I hope the PLD disco ball WS is in there along with the RDM Rose one too. Wonder if it's even going to be from these weapons. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 05-02-2008, 10:30 AM | #18 (permalink) | | Brain of Knowledge Join Date: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,208 Style: Dark - Version 5 My Mood: Thanks: 30 Thanked 51x in 37 Posts Gil: 3,141 Bank: 8,116 Total Gil: 11,257 Donate | Re: The Myriad Arms of Balrahn (02/05/2008) Hope they aren't too hard to get. x.x

Death Penalty!
Makes sense. My last two guns were Peacemaker and Coffinmaker. Vincent's equally morbid-sounding ultimate weapon is appropriate. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | The following user says "Thank You" to Omgwtfbbqkitten for above post: | | | 05-02-2008, 11:30 AM | #22 (permalink) | | The S.E.E.S.

I mean, the G.axe and scythe look like polearms; the katana looks like the Galka is trying to use a Tarutaru's scythe; the (THF) dagger looks like a sword (the Xiphos variety, specifically); the axe looks like a bladed hammer; the 'belly bow' shows no evidence of being held any different than a regular xbow...
On the bright side, the gun makes RE4's handcannon seem like a joke. Mainly because it actually is a portable fucking cannon.

The downside is that I know my Nyzul static will want to spam 100 for a while now and I still need my Goliard Cuffs. :/

If there's a relic I'm going to work toward, its gonna be this one. I'm interested to know what the SCH one does though. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | All times are GMT -8.
