Why pick them for those then? That's supposed to be the potential winners, so why include some that don't go by the rules? It's not just female only, some designs don't incluse all armor parts and some aare front view only. That's what frustrates me about the selection. I'd rather see more designs that can actually be implemented than pretty honorary mentions that can't even be bothered to fulfill the requrements.Quote:

thank you mature for liking my heal set
serilda i totally understand your point, mostly about the halfnude outfits, but the same goes to sets being created for male chars only. regarding mine i thought about m+f auras and how it would look colored in metal grey/black. the last 2 days i was a crying mess, i had to finish the whole back in one day to get it done in time. i'm sure other contestants would have added both gender versions with changes and dif colors. everyone wanted more metal and less ball dresses, no white but lots of feathers. you're trying to think of polygons and hair/sitting glitches and make it in the right proportions of a real game char so it would still look good ingame. its obvious that some outfits on a lala would look ridiculous on a male roga to a female aura. while some are more specific towards a race/gender, you cant make it perfect for everyone, except you create details for 10 sets in one month and im sorry that i couldnt do that in such a time =/ -
03-18-2017, 08:26 AMLadyKairiI mean you don't have to show both genders in your design. They state in the rules that if you don't show both genders, changes may be made to your design to fit the other gender.Quote:

I was shaking with happiness when one of my friends messaged me during work to tell me that one of my designs made it to the top 52 casters!
Here's mine:
http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/range...hSrgMGk/35.jpg
I was extremely moved by FFVI when I first played it, so I thought about Yoshitaka Amano's beautiful artwork when I came up with this design.
I submitted two others that did not make it:

Debonair Set of Casting. This one was my personal favorite! I was convinced that this was my strongest entry, haha.
http://68.media.tumblr.com/7708b15f3...a60o3_1280.jpg
Celestial Set of Healing. I feel like I ran out of time for this one, so I'm not completely satisfied with it. I'm very happy to see so many fantastic healer designs in the finalists instead. -

Just to talk some more about the designs, I LOVE the theme of this one.

The Fire/Ice duality would go great with BLM. Not so much with SMN and RDM sadly. -
03-18-2017, 10:18 AMCaptainLagbeard
I am terrible at drawing, and not really good at designing stuff... But then I see a travesty like this in the finalists, I see the bar is practically non-existent.
But overall, there are some good ones there that I wouldn't mind seeing in-game. -
03-18-2017, 10:56 AMAstrall_C
These were my entries. I don't know how the judging system works but I really though I had a chance with my chocobo getup.

But honestly, I'm really upset that many entries were snubbed for the motchi one. Don't get me wrong, my beef is not with the artist - I think from the motchi entry we have all been Meme'd by Squeenix. -
03-18-2017, 11:09 AMjake200135
I actually really liked this one because it reminds me of Raven's outfit from Gravity Rush but with a bit of Horizon Zero Dawn thrown in.

People really need to create these things on a model that's at least somewhat close to our in-game models, otherwise it won't translate into the game like people want it, much like in the hairstyle contest.
There were a lot of good entries, but a lot of them were done in a style that differs too much from the game's, and there's no telling how it would actually look within the game.
The amateur artists actually do a pretty great job of sticking to the mold, but the more talented sort tend to be more flagrant with their own style.
While i wasn't a huge fan of this guy's design, i like how just shopped it over a picture of actual in-game characters to give us the best idea of how it would appear. -
03-18-2017, 12:39 PMEliteZeon
Eh, I tried, here is my entry that didn't make it in at all.
Ah well... perhaps it didn't fit too well, and I am not very professional in art. I'm happy I was allowed to participate though.

I like a decent amount of the entries, but I have to admit a majority of them do look too female oriented. I think the better entries are the ones that incorporate a male and female model. But sometimes the outfits look too drastic to be a single item, similar to the makai armour we have from the Garo event.
Anyways, since most people are sharing their entries I guess I can show mine, admittedly i procrastinated, so I had to rush, and make it a bit more simplistic, but I had fun, XD, lol.

03-18-2017, 03:10 PMGalacticwaffle
The mistake that most of the ppl do is that they make a gear for a male and a version for the female, doing minor changes and that, but the idea is to make a single gear that can look good in two genders, like the odin gear, the model adapts to the character gender model.
I guess.
I have a bittersweet taste with my design since I wanted to add more details or coloring but the time was against me, but anyways I decided to send the entry anyways. -
03-18-2017, 03:16 PMTexa
I'm meh on all of the caster gear sets but I really love the nurse set for healers.
The mochi reminds me of the time SE had a big contest for a new FF X-2 dressphere and the winning entry was designed by an 8 year old

So.. anyone else notice the one below is waaaay too similar to the assassin leather gear from Aion? It immediately stood out to me, and I don't even play that game anymore.

03-18-2017, 08:57 PMSerildaWow, that would look superb on anyone! You should submit something similar for the inevitable DPS contest in future as it would be great to have something like that in the game.Quote:

Unlike the tank contest.
There are LOADS of magic/healer ones I like so many are beautiful and amazing, honestly I wish SE was this creative when it came to gear (the only HW tome sets I've liked are the AF.)
I know its being snotty, but I wish people who drawn for just one gender would have drawn for both.
My favourites are:

I got a bit frustrated because I felt in the end, there was no need to loose time to do any turn around, be in the style and proportion of SE, neither into following the subject, to be into the noticed ppl. So this time I did a female in my style and male view with some information in the mail about the back view:
http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/healer/mQjY33nEZw/42.jpg
And I got noticed.
So I am happy I got my drawing noticed, but I totally understand why ppl get frustrated when they follow the rules and aren't taken, while other pass.
Finaly, here is a dps design I didn't send out because out of time to clean it:

OK...so a carbuncle suit won which was extremely similar to mine and that gets to be a finalist and not mine too. His art was better, but its a design comp not an art comp so Im a little miffed...

My only complaint is that a lot of the designs are female only. This annoys me because the rules explicitly state that the submission must be for males and females.
So, because of a lack of reading comprehension, some beautiful designs should be heading to the virtual paper shredder. I honestly don't know why they are even shown as finalists. So, is the intended message, "disregard our rules and win," Square Enix?:confused: -

[QUOTE=Kacho_Nacho;4080040]snip [/QuUOTE]
And again I point out, you do not need to add a drawing for your set in the opposite sex. They state in the rules that if you do not, they can edit your design to fit the opposite gender. It's not against the rules to create a design that looks good on a female. The devs would create a version for the guys (or the other way around for some). -
03-19-2017, 03:22 AMivalinaregarding that i could try and defend my design by saying things noone would read. if you see the thought about male designs and how it would change, it is up to you to imagine. when i created the old and new covenant, i started directly after the tank contest and only finished the headpiece in that time. try to think how it would look on a male aura in black and nontransparent. prob all of the artworks who show details in m+f are not done in one month. there is a TON of work in some, but the sets need to be for all classes and not job specific. they should fit m+f without big changes. some of them are 2 different sets. it would be nice if you could look at some of the details =(Quote:

I used to main MNK, but I leveled BLM when I discovered the Wolfliege set and I've mained BLM ever since (still glamour Wolfliege on BLM). I don't play healer, but I would teach myself to heal like a boss if this was the gear set I had to look forward to. I haven't liked any gearsets for a long, long time, but this one rocks my world.Quote:

Second, I wasn't even talking only about female only designs. See those other rules:
- The gear must be for all of the following: head, body, hands, legs, and feet.
Now look at this:
http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/range...hSrgMGk/26.jpg
while it's a nice design, it doesn't have hands or feet, and the skirt part being for legs isn't the first thing you think while looking at this. It's probably just head and body.
- The design must show both the front and back of the gear.
http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/healer/mQjY33nEZw/31.jpg

Last one only shows the back of the main body -

The body back designs might be good enough in the 3rd and similar entries. -

"When the gear is implemented, we are planning to make it equip-able for all races and genders. IF NO INFORMATION IS INCLUDED ABOUT HOW THE GEAR SHOULD LOOK WHEN EQUIPPED BY MALE OR FEMALE CHARACTERS FOR EXAMPLE, THE DEVELOP TEAM MAY MAKE ADJUSTMENTS." -

I really dig http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/range...568.1468872330
I reminds me of the exorcist gear from Sōsei no Onmyōji. Honestly would like to see it as a lvl 1 glamour piece equipable by all jobs.
