The new dungeon gear? (4.2)

Pretty sure different sections of their art department handle gear design and dungeon design, or they might be different departments. Either way, workload wouldn't be the reason for it.

This would make more sense.

Aren't these just different colors of the Castrum Abania gear?

They are. I dont like how they using previous armourset, only with dyable. Bah, prefer we got new armourset every patch.

I guess Mog Station will probably get something unique.

Chances are pretty low that it'll be dyeable, due to Yoshi-P's answer to that question during New Year's Eve.

Recoloured versions of previous sets isn't really something new. 2.1 had recoloured sets, and that was before the introduction of all the cosmetic stuff to the mogstation.
You'll actually see a pattern if you look at HW: 3.1, 3.3 and 3.5 had new sets, while 3.2 and 3.4 had recolours.

The gear designs so far this expansion have been incredibly awful from my perspective. There hasn't been one set that I've been motivated to complete.

Yeah..the crafted ones have been better than in heavensward at least.
But the dungeon, alliance raid, regular raid, and tomestones design have been the worst :x
Sorry square enix..you have to hear the truth from us so that you improve. Maybe change design philosophy a little bit and look at other games? rpgs? or even your own FF games........

I'm with you on this thought. Been disappointed by the majority of the gear this expansion.

I don't think there's right or wrong when it comes to personal tastes. I love some of the sets from SB, so I don't think any "improvements" are needed @x@

They've generally been blander and more "practical", but not all of them have been awful. I really like the set from Bardam's and the healer gear design contest winner (though males couldn't get the actual set that won, for some stupid reason). The level 66 crafted tank sets is one of my favourites for that role.

There are less designs I like since most of what we're getting seems to be based out of Gyr Abania. I hope we get to revisit the Far East and get more styles in that vein.

I like the Bardam's gear too, but still find it confusing that they'd have dyeable versions, but just for DoH/DoL classes and can't be glamoured for combat jobs. That's the only real issue that I have with the SB gear.

After watching the trailer, you can see which set are for some classes :

During Hell's Lid, against the dragon boss you can see a scholar with the white set (previously BRD/MCH in Castrum Abania). Against the "lava boss" you can see a BLM moving with the set from the Highlander Hyur in the middle.

During Fractal footage, the PLD has a feathered headpiece like the lala in the screen.

For the others, my bet are on caster/healer now for NIN and MNK/SAM and the two "plate" stuff for DRG and BRD/MCH.

I was so close to be all true then :p

It is very ugly and not much put into it (Just my opinion)

I'd agree with this :) you can see the an AST with the white set in the Fractal scene as well

I think my main problem is that they’re using a set from this expansion.

If Glamour is the true endgame, as stated so often, this game does not have a true endgame since a long time...

3.2 set (Dravanian) used the gear from The Aery, so this isn't something unique to SB. At least they're changing which Job gets what set instead of just being a colour swap.

I like the Fending set from Skalla. The rest are a bit "kitchen-y" for my tastes. Looks like CUL uniforms xD

The only one I'd wear(the all red one) probably can't be glamoured to tank gear, and certainly not dyable.

...the problem is the drop rates are pretty screwed up. it's actually odd how hard it is to get stuff from expert dungeons compared to much harder content.
