Overall, it’s an impressive replica of the in-game weapon, and one that any Red Mage player would likely be happy to be given.
Final Fantasy 14 Players Are Envious of the Boss (and the Employee)
Many players have commented on the piece, not only sharing praise for the finished product, but expressing envy for the relationship the boss and employee have. Several joked that the employee was now owed a raise, while others teased Tiny-Sheepherder3279, saying that they were the boss and needed the weapon sent to them. One pointed out that the fan must really love their boss, to which Tiny-Sheepherder3279 explained that that their boss is a “bad ass” who both protects and pushes the team to do their best. Others were curious about3D printingthe weapon for themselves, to which Tiny-Sheepherder3279 noted that they had procured the print STL files fromFused Creations.
As 3D printing becomes more common, remarkable gifts like these may see an uptick as well. Gamers have used 3D printers to recreate everything from Pokemon tobuff Cactuar. Some fans make the 3D design themselves, but others acquire the files online, like Tiny-Sheepherder3279. Printing the item out is just part of the work, though, as a lot of post-processing is needed the majority of the time to get the product to look good. As 3D printers become more affordable and thereby accessible, chances are gaming fans will see even more impressive creations like these, whether the fans choose to keep them for themselves or gift them to a valued friend or co-worker like Tiny-Sheepherder3279 did.
