Ahh I got ya now, I haven't really stared at it long enough to care. lol

Really? I just love the CT caster gear. My only complaint is that SE should make different designs for caster/healer classes, because DL, Allagan and CT gear are just the same but they only changed its colors from white to black. But, look at them, they're amazing!

Honestly the BLM robe doesn't fit the theme of a BLM. It looks like something a red Mage would wear. I can't figure out why SE chose red as the go to color for that set.

Because it's not BLM gear... It's caster dps gear, summoners wear it too.

As for the resolution of the textures.. yea, it's crap, Much older mmos have much better resolutions on their textures so I don't understand their logic, DX11 support should have little to do with it, especially if they add a high resolution pack when dx11 support is available, PS3 will still have the crap textures anyway so they could as well put them now..

I'm just guessing the engine is lacking and they're still coding stuff in and they can't get it to work efficiently with higher resolution textures.. or something. Like the performance would tank without any logical reason, since other engines support high resolution textures with dozens/hundreds of people on screen (with a smart distance decay).

Anyway, looking forward to the texture upgrade, as it stands they looks like crap when you zoom in.

Black mage is a mage that uses black magicks... the color of their robes is irrelevant.
The usual black mage has blue robes.

And yeah, the Royal Robe looks awesome with the Thyrus. But it doesn't goes well with scholar... worse in my case since I use that horrible relic Mini-skirt.

Red Mage wouldn't wear that. It doesn't have a feathered chapeau nor is it cool enough for Red Mage!

Besides, it's not supposed to fit the BLM theme. The only gear that really does for any job is their AF/AF1.5 and DL for a couple jobs. All opinion of course, opinion isn't fact and there are probably people who will disagree lol.

I don't think it looks bad on SCH. It fits nicely with Deus Ex Gratia's design.

*Please excuse the poor quality*

I'm certain this is why we'll never be able to dye this gear. x.x Their laziness in designing different models is frustrating. (On a lighter note - I love the shoe model for the CT cloth gear...)

Regarding low resolution textures: Wasn't there a dev post (or a Yoshi post?) a while back that said they did not plan on increasing texture quality, even with the DX11 package? I remember being disappointed by it, but I can't recall where the post was.

Speaking of lazy modeling in CT it's not just in the caster and healer sets, the drg and brd gear are the exact same models excluding the helmet they're just recolours >_<.

I agree, if you view them up close they look terrible.
