New Crystal Tower gear...

I don't mind copy pasted gear with color changes if it is just trash gear for helping you level up. But dungeon gear should be noticeable and stand out more, so the player feels accomplished when they beat that dungeon for the 30th time and claim that final piece of the set! People will see that player and think.. "hey, that person farmed their entire set from X dungeon, It looks so awesome!!"
From a design aspect, the most useful and stylish gear should come from dungeons or be the most time consuming to attain, while gear that is just thrown together in crafting in a matter of minutes should be less pleasing to the eye... This would create more incentive for players to try and get that gear, instead of the dungeon becoming a detested obstacle to clear as fast as you can so you don't look like a fashion show catwalk disaster...

For Casters and healers, Vanya body looks 10x better than that disgusting darklight cowl crap.

Dare I say Vanya is more pleasing to look at than all the i90 caster gear as well.

Except Allagan pants. Those are alright.

Just saying, it takes way longer to get weaver to 50, gear it, meld it, and level all the other classes needed to reliably hq the vanya set than it does to farm darklight. So if it should look better based on effort to acquire, i'd say crafted should look pretty awesome.

The Dragoons is terrible, but up until this point we've had all the best looking gear. Can't win 'em all :)
I agree that the monk's is the best, however when ninja gets added to the game, what are they are going to wear?!

I like the onion knight look. I am looking forward to getting it for my dragoon (once I get it to lvl 50).

I actually like the allagan caster gear look.

here's my view:
1.tank gear is a reskinned pally af with a cloth jacket giving it a not so tough armor image
2. drg gear (assuming the most right one) is weird somehow reminds me of kamen rider series, besides the armor scaled like it was worn by a roe not an elezen?
3. both healer and caster gear's metal plates ornament looks like a reskinned allagan version
4. brd gear is too flashy (since when an archer is too flashy rather than camouflaged?)
5.mnk gear is too ninja like and why the hell a monk wears an eyepatch not a visor eyepatch thing?

I thought tank one is the right one, while dragoon is the roe?

The tank is the one to the far right. That is the warrior of light gear.

I'm still waiting for "End Game" Gear. So far everything they have brought out does not seem "End Game" to me. Where is our + to specific class skills? Where is + / - Threat(enmity) on Tank / Healer/DD Roles?

Or even things like Increased TP Gain on certain slots? They have already mentioned that Resistances don't really make that big of a difference, why do the add Resistance to Primal Weapons, and not lets say Elemental Aspect Damage?

I'm waiting Yoshi ... Please come through.

On a side note, we are 3 Months into the Game and we already have Extreme Mode Primals, will they really be 'Extreme' by 2.2? or by Xpac?

I believe Yoshi said something about the gear progression currently being basically only vertical, they don't want to make the gear choices to large immediately so new players have an easier time choosing their "good' pieces. As the game progresses and people learn more about it we should get more choices to pick from I think. It does kind of bother me that the resistances seem really pointless, but hey who knows the games still new and I'm sure we have plenty of changes to come in the game.

In before someone calls me out on contradicting myself on wanting better End Game Gear but not Extreme Primal yet.

It's 1 drop per run, not week. There is no lock-out. Essentially, you can run CT as many times as you can fit into your sleep cycle.
I was the wrongest.

Can't believe people are complaining about this.

People are complaining a few threads down about how shitty Darklight is with their no /hood or /visor option. Then CT gear comes out that is an upgrade to it WITH separate pieces...and they STILL complain. COME ON PEOPLE.

I personally think they all look awesome. Yes, some of them are revamped old gear, but they did a good job choosing the good sets. I've always liked the BattleMage gear (even better than AF), and I'm glad it's making a reskinned appearance.

I agree with you. I love how the CT gear looks.

1. MONK's looks badass, rocking the ninja-ish look, could do without the eyepatch though, but still, it looks badass
2. WHM looks good. ^^
3. I think the BRD's could use some work, I think the Black and Red look would have looked better on it.
3. BLM...Erm....I'm not going there on that O_o
4. The Warrior of Light outfit is ok.
5. The Blue outfit looks so so, I'll give it that.

Other than that, I've got nothing else to say about them.

Everything excluding the Warrior/Paladin(IDK) and the Monk look like SE designers are running out of ideas...

Still cant figure out with is the BRD,WHM,BLM,LNC,SMN or SCH...(unless they're cross-class gear)
The red and white looks like it belongs on a RDM!
...


Not sure if they're getting resources from the French or they just tired and they're pulling cra.... (ahem)
Need to hire a new creative/design team yo!


:rolleyes:

Caster gear: Red= BLM/SMN ; White=WHM/SCH. Prett much like Allagan. Yes, again no class specific gear.
The second from the left instead is BRD, and the big blue roe is DRG.

How many times do I have to tell people this; the dragoon gear is the onion knight gear.
