Since we don't have Ramuh or Titan themed Sets yet, yes :P

Oh wait, Job-specific. I'd say not all of them should be taken from the contest. They still have to resemble the "iconic" look for the Job and so far none of these sets resemble that for AST, BLM, SMN, DRG, etc. They were designed primarily for Tanks and even when they didn't adhere to the mold for that they are still off the mark regarding matching the "iconic" image of the respective Job.

As for winners I hope the Horizon or Luminous Allagan sets make it into the game

You know everyone would try to get it.

Wasn't this a contest for a Tank set? Quite a few of them don't even fit a Tank but every role in general... Feels like people mixed the words glamour and tank during this contest.

Hnnngghh.... the chest piece, the skirt, those boots! This is everything I've wanted in ANY piece of gear.

Indeed, this is my favorite design also,and itwould make a great candidate for a recolor with a white and gold theme, and of course a dyeable version.

I'm not a big fan of it tbh. I'm sick of capes and I don't really like the fur, or the weird shoulder pads. also, incoming "its sexist because females have cleavage window" or some BS that people like to whine about on the forums.

The cape is one thing I was doubtful of being implemented due to clipping. The thing Ilike about it is the simple fact that the female armor is feminine and male is masculine. Ido haveto ask how you can be sick of capes though,there are how many(few) in this game?

This is a good one as well.

See I like that one too. As for the capes, I mean butt capes, cloaks, trench coats. Pretty much all the tank gear in the last several years has had a cape in some form. And i really just dont like capes :P Always had mine turned off in guild wars.

The game I played before this haD capes as seperate items, and they came in a good variety, and since they carried no stats they were pretty well optional.

so im not gonna lie SE take notes cas the fans are putting your armor designs to shame

Honestly I'm not a fan of plate mail (I know unpopular opinion esp for a TANK. sue me)
But I really like this one:

I like a few others too. The one with the fur/brestplate has too much female/male differentiation for me to like it. Like, if guys also got the skirt or girls also got pants then fine... but it's too different
(I say that but there was another with pants/skirt option that I do like in the semi-finalists...though I think it wasn't as drastic of a difference so I could live with it.)
