I'm tired of everything and everyone looking like pilgrims.

haha, the reasoning behind spelling burrito wrong was because of the character limits put on names in the older games... so I had to cut an "r" out lol. It has been tradition to just keep it the way it is.

Yeah, your name is great. Burito haha. Instantly derailed my topic though. Though, what kind of things would everyone like to see in the future installments within the gear category?

It seems like you're not really being rewarded with your pillow like arms, and your weird jackets made of linen. Ocassionally they throw some plate armor, and some chain-mail on an item, but still... it doesn't look cool enough to make you feel awesome. I'm not saying go WoW and have glowing skull pauldrons, but there should be a massive change in the overall image of your character as you level up. I want spikes, I want colors, I want shiny glass stuff, I want badass helmets, I just want to look cool.

I think it all boils down to me wanting to look like a Final Fantasy character. Not some poor serf. Wouldn't it be sweet to look like Cecil or Gabranth? Hell, it'd be sweet to look like Bartz or even something like Rikku.

Final Fantasy has a long line of visual badassery when it come to the characters overall image, so what happen here? Even in FFXI you look moderately awesome by the time you're level 20. And the 'cool' factor of your gear goes up like a J-curve. I just want to have another MMO that I can fall in love with. FFXI filled that role for me 5 years ago, but then it got all crazy. FFXI did something for me that no game has done before. While I was playing I felt like I mattered in the world. And it was fun getting together with random people and working together. I didn't like endgame too much but I loved partying and skillchaining, and making the best possible party setups. I had 3 Lv.75s and none of them were necessarily awesome. I was never outfitted in Homam gear, or the cool armor from Aht Urghan. I never had the weapons that were millions of Gil, but I still had fun because the game was incredibly fun before the whole endgame thing.

I just want to have fun again... ; ;

I personally wouldn't mind to have Braska or Seymour's outfit from FFX. :3

Armor that better suits the classes appeal. If I'm a PLD then I want heavy white shiny armor. If I'm a War then I wan't Bad-arse heavy armor that looks like it could eat someone. And so on and so forth...

I'm totally with you Buritoslicer. On top of that, I hope it's more colorful. Not crazy colorful. Just... not.. brown... I swear everyone I see is outfitted in brown things. Another thing! I have to say the whole pirate look is pretty lame. It's like a spin-off of the Corsair job in FFXI.

The pirate look for Limsa is actually pretty good, I love that place, much better then Ul'dah where everything is basically located close together. Limsa is my fav city hands down!

LOL! Excuses!

I do like the current armours and I also agree we need more variety of choice at every level. Of course, we are set in a medieval-magitek world, we are bound to have plenty of armours made of fabrics, but that also means the setting opens for more different types of armours at every level.

I don't think we all look like pilgrims, but I do like the idea of a wide variety of choice.

I think due to the system they have now there limit to copy/paste too 1.20,.
