Ok I've liked the movie The Last Samurai and thought the shogun-like armor was pretty cool in FFXI.
But it saddens me to see ALL sam-specific armor at high levels is like that >< heavy, sturdy shogun armor.
As a Rurouni Kenshin big big big fan, I ask PLEASE please please SE give sam a ronin-style gear. Light kimono + hakama!
I understand this would imply a totally new gear frame and that maybe the game can't support that much moving cloth animation yet. But I've seen so many long coats added recently, I don't think it would be too hard.
The kimono would be just fine if u give it large sleeves like furia/ebur/ebon bliaut does, and I'm sure making the large hakama off a model like tantra pants wouldn't be hard either.
So please no more heavy junk on sams please? ^^ We've got plenty.
