    For me the headpiece and the hands are pretty decent. The rest... I don't know, it's so flat compared to the previous AF, covered in little jewels and details. I definitely don't think Aht Urghan when I see BLU AF3. Apparently fashion the Near East took a dive in the Abyssea dimension. 0_o

    I think the set's a mess for a couple of reasons...the cultural influences are mishmashed...sort of an east-indian turban combined with pants that look like jeans designed for 14-yr old girls (white belt and grey swirleys? seriously?!?) The body piece actually looks kind of Scottish. The boots are just wtf?

    And the shading's mismatched too, the white on the body is very subdued but the boots are like flourescent lights.

    There's certainly no "ps2 limitations" making a set work together, and have the same kind of shading throughout.

    Get over it, it keeps to the theme and style like the other two sets.
    What were you on when you got your Mavi, Mirage, and Magus sets? O_o

    The Mirage and Magus are the same, but reskin yes. Yet the Mavi doesn't even relate too the other sets, hell it doesn't even coordinate properly with the rest of the set lol. There isn't even white on the body, nor matches the style of the rest ofthe pieces. I don't think he's asking for a Paris Fashion show, hell I would just love some god damn continuity lol.

    Honestly, I don't really mind the head, because it matches the shoes, and although it is kind of power ranger status, I can live with it. Its the damn body and pants that drive me up a wall. BLU pants are not supposed to be tights.... yet you could even live with that if the body was super awesome, like some sort of light armor (if you say that a BLU can't wear light armor, I'm going to stab you in the eye, because all I have to say is Pre 50, light armor, and Scorpion harness, yes we can wear it) that makes it look amazing. Yet SE decided to do this pancho look, which imo, is stupid. I mean cool its original, and ya it looks interesting, hell you put that on a Ranger and they would go god damn bananas. Yet it definitely doesn't fit a BLU. The body is reminiscent of a roman emperor's tunic, and the head is a turban.... something just doesn't add up. And again, don't get me started on the color scheme, while some of us that are not design inclined don't mind and learned to get over it. As someone with a background in Graphic Design, this color botching drives me insane when I look at it.

    yet yes, the bright side is.... the stats. Thats about it. Although honestly, if I knew SE was going to go this direction, I would of settled for a somewhat creative reskin like DRK or DRG...

    I like the outfit...but would like it more if it flowed well. The hat and boots gave me the image of the Mirage armor recolored white (which woulda looked pretty awesome imo). Then there was the legs...while I like the color, it felt out of place with the hat and boots. The gloves could go either way, but then there was the body. It just looks like the armor fell into a truck of blue and white paint. I'm not sure if the body is meant to make the white...flow easier? or something...but it really doesn't.

    Yeah, I've grown accustomed to the pointy ear hat, the blue pants, the white wrestler boots, the cool blue hands....but the body still makes me moan. The boosts and refresh you get from it are amazing though...*sigh*
