Talk:Velvet's Weapon/@comment-4759626-20160207223118/@comment-68.185.59.76-20160209035134

No, it wasn't. It's a good weapon, but it wasn't worth the wait. One of the things I love about RWBY are the visuals for the weapons, and this one just doesn't measure up. It's a bunch of wire frames of already existing models drawn with particle effects. When it comes to the moves she used, they just resued the animations they came up with for the other characters. They made us wait a full year for something they put almost zero effort into.

After all they effort they put into coming up with Velvet's look, I would have thought they would have put some effort into her weapon. Yet, that's not even the worst part.

At the end of season two, they made it sound like her weapon was going to be a real treat. That comment from Coco made it sound like this was something that received a lot of effort.

This would have been a decent weapon if they hadn't built up the hype. Most of the time, I'm ok with animators taking short cuts; their jobs take a lot of work. This was not one of those cases.
