Despite the EN name, this FSH ability DOES NOT INCREASE THE CHANCE OF BIG OR LEGENDARY FISH BITING.

What it does is take any large-sized fish (the status, not physical size), and makes it even larger. It's really only seen in CosmEx, Collectables (Chain Shark and Mox Gar), and Record hunts. #FFXIV.

and of course, the hades weapons, which I was honestly surprised to not find archived elsewhere (given the crossover quests were)
they're really well-written and really sad!

nier reincarnation art for zelos, and its weapon story:
Time weathers the heart; the strongest wishes and
anxieties wear away over centuries and fade over eons.
Thus did an ancient spellcaster gave form to feeling,
turning his passion into a weapon.
Two men⁠—great spellcasters⁠—were the only ones left after
the battle that shattered the world. They vowed to repair
what had been lost and bring back their lost children,
friends, and loved ones, even if it should take millennia.
One man had broken his own heart, and knowing this pain,
decided he did not wish to lose it further. But the more he
poured his passion into his mission,
the more his heart blackened and warped.
As the other watched his friend turn martyr, he decided
to preserve himself to accomplish their mission—even if
it meant cutting off a piece of his
own heart so passion did not burn it to ash.

nier reincarnation art for ekplexis, and its weapon story:
Time weathers the heart; the strongest wishes and anxieties
wear away over centuries and fade over eons. Thus did
an ancient spellcaster gave form to feeling,
turning his wonder into a gun.
The spellcaster had once undertaken a reluctant journey,
traveling the world, meeting many people, and seeing
all manner of things. It proved to be a constant
source of wonder and amazement to him.
But the friend who traveled with him is gone. As the
spellcaster gazes over the shattered world, he thinks back
on his journey and chides himself. From now on,
he would live for his mission alone.
He decides to martyr himself for his mission, carving the
wonder from his heart and placing it in a coffin. Despite this,
he can't help but gaze over the land and think how
his friend would be amazed.

nier reincarnation art for misos, and its weapon story:
Time wore away at his heart. His dearest wishes?
His strongest emotions? All faded away with the eons.
And so the ancient mage give form to his
feelings by turning his hatred into a sword.
Though magic is a skill that causes phenomena
through emotion, the mage knew intense emotions
exhausted the heart. As such, he discarded many
of his own so he might use them when the right time came.
The mage slept for an age, guarding his heart.
When he awoke, he walked an illusory city. And as
he gazed at this facsimile, he recalled what he
wanted back—and also the depths of his hatred.
With the fight lost, the mage let go. His envy
became a dagger. His wrath an axe. His hate a
sword. For he believed this power would be
necessary for those who yet forged onward.

@leylin.es

job weapons continued. (the weird typo at the end of thyrus' story was actually in-game as well...)

nier reincarnation art for kiku ichimonji, and its weapon story:
There was once a swordsman unmatched in ability.
He served no lord. Taught no students⁠. Accepted no salary
or honors. Instead, he took a single apprentice
and walked the land in search of justice.
They stopped to help any in need, cutting down evil when they
saw it. But though countless were saved by their
journey of righteousness, the seed of evil had
begun to grow right under the swordsman's nose.
Having seen evil in all its forms, the apprentice fomented
rebellion to change the world at the core.
The swordsman was blamed and exiled,
his beloved weapon replaced by a blunted blade.
The former apprentice killed until his life was taken by a samurai
his old master met in a faraway land and taught his skills to
before passing. Yet none know the weapon the samurai
claimed as a reward was the old swordsman's beloved blade.

nier reincarnation art for thyrus, and its weapon story:
Padjal are horned beings blessed by the elementals.
Despite their youthful appearances, they live
staggeringly long lives. First-class mages, their
staffs are venerated throughout the woods.
This petrified-wood staff was made from a tree
frozen in time, stone not of earth, and a being
from the forest. The Padjal seek to better lives
with magic, which is why they loved the staff so.
Many expected the forest-dwelling Padjal to act as a bridge
between spirits and living. But the staff's last wielder left
to cleanse the outside world, thinking it
the best way to protect the woods.
When the man vanished, many said this was the fate
of all who abandoned the Padjal's purpose. But those
he saved on his journey knew the good he did—
and always with staff in hand and a spring in his step.step.

@leylin.es

was talking to some people about this in-game and it came to my attention that there is a whole generation of xiv players who didn't see the nier rein crossover weapon stories
so i decided to throw them together in an accessible format

nier reincarnation art for vanargand, and its weapon story:
The black mage who wove the arts of destruction thinks of
the calamity to come in 2,300 years. Will oral traditions change?
Will books become ash?
So she sends her own memories into the far future.
In short, the black mage made a bet and won. 2,300 years later,
her memories are revived, and she is surprised to learn the
taboo magic she created has been discovered and learned
by certain other mages.
The mage joins her future adherents to fight monsters who
seek to bring about the calamity by summoning the stars.
Their only hope is her magic of destruction—the very
same magic that already took so many lives.
The mages use the arts of destruction to save the world,
unbeknown to many. But before vanishing, the great dark
mage leaves her pride and joy⁠—her staff—to her disciple.
It is an old thing, with the remains of a monster at its head.

nier reincarnation art for gae bolg, and its weapon story:
In the snowy mountains to the north lies a land that
has warred with dragons for an age. And among its
people, mighty knights known as dragoons raise
their spears high to protect the people.
As a shepherd boy stands before the corpse of his
younger brother in a ruined home, he makes a vow
to slay the black dragon who took all from him. He
then casts aside his crook and takes up a spear.
The former shepherd boy becomes a dragoon. His
eyes are clouded; he speaks little. While knights
shudder to see him slaying dragons with a smile,
his master and friend know he has a warm heart.
His revenge now complete, the dragoon removes his
helm. But he never drops the spear, for he now knows
the dragon sought vengeance for its sister. And
soon, he will call his weapon by the dragon's name.

nier reincarnation art for murgleis, and its weapon story:
Once, a magical civilization flourished. People created factions
and built nations, but soon began to fight over further wealth.
This is how the great war began—one which led to destruction.
After the war, the balance of nature crumbled, as did society.
A great flood consumed the world, killing many and
sparing few; these survivors followed the
stars and fled to the steep mountains.
When old enemies came together at the peaks,
terrible fights broke out over what food remained.
Yet some did not lose hope, calling on
people to share knowledge and obtain a tomorrow for all.
As old enemies came up with new magicks and skills to
fight annihilation, a notable swordsman lifted high his blade and
spread his secrets. Some named this betrayal,
but he remained firm in his beliefs.

nier reincarnation art for shadowbringer, and its weapon story:
There was once a world filled with light which ate
away at life and withered the land. But one rebelled
against fate and fought the light with his black
greatsword—one known as the Warrior of Darkness.
Warped by light, the sin eaters dragged the world
toward destruction. But as the warrior continued his
journey, the light began to eat away at him, and he
lost the strength to wield his greatsword.
When his last foe fell, light spilled from the warrior,
transforming the hero into one who pushed back the
dark. Yet even so, his sword supported him, and he
found the strength to continue on.
He defeated the ancient mage. He snuffed out the
primordial hero. The Warrior of Darkness persevered
through adversity and returned darkness to the sky,
thus the people named his sword "Shadowbringer."
