Hello!
This is the Paladin Weapon reimagined.
Having gone through shadowbringers and all of the bozjan content there seems to be a general consensus (including mine) that the final resistance weapon looks underwhelming, especially the FX when compared to past relics such as the illustrious Lux weapons from Heavensward (insert something something level 60 award winning).
Therefore thanks for the amazing VFX Editor tool by ocealot and support from some of my fc mates i've decided to try and enhance the VFX of the final resistance weapon so they look like they each have unique job-related effects and worth the grind.
I hope you like it!
Who is this mod for? :
For those of us who think that the hologram effects of the Blade's weapon itself is plain and underwhelming.
For those who kinda like the weapon models but felt like the vfx actually made them look weak.
For those who would like things to still look vanilla (like i do) , with just little enhancements.
For those who appreciate the devs' effort and understood what they were trying to go for with the weapons but felt that it just misses the mark.
Concept :
Tried keeping in with the motif of the base weapon's glow, which is mostly "golden, glitter and pulsating". I added a more prominent glow to the blade (works great with pearl white dye now), and some glittering fog, while i looked for the same effect that pulsates radially from the middle out for the shield.
I kept the purple and yellow glow for the original effect but i also tried to implement the base PLD colors for the alternate version, which has been blue while keeping the golden holograms so it doesnt look too monotonous or too out of line with their original intent.
Basically what i did was keep the "cyber" feel of the weapon and merely exaggerated what i think the devs were trying to achieve uniquely with each weapon.
