Save our pugs dignity.

I'd bet they won't become monks. I'd say monk might be the/one of the advanced job(s) unlocked by PGL, just like thief also has a potential chance of coming from pugilist. I'm sure monks will dress accordly, using black belts, gis, shaolin robes, bandages or any other "martial arts" clothes they should need.

However, the correct is to assume that there will be PGL and monks, not being like those promotion trees some MMO use, because FF serie usually keep the previous classes/jobs even after new one was unlocked, which is very good IMO...i always prefered stuff being added than replaced.

If they will go with class change/growth where you can evolve into a monk or other possible choices ... I suppose I would be okay with shaolin robes. But please no karate/judo style kemonos. That would look just wrong in this game. Not to mention completly off wordly to Erozea :P

Still personal preferance is leather though for me. Just looks much better then some cloth.

Don't forget that Monks could wear leather in FF11 too.
If you've seen the Monk gear in FF11 then you know that Monk "Robes" are very nice looking gear, nothing like Shaolin stuff (which I don't like either).
They would totally fit in FFXIV world, dont forget that Pugilist leather looks right now, is almost exactly like the FFXI monk, the only difference is in the Prirate looks, but we all should know by now that these are temporary - early level looks and not something class defining.

Also remember the Dark Knight - Black mage artworks in FFXIV?
They look like their FFXI counterparts but with more detail, I am convinced that Monk-Pugilist will look like that also, unless (like the other guy in previous post has already said) Monk is gonna be a new Class and not an evolved Pugilist.

Have a look please:

On my pugilist I wear a Leather Subligar black, Toadskin Harness black, and Leather Espadrilles black.
I rather like it =x
The subligar grew on me, though I hate the two lower level ones.
What I would like to see though is the next level up on subligar have inner thigh covers, and maybe kneepads, or leather knee covers? Hell, maybe even have covering in the fashion that the leather does now (with uncovered areas here and there, or buckles), but all the way down the leg down to the shin? I'd hope if they did that though that they would keep it rather skin tight.
I'm really picky about my pants I guess >.> I hate the shapes of so many of them, like the other tight pants in the game.

ALSO I WANT TOADSKIN ESPADRILLES GDMMIT My favorite foot wear item's highest level variant is r27.. how lame is that?

One thing I would love to see is a Head Gear item like that low level pugilist item from FF11 =0 Maybe a Hachimaki

Anyways, I wouldnt mind if the pugilist gear stayed tight leather and buckles, but it wouldnt hurt to cover up a bit

To tell the truth, I never played FF11. A friend of mine got me into FFXIV. So I do not have any idea or backround of the previous series. I am pretty much fresh into the FF franchise.

I agree with you on pirate looks. My friend keeps bugging me to buy the Bucaneers' set. I refuse on two points. First I do not like the looks of it, and Second is that practicality of it is bad. The stats I have on my current gear is by far out run any of the Bucaneers' items.

I think what I would like to see more is leather gear with metal pads here and there. I think I could go with couple of those looks from those pics. One thing is defent, is that SE should make more gear. It is always good to have bigger variety. And player can get bigger indiviuality that way.

I wouldn't mind some metal here and there. Could look good. Thing I don't like is the total bondage look. Hell, we look like voldo from Soul Caliber. I hate our garbs. It's not even a matter of wanting a gi of some kind. I just want to look like a warrior... of SOME kind. Instead I feel like I should be wielding a whip and gag-ball.

I agree with you on that.
I dont really mind the looks so much, but these items are OMG useless.
On top of that their price is ridiculous, only thing worth wearing is Bucaneer boots + Bucaneer shirt, but both at the same time not just one of them individualy or else they do not compare to Harrier jacket, or Padded leather duckbills (price > usability)...
They are not even final gear, I would pay 500k gil for them at most.

Looking forward to the class specific gear.

Lol absolutely quoted for truth! I remember when I put on leather subligar and a leather harness and I was like....the hell is this? Thankfully the scouts/harriers jacket actually look good and there are a few other leg options, but even still I too think we need more variety of armor choices (i'm sure all classes do to some degree) and not ones that make me think my character loves BDSM.

Well, PGL will always have the Shirt + Sarouel combo! ^^ It looks very nice with some longsash/safari belt, some calligae and fingerless gloves/half gloves ^^

Only real advantage from jackets and harnesses over cloth armor is that we actually don't have the 40+ version of them.

This games needs so much more diversity on gear options, there's no way to tell one class from another one with out looking at their weapon. Other games distinguish one class from another mainly by gear looks, i hope SE does the same eventually.
