Please no more (tank glam complaint)

Yeah I'd also love more actual helmets. I mean we're tanks! We take hits for a living! Maybe some proper headwear would be nice. At least the ala mhigan set had a chin strap or something. Then again the Omega fending set has gaps on the thighs and chest (at least for female characters not sure about male) so maybe I shouldn't give the circlet too much trouble, it's not a realistic set to begin with.

Tail coats should just be leg pieces anyway like the pvp gear for Striking and nin

"Of all the entries, this was the one that boasted the tightest defense. We’d like to incorporate this solid design for tank equipment in the future."

I hope we get a new tank job with these kind of shields.

But sadly PLD has already taken a bit too much of that identity.

Tank gear? Please?

Maybe add some more gear like:

-cuirass
-harness
-scale mail


More tank gear that ends at the waist?

Please?

I don’t always want to have to either choose between being naked or wearing a blanket.

Thank you.

(Also more shiny or otherwise “higher quality” looking dyable plate armor would be amazing too. A lot of the current metals used in tank gear look worn and don’t dye well.)

I kind of like dress/robes

I would love some kind of spell shield. FFX had a few of these, just little energy barriers. Yuna and Lulu both used them.

I'm forever a little miffed that the tailcoat is part of the TOP piece of armor in the first place. Like dear god, I just want a plateskirt that isn't attached to something big and bulky so I can pair it with a light breastplate. Is halfplate too much to ask for?

and shields! For the love of bahamut every shield looks the same these days, it's only kites and square shields! What happened to round shields and gladiator style weapons and armors? I get that energy shields or stylized kites might be a bit much to dream of, but it's so hard to find anything even remotely Grecian or Roman, let alone Middle Eastern in the supposedly India-Middle Eastern and Greek themed expansion.

There's still only like four or five scimitars in the game. Y'know how hard it is to look like a desert warrior with so little selection? There's like 80 longswords that all look the same visually from a distance, and that homogenization has spread hard into the rest of the tank gearsets.

I cry for the WAR mains who just wanted to look like a barbarian or tribal warlord with pelts and hides. Apparently, if we're not ALL so heavily armored we could break stone paths simply by walking on them, we're not a tank. Stop forcing us to look like the WoL from the trailers.

I really dislike circlets, hope for more closed helmets.
As for big shields, i would love a new class similar to gunlacer from Monster Hunter.

this is so beautiful, my love for heavy armors is immense and i hope se will add some.
