CT2 gear changed from original concept art?

That looks like terrible garish AION/wow gear. Burn it with fire. The Yojimbo hat is an insult to eyes everywhere.
They need to tone it down a couple of notches with the shoulder pads. This is X-2 level of badness.

As a sidenote the original proposed gear looks amazing and stylish. Whoever designed the latter mess needs practice.

And as has been said, the picture believed to be the 'original' gear was never said to be explicitly for Syrcus Tower, just that it was coming in the patch. Given every new set of Hard dungeons has had new armor associated with it it makes sense that they'd just as likely carry the 'original' armor as Tower. I think the Tower armor shown isn't that bad. Sure, it's garish, but so are the bosses and it makes sen-oh my god, the Bard armor on musketeer! Sign me up (if I was Lominsan)!

It's not because you don't like it that it's bad, i like the Cosplay Tower gears.

really disappointed with the palette swaps, they need unique armor for each class, they are already using duplicates for coil please don't do it for CT as well.

In that image I see 4 and a half sets. Two of the characters are wearing the exact same gear, and 2 others are wearing the same set in different colours.

For every CT boss 1 gear set

Curious how much sake was consumed when coming up with this gear set. Thank God for Glamours..

I think Lady Gaga helped inspire these new outfits.
