Why do Twin Adders hunt gears look so horrible?

Are you kidding me? My bow is fabulous! FABULOUS!

Admittedly, I'm not so enamored with the armor, but then again, since I've taken a shine to running around half-naked there's not a whole lot that could convince me to do otherwise. :)

But I don't play that kind of character. I play Immortal Flames. Which means all that is available to me is gear inspired by desert regalia. And as cool as the Maelstrom pieces are, they have very heavy pirate influences that would not at all work for my character design, no matter how hard I wished they did.

I mean hey. If you really like the gear of the other GCs more, why not switch? It'll take a little work to get back to your prior standing, but you won't lose your Adders rank and you'll be able to get the gear you want.

Though I'm not gonna lie. I am really kinda fond of that Twin Adder DoW gear. Especially the helm. That helm is really nice! ...and that sword looks a LOT like FFIX's Excalibur II.

I think the Twin Adder stuff looks great. The full-set isn't really great looking but there are pieces that really stand out as unique. I wear the Circlet and legs from DoM and I get compliments and /tells daily about my look. Honestly I find it hard to find an armor set that I like every single piece of. Like many others have said, you can either avoid buying the gear or change companies.

Because there treehuggers :D
Don't except much form them

It's a taste thing, I love the Adder gear most of them all personally.

why do people like what I don't like

I actually prefer the Twin Adder's gear as well. Even though being Maelstrom myself, I have no intention of attaining the Maelstrom sets. However, if I were adder, I'd be all over it.

I like the model of that legs part but the problem is the skirt is not really white. the leg hoses are not really black either. it's dark green or something. that's the problem, all of these Adders gears have very weird colors like dark brown, dark green, chocobo poop yellow, etc. they're not suit with the other gears. and the full sets are uglier.

it's not even good for partial glamour.

Gotten more compliments from Twin Adder stuff than the others, honestly. I see Maelstrom a lot because the coats are pretty much substitutes for High Allagan.

The yukatas look awkward when extended with anything imo.
