Why does BLM armor need to look bad? Like a homeless person/ jester/joker

I wanted the classic Black Mage shrouded face with glowing eyes, now I look like I'm peeping into a locker room like a creepy homeless person in a funny outfit. On a side note Summoner looks magical.

For some reason they won't get the traditional design right..

But the af2 body looks nice. Me want.

Reminds me of a Conquistador.

Personally do not like that sort of theme - though I suppose I'd feel better if it wasn't attempted to be sold as 'armor' and made more for glamour as someone else mentioned. Even with glamour I'd be disappointed if it reached to the point of what is popularly seen in a number of Korean* MMORPGs (not exclusive or always present, but seems to a common enough to become a stereotype).

*Can't remember what WoW looks like after being spoiled for so long but I imagine they mix in some things like you posted, just really terrible quality lol.

It's perfectly okay to not agree with designs other players like. But I am sure we can all agree some variation on the standard "robe" type armor would be a welcome addition. Even if it is glamour only.

BLM AF2 is probably the worst with SCH...

And i must agree: BLM really have no luck with gear design in this game. Remember the terrible condom body?

At lease there is glamour, but its sad to glamour artifact pieces because they are ridiculous.

Been kinda wondering the same lately....I don't think any1 will cry for a reworked af2 ><

To be honest,.......

LOVE those examples,that's gorgeous armor and we need some like those asap!!! :D

Enough of making BLM look like laughable circus clowns, its almost embarassing.

Idc if its af or glamour (thats totally irrelevant) just please add some gear like the examples.

The more fantasy style trumps 99% of what we have now..the "choice" should at least exist.

I like the BLM set, yes its not as good as the AST or SMN armour, but there is no robe and this is a + for me.
