Definitely a glitch (which doesn't exist in the console versions, mind you). It's not really an idle thing, it depends which side of the spear is facing the camera, from what I've noticed. One side shows everything, the other one doesn't, so maybe this is a backface culling issue? Who knows.

Also, this is the only object in the game with this issue, I didn't notice it on anything else.

Crud, why couldn't it have afflicted Lulu's moogle or something, she's useless late in the game. ) :

I have this glitch as well. It showed the bug in the cutscene where I obtained the weapon, as well as every viewing of the weapon since.

You can see the feathers and the radials of the spearhead when viewing it from Kimahri's left side, but looking at it fromt he opposing side makes those parts invisible.

Knowing how texturing and such works, It's more likely that when they did the HD remaster, they forgot to connect something and someone didn't check their work. Lazy texture artist issue. Very unlikely to be an actual bug.

Are anyone else not affected by this bug? Because this topic is old and it seems no modder fixed it yet and there is no one talking about this

It is a tiny graphical glitch that most people will never even have a chance to see (most people do not play to the post-game content), that is also hard to notice and has not effect on gameplay.
And that nobody has necroed this thread in the past 5 years should also be a hint.

I just got mine and it glitched out too lol--- I don't suppose this'll be fixed thru "verify integrity"?

No, this just seems to be a bug with this version rather than file damage.

It's mildly annoying, but it really isn't a big deal, all things considered. Doubly so because who even uses Kimahri at that stage of the game :P

I see.. though in some angles the Spirit Lance appears complete lol

I know this is a very old thread, but is anyone else having graphical glitches with the Longinus (also called Spirit lance) weapon in Kimhari?
I'm playing on SteamDeck and I'm getting the same glitch, is this something that's happening on other GPUs?
I'm just wondering if it's from the GPU drivers.

I believe it's universal with the Steam version at least; can't say how it is on console versions. I don't think it's driver-related or GPU-based.

Why no one fixes this?

Because people don't work for free and this is such a minor, trivial, purely cosmetic detail.

YOU could fix it. Read tutorials on modding, rip the textures, replace them, make a mod for everyone to fix this issue. Why don't you do that? ;)

"Why has no one spent their time and money to fix this for me?!"

"SO RUDE, BLOCKED!"

Thanks for the reply.
I actually contacted Square-Enix customer support about this bug last month.
They said "we'll check the bug, maybe we'll make a patch", but after I contacted them I was thinking that maybe this is a GPU driver derived bug (i.e. Square Enix can't fix it), so I'm relieved to know this isn't the case!
