Empyrean Weapons: Masamune

Haha, thanks >_>; Was meaning to post that in the other thread but I couldn't find the bloody thing.. just stumbled upon it again while going through a lost section of my picture folders and figured I'd throw it up.

Anyhow, keeping the thread on course. I'm not really going to speculate anymore as the options are just so vast and I wouldn't be surprised if we have it already somewhere.

So to make it simple, we all called it~ (until it's confirmed and then someone has to see if someone really did call it, then + the post)

I'll be dat swapping it asap.

It looks like ***.

It'll be something crazy hard like needing be wielding a relic weapon and get 10 killing blows on some EG Abyss mob that summons Alexander at 10% health while he summons the entire alliance and spams AE attacks.

*** saved.

Am I the only one who actually likes the way Masamune looks? ._.;

Your not alone, trying to find it in the dats and swap it for a GS >_>;

Along with that bloody sword..

I love the way Masamune looks, between the name and the skin there is 0 reason not to get it for me (._.)

Only sword I saw that I liked was the gold Hofud :x

Speaking on that gold Hofud I wonder if that is a Empyrean Weapons also... 0.0

I love the Masamune model....black blade with cobolt blue edge = WIN..the ONLY thing I don't like about it, is the fluke they made on the blade for parrying (or atleast I would think that was the design was like as its similiar to the rdm mythic Marguleise (think thats how its spelled) and that weapon was described by SE as having that fluke for parrying...but other than the small fluke it looks amazing...i'm gonna get one for sure

Personally I think this'll be from a ***weapon (or new weapon) from Abyssea while keeping the TOTM weapons now for another "set" of weapons.

Ya know... wonder if those are like pre Emp weapons?

IMO, wouldn't make sense looking at the two different swords. That and I'm biased because I vastly prefer the Hofud model to the Empyrean sword...

I think, like others have speculated, may indeed have a form of augmentation through Trial of the Magian so as not to have them out dated (since this update only ushers in the first of what seems, of 3 cap increases). But aside from that, I don't think that they have nothing to do with TotM. I mean looking at the previous Add-ons if you read the description of the armor pieces I believe at least Mirke's stated something about being involved with Aht Urgahn's mercenary group. It's SE's way of fully incorporating specific aspects of the game so that they remain constant and not just "bam here it is, no history or connection to anything else"

Again speculation, but I doubt that SE is gonna post weapons obtainable through TotM on one of their add-on specific sites which will be obtained through other means, just seems like common sense to me but again...this is SE we're talking bout.

Nightfyre has infiltrated my server...



Galka and random NPC ruining what would be a screenshot full of the best race.

lmfao and a Galka at that. You have sunk to a new low Night =p

Trying to find info/pic of this masamune weapon can someone direct me in the right direction ty.
NVM^^ found it

Call me a FFVII fanboy, but I like Sephiroths Masamune better. Long as *** skinny blade, don't think FFXI has anything like that yet?

Edit: I do like the model of the new masamune, just think it should be called something else >:o

Ya, that would be FF7 fanboy-ism lol....shitty *** FF game sorry lol


Edit:Edge (from FF4 my favorite) totally had a Masamune ages before Sephiroth did lol

Because you have to be a fanboy to like the sword right? Idiot.

Personally I think the XI Masamune looks like ***and I'd rather some sort of traditional katana but with colors not used in the game (for the handle). Maybe a slightly different design but still looking like a normal katana.

Clanner scum. Enjoy my Atlas.
It'll be the last thing you see.

lol omg, he said "Call me a fanboy"...so I was just joking... lol don't take life too seriously bro lol

Yeah and a giant *** sword essentially used for taking out cavalrymen is going to definetly gonna work out in combat...pfft.
they have sephiroth and all these main characters doing this ***because they want to make them larger than life, mathematically a bigass katana to that extent won't work :/

so try using logic mr. fanboi.

masamune....stupid can opener look -.-

not just any can-opener, the devil's can opener.

my personal thoughts about the Empyrean Weapons.

(incomeing rant!)

mythic and relic weapons are ungodly. and require a TUN of time and a compleate mega-giga ***load of money... when i first saw these i was hopeing they was going to be the break for the "casual" gamer for FFXI to get a weapon that resembles each job individualy.. like AF weapons. and wasn't crap

and had my hopes up that they was going to be at least medum in dificalty to get.... NOT

its most likely going to be another series of the ultra-high end mythic/relic type weapons that agan require ALOT of time. and ... suppriseingly. dosn't cost anything! give them props to that. but then agan. time IS money. and haveing to kill 50 T3 VNMs IN abyssa that is restricted acess for only 30 min day. more/less depending on what you preveusly had stored and how many stones you ahve etc. but the point is. the time is limited. and requires an entire group to be deadicated to helping just 1 iindividual for 50 items... is going to take at least 25 hours of abyssa. assume you kill 1 T3 every 30 min and this only grants 1 person the items needed... thats ALOT of time.. now. if you have a group of 18 and each of them is working on a Empyrean Weapon. its going to take 18x longer! 450 hours!
~18.75 days constent abyssa. and if you can only do 30 min a day. thats... 900 days! whoa! and thats just for the first stage. most likely more to come.

stopped reading after you spelled "ton" wrong

Holy ***, pimplechan has multiplied.

I'll ignore the blindingly incorrect part about VNMs, and just correct the part where you say there's a 30min/day time limit. I currently get 72 minutes worth of inside time per 32 real hours. This is of course not mentioning possible time extentions inside, which coupled with farming gold boxes while exping drastically raises the rate of completed pop sets as well as not costing time(if done right) and giving you that metric *** of exp.

You could have just linked to the guy who all ready finished the Empyrean sword and most Mythics suck making them an E-Peen toy. In all honesty I doubt SE even understands what a good weapon is for a job or for that matter how their game works, so some Emperyeans will end up being job bests while others will be beaten by easy to complete magian trials.

just looked at the new trial they added for lv 85 version of masamune... trial 2117 objective: 50 Cirein-croin's lanterns.
probably dropped from a VNM in the new areas.

but when i saw the lv 85 version of Masamune my head esploded.

heres my own SS
