About the looks of the new raid gear

I love the new Tank set. It's just a shame that it won't be dyable until its Savage equivalent is made obtainable.

Male community demanded dresses for male some years ago

Same. With Coil gear. Because Allagan actually fits the theme of it.

that lancer set on the male Au Ra tho... that is a good looking set!!

I went to the vendor took a look at the caster body piece..and just said "nope". The colors are really not good (healer set looks better) but even the whole piece does not look that great either. Also Omega is in Ala Mhigo and not in Doma, so why asian styled gear?

Most gear that I saw in this expansion really looks lazy or uninspired. Well at least this means that I will only farm the V1 of omega for the accessories and dont need the other ones for glamour.

Lazy and uninspired is stuff like reusing previous models as role-locked filler gear. There's nothing lazy about making a set of themed gear from scratch, and taking inspiration from the 'wrong' place isn't being uninspired so much as just not doing what you personally wanted them to do.

The Omega gear is more a matter of personal taste. Genji armour, however little sense it makes for the setting and wearer, has been in various FF games for ages. I personally love proper bushou armour so I like these even though a lot will look less than wonderful on my character.

Agreed. On DRG a lot of the gear doesn't... seem right.

I haven't seen them in game yet but I think they look wicked in the screenshots. Especially the fending.

Glad they're in the game but as they're quite a specific style (that appears to be very controversial) maybe they'd have been better as the 69 dungeon armour drops - more a fitting place to obtain them no? Too late now though!

I like 'em!

Hideous. I was expecting something cyber-robotic-ish, kinda like ironworks gear. Now we are interdimensional samurais.

I love the set, but just find it weird to have this samurai armors for exchange in Rhalgr's Reach. If it is set in Orthard area, then it will actually suit it more.
