This time casters and healers get long coats instead of robes. The pants (or boots) are visible.

Still holding out for the day when we have Rydia's outfit as a glamour.

Can we have some armor WITHOUT skirts please? Why have leg slots at all? >_>

i like most of them too
except the one Roe wearing, the one i guess is dragoon and the one Elezen wearing

The gear does look kind of bland.

No reason to do Alexander if that was the case 'w'

Unless you are rocking a full 210 set, some of these pieces could very well be better than the antiquated eso pieces.

Isn't that from Alex savage not the regular mode? Which I assume you mean since they are different. Me personally I'm not a big raider so with eso gear and then void ark gear don't see much point in Alexander anyways unless person wants to do savage.

Okay... so if they look bland, what would have made them look better? I mean, for me, they look fine. No god-awful glows, no impractically huge shoulders. Clearly takes a cue from the boss if that one picture is a clue (Diabolos got a promotion!). Unless you want god-awful glows and impractically huge elements...

Guess one person bland is another person great and vise versa for the glow

more possible ilevel 200, not upgradeable.

24 man raid was always better than lowest tome gear and CT2 and CT3 was same ilevel as the highest tome gear at that time (100 and 120)

Well that changes everything!

Lemme just spin the camera around and lock it at my front instead of it facing my back...

What's more, the back appears to be more of a "flap" than wrapping around.

Delightful.

i would do it if they drop accessories

If FFXI is any example to go by you can expect this trend to continue. Every game does it honestly. It's like palette swapping back in the 16bit era.

I love to be a little into my character, hence my name muhahahaha

*as per our chances of being a real bad guy, Yoshi stated that we will always be the Warrior of light. >.<

I like how it looks...

Can I get a closer look at the DRG and Tanke Gear? Because I definitely think the Caster Gear's Male Version may go well on Summoner. My Summoner could definitely use a trench coat.

(I obviously have a thing for Trench Coats)

If they hold true to history, these will be i200, not upgradeable, and have different secondaries than the Eso gear.

You can, it'd be more simple, and you need high level retainers, but you can...

This should be the dragoon set and the tank set

Idk, I like them. Especially the caster set.

I don't know... perhaps not sharing very similar colours? Yeah, that would be great. Let's take a look at the Crystal Tower set, do these all share the same colour? No. Are they all unique and interesting? Definitely.

Am I the only one who's tired of the one shoulder trend for Ninjas? When I first saw a piece with one shoulder piece it was like "cool, finally something different from WoW", but when just about every recent set has had one shoulder piece? It does get old. Why do we only have one, does our other shoulder not require protection? If it's due to their weight, why not wear none at all? You can have particle effects and glows while not going overboard, my favourite Rogue set from WoW for example, Tier 16.

Easily see the copy n paste they did with the Orthodox set.

I find the colors fit perfect the Ark theme. Dark and black with a bit purple.

That's true but it's unfortunate we have the same dark themed item sets two times in a row.

I'd actualy prefer mORE pallette swaps, of of the Crimson and Royal gear (and only because for some inane reason SE never wants to may 24-man raid gear dyable)

Glamour is your friend.

That's due to the theme of the areas we've been going into.

I don't know if you've seen the recent LFR sets, but they're not overboard by any means. Impractical, perhaps, but that applies to 90% of the FFXIV armour sets and weapons too.

I'd definitely love a dyeable version of those sets, that's for sure.

The thing is, they don't have to look like the environment's theme. Diabolos is red and black, why can't we get a red and black armour set? I'd prefer each set be designed off of a mob/boss to be honest. That makes more sense, since we're getting the armour from them and not carving out the ship and making armour that way.

The only thing I'm seeing from the LFR sets (they're probably the wrong ones, tbh) is typical Blizzard pauldrons the size of shields and massive shoulder spikes. Impractical is in nearly every fantasy game ever, but Blizzard and those they've inspired take designs to a very unique height. There's nothing wrong with it, but I personally dislike the look of it. I stray away from the more extreme designs in XIV as well.

Which leads to your other point. We had gear based off boss design. And besides the dress, Syrcus tower gear glamours didn't last very long and even the dress died out fairly quickly. I very rarely run across anyone glamouring a piece of any of those sets.

As opposed to the World of Darkness sets which are for the most part, boring? The only armour set I see from WoD that's glamoured is the tank one, and that's due to being the only one that actually looks amazing. Syrcus Tower gear was a mess, I'm asking for them to be based off the boss, not a direct rip of their body (that MNK set... shudders). The problem lies in the sets being poorly designed in the end, I'd willing to every last bit of my gil that the majority of these sets will barely be seen in the open world once 3.2 rolls around.

As for the LFR sets, yeah the massive Blizzard pauldrons still exist, but they're more mild than most.

The thing is that when I see that, I can see that it clearly belongs to a Hunter, it fits their theme incredibly well. How does that MNK/NIN gear even look like something they'd wear? Those thigh boots would sure restrict mobility, the unnecessary shoulder pad, that ridiculously ugly hat, etc. The casters look like they're wearing bard gear, and the bard looks like they're wearing some dark scholar's shredded clothes (who thought it would be a good idea to put on shredded clothes to begin with?).

Untill now I thought that it was the aiming gear.
Except eso and old relic gear nothing fits my role tbh..

The only hunter aspect I see is the apparent animal pelt. I don't think full plate when I think Hunter. I think cloth and light leather. And certainly not restricted visibility.

By virtue of not being entirely plate armor with horrifically restricted visibility, it's vastly more viable than your hunter example. I can't speak for thigh boots being restraining because I've never worn thigh boots. Most hats in any game ever are ugly. And I'll give you the shredded cloths bit, even if I can appreciate it aesthetically.

What we could use is more crafted glamour. Give jobs access to models that weren't available to them before (kirimu coat for the MNK/NIN) or new models entirely. I want an aranche shirt for my MCH :l.

It's imo better than reusing the theme/coloring scheme over and over; while it does fit, it seems more of the same when we have WoD and the law gear.
