Costume system

[Umichi]

And honestly everyone does not look the same.. when I inspect gear I see a great variety of choices. especially now, in the past it might of been true when everyone was clamouring for AF3 gear and other endgame gear.. but the sad fact also is the peiople you see wearing all the same stuff are also the ones who probably number crunch i.e min/max or listen to what they are told to wear, or are so far ahead of the curve gear wise they have no other choices or all of the above.

So you're going to tell me with a straight face: that most paladins aren't sporting the ogier/laeraedr gear, most DRK's aren't sporting things like mekira, and mages aren't wearing that new robe? Also thieves wearing the new Thurandaut (check spelling), Ocelome/Toci, oh and let's not forget the whole fact that most of the gear is so....strange looking, I can't ever picture a White Mage wearing some of it, because tbh it looks far too gloomy. Thief/Dancer/Blue Mage wearing that Toci harness, looks more barbaric than what I typically picture them in.

The idea of a costume system is to let the individual express their taste, are you going to downplay it because you don't like it but the majority of the community does? I don't see likes hardly on your posts Umichi, at least my ideas (for the most part) are typically harmless to ingame mechanics, and only offer vanity to a game that the players deserve to express themselves, this is an online avatar, FFXI is about number crunching, but I remember when jobs actually looked like what their name suggested, and not some guy/girl wearing a feathered hat/harness on 4 different classes.

So these people are not allowed to look unique?
