"Welcome to The World."Overview:I really wanted to get another //GU weapon in, and while I know there are more iconic weapons to bring over first, I have a bit of a soft spot for this one.
Twilight (officially known as 'Demon Slice' in the English version of the //GU games, which is apparently a mistranslation) is the weapon wielded by Ovan in pretty much every single scene he's in, both in the games and also in the //ROOTS anime.
Once again, I've used the model and textures from the PS3 game .hack//VERSUS, so it's a higher poly and higher-resolution version than the one from the actual GU games.
Notes:- Because of how Gunblades are held in FFXIV, I had to tweak the model a bit so that the grip was less bent; the original model has a very distinct bend in the grip because Ovan kind of holds it like it's a handgun more than a sword, and that just wouldn't work in XIV without major clipping issues.
- I made an ID map for the sword, so most parts of it are broken into individual sections and can be adjusted (roughness/metallic/etc) as you would like, if you're the sort of person that likes tweaking with stuff in Advanced Editing.
- It's using a diffuse map, so while you can technically recolor it in Advanced Editing, it's not gonna look great if you don't keep the default colors. If I can figure out how to make it dyable without losing the original colors, I'll update the mod and let you all know! (and if you happen to know how to do that, feel free to reach out c:)
