reaper relic
They all look great except for AST which i main >_<
Looks like i will be stuck with the Eureka relic look for a long time
Im a RDM main and I'm not a fan of mine. But also im not the biggest fan of high tech glams
I’m pleased with the War and Bard ones as those are my main classes but damnit is that dragoon weapon the best one. So damn clean. I’m hoping the older relics get a graphical touch up at some point.
Idk I think bard’s is the coolest. I HATE playing Bard personally, but y’all got a dope relic weapon this time fr
holy shit, im gonna have to get em all, because these are absolutely my vibe!
Man I’m so far behind I haven’t even started this quest line yet these weapons look so nice
Well, these certainly are Endwalker style but it seems to me it fits a lot better with more modern weapon styles like GNB or sage and less with more traditional ones.
The books are interesting though
Thank for the video, also for not tuning 360 camera.which hard to watch before.
Dancer, Ninja, and machinist are the big winner's here.
Any DRK relic still has yet to beat out Cronos Lux for me but these are still pretty cool designs and could make for some cool glam options
Same. I just adore the SHB big glowy sword.
love gunbreaker one, it suits the class so well. amazing. i honestly really love the weapons and think they’ll look amazing in dawntrail.
Gives me energy sword from halo vibes
The GNB one dyed in ruby red is basically the Monado and I love it. And DRK being a whipsword makes me happy, I can finally ditch the Seiryu sword.
great video!
But im extremely disappointed with the edition of relics.
This doesnt come remotely close to how the Bozjan - Zadnor relics series.
But for those who do like them, props to you :)
Look so awesome even if i would wish that blm rod would be not so stiff
As a warrior main I feel like we got shafted the previous stage was a big cool fiery war axe and we ended up with a glorified tin opener...
I mean, you still have the cool fiery war axe... nobody forcing you to keep this look. can just glam over it. personally, i absolutely love my katana
I felt let down by the scythe when I got it (reaper main) then I saw a guy with the war weapon and felt a bit better lol. I'm just gonna use the previous step glam for war its my fav weapon glam to date and I was searching for one for so long.
@@willw1991 I know but still. seems with each relic the designs become more and more well they make less freaking sense Like looking back a previous designs for every relic how do we go from dragon head fist weapons to cyber punk punch pokers, big fiery war axe to tin opener I just feel so let down.
@@teacup1322 Tbh I am probably going to do the same or i will just keep using Ragnorok from ARR because lotta the War relics are complete ass imo of course this stuff is subjective but boy does square know how to let someone down.
I love that the effect on this tier is really unique. The energy blade edges on the tank weapons and the glowing/color-changing bowstring are definitely the highlights for me! Also that sneaky snake-sword animation on the greatsword, mmmm...
As a RDM main, while I won't be using the rapier since I don't usually go with techno aesthetics, I do love the double-edged, broader blade. Like a cinquedea or gladius! Hope they add some more with that shape in the future!
My only thing with the wings is that they are an actual brick on your back. Kinda throws off a lot of glams, might be easier to keep your weapon invisible while sheathed imo.
You have reassured my request for information.
Finally made a Black Mage staff that has a round sphere again. I’m still using my Kaladanda Lux.
The gunbreaker is... Wow thats so cool
Cant believe dancer chakrams went from looking like mystical amulets you go through a whole 4 season show to find, to fucking beyblades 😭
Dark knight gotta little extra love with that draw
i am behind the idea for techy/futuristic relics but why does the glow have to be the exact same color for all of them?? Blue does not fit on almost all of my glams, it's quite upsetting. i need red!!
Hello, may i ask what shorts your character is wearing? looks pretty good
I like some of these, I wish the glow was a little bit more subdued on most of them though, some of these are a little loud for me but some look really good. I already had a Shulk glam for GNB so this works out lol.
The gnb draw animation is sick. Love that detail.
Dragoon looks a bit too flat to me, almost like it got squished.
Meanwhile, sage looks kinda big, almost like I have torpedoes on my back.
I didn’t know dancers played beyblades
Bard is the winner for me here; that bow is awesome.
I like monk more than I thought I would, I guess cos monk keeps getting shafted.
Love the genii Sam sword, I’ve always wanted to have a futuristic katana
Overall I really dig the theme! Can’t wait to see these in Solution9 nightclubs
the sam katana looks like A upgraded ver of UWU katana
Dang I just woke up xD ; definitely love the styles!
Not super huge on the particle effects on these but the designs are cool on a lot of these. Highlights for me are the DRG weapon and the Heat Hawk- I-I mean the WAR weapon!
As a melee zaku main in gundam evo, I approve
These are SICKKK
That reaper one is crazyyy
Like these over some of the previous step for some.
I wanna know what your glam is because its fantastic
Everyone talks about Solution9 but the Xenoblade fanboy in me can't stop thinking about the monado when looking that Gunbreaker weapon with that hole where the monado symbols would appear.
Sadly no variety in color. I also don't think this fits to most jobs visually. Not for me, but at least everyone can have a BiS weapon now.
Hello again :D weapons look great, but the glam is even better :3 Could you tell me what pieces you used pretty please?
Mimesis Lux remains unchanged.
This will complete my cyberpunk Archer glam!!
Relics shouldn't look uniform among all the jobs, these look good as raid or trial weapons, they're disappointing as the final step of a relic
They can't keep making unique weapons for every stage of every weapon as more and more classes are added and as more content comes out. I don't think its wrong to have a uniform look among the weapons.
Ultimate weapond pretty much do the same thing so why not relics?
@kunstlerischesetwas1284 of course they can why can't they? This game is SE's cashcow
@@alenezi989a3 because as they come out with more and more different kind of content it gets harder to put a lot of time in such insignificant side content as the relics. It was different back in A Realm Reborn or Heavensward because the game was way smaller and had less to offer. Now we receive way way more. We expect Deep Dungeons, Field Expeditions, Island sanctuary, Criterion Dungeon, soon Space exploration, a new limit class and much more. Designing a unique Relic for every class takes a lot of time and resources and i doubt that SE sees a reason to put so much resources into it. This is the same reason why we don't have class specific quests anymore and instead unified roll quests.
@@kunstlerischesetwas1284 relics are not insignificant, glamour is a huge part of this game, and the relic quest is one of the biggest content for endgame, that's literally why Endwalker has been practically dead, when Eureka and Bozja were released the game was full you couldn't even log in. If you are a Raider with savage and Ultimate good for you but the vast majority of people don't do those, the Relic quest is the most important end game quest most players. And how these weapons are designed is extremely important to make us want to do these quests. The relic quests and weapons are not in any way,shape or form insignificant.
How do you do these animations? The cutscenes always feature these more elaborate weapon draw animations like in this video, but in game you can only do the quick draw/sheathe animations. Is there a way to do the longer weapon draw animation in game?
Really playing into that cyberpunk theme and I'm all for it
YES!! I’ve always wanted a tech based relic! Especially one that glows! The melee and ranged DPS ones are AWESOME, especially the chakrams, they’ll match my dancer glam almost perfectly
All of the weapons got that Phantasy Star vibe to it. But I love the Sage, BlkMage, Reaper, and Gun Breaker designs a lot!
this weapons should work well with the late alegan sets(pvp)
Unfortunate that all the weapons are glowing with the same color tones T-T
Its way better that way. Last set still makes me sad going from the nice tank relics to whatever the fek the decided to give blm.
@@zentanextcav nah...having different colors give a little bit more variety and identity
@@zentanextcav There will always have a few nice ones and a few weird ones so + -...
RDM can really suffer when our weapon's color clashes with our spell effects
I started endwalker early of january this year. Its been 3 weeks since i got to the endwalker msq which is the last one.
Now i'm in the post msq for endwalker. Currently in the part where we gotta go on a treasure hunt 😂 I did rush to catch up but i did not skip a single dialogue. Read everything even for side quests. Decided to be patient this time.
But i also wanted to make progress so i can be ready for dawntrail because i dont want to miss out for this one by the way things look xd
Also i must have that gunblade 😂 i'm a gunbreaker 😏
Finally, weapons that can match with Late Allegan!
not to seem ungrateful for the video but could we see the weapons in the darker area or at least in shade?
