In contrast, nearly all technology in FFXII was war-focused. As such, it wasn't readily available to the general populace and had little impact on Ivalician fashion - much of which was pre-industrial in design. (like FFXIV has now)
From what I've seen, the Garlean empire is much closer to Archadia in both technology and culture than it is to anything from FFX or FFXIII.
Also, the devs revealed that FFVI played a big role in the inspiration of XIV - the fashions and designs from that game were derived from steampunk, Victorian, and classic Japanese influences. Perhaps the Garlean empire may fall into that look as well..who knows?
So as I said, I don't think the fashions from 7, 8 ,10, or 13 would fit well in Eorzea currently - its just not the right world for them. -

You know, I played all the way thru X-2 and it was a fun game. I enjoyed the combat system.
But it's certainly NOT the game I would pick for the fashion. While the iconic outfits look alright, some of the other dresspheres were sorta like...'what happened here?'
Quick Refresher:
So...I'm good with ARR's fashion being nothing like X-2. -

SE while at it how about some Queens Blade armor... it fit's all criteria.. mind you i can't post picks but trust me it's perfect... Armor will be fast to make, and we can have very large variations of it... from small to XXXL
Left/Right nipple sticker
White loin cloth
and all the rest of the armor can be accessories.... -

A set of really formal military wear for each grand company would be cool, but a lot of the sparklegarglefruru goin around would be a no go for me, not saying we can't have a couple overly flashy outfits but I'd prefer it be exceptions rather than the norm. Plus, sparklegarglefrufru doesn't fit too well in the current Eorzea, so instead I place my vote for more badass gear
::cough::http://img310.imageshack.us/img310/4773/auron9pc.png::cough::
with sparklegarglefrufru being limited to event items and thematic gear (artifact, relic, etc.)
And to the people asking for a judge class, you don't really want to be a judge (unless you actually enjoy spending time in court?), we all know you just want their kewl armor and weapons. If we do get a class it would probably be something like executioner and build into jobs like dark knight or mystic knight.
P.S. the lack of scales over the belly on the female drg armor makes me sad panda. -

Ah, yeah. This is true. I did like OP's last picture, with the XIII coat. I could go for gear like that.

12-07-2012, 08:02 AMZantetsukenDon't get me started on that....Quote:

I hope they'll fix that... I doubt they will. -
12-07-2012, 09:24 AMMuddThe eras that Zanarkand exists in, and Spira as seen in 98% of the rest of FF10, are very very different.Quote:

Anyways, I should have been more specific in my statement.
Arcadia was exactly what I was referring to, regarding what a Garlean city might look like.
It would be nice if they added variants for armors like that.Quote:

Forget about the gear styles, what I want is the ambient armor sounds I had in XI back. Half the reason why I enjoyed playing PLD was the CLANK CLANK CLANK that you hear when you run around in full plate. It got more hilarious when I went PLD/THF in the Gardens of Ru'Hmet to kite things while soloing missions, super speed clanking is ridiculously fun.

12-07-2012, 10:33 AMShougunWe were told about helm visor up / down. But variations would be super awesome; however, stomach chainmail on / off I dont think should be an option lol.. unless all monsters can do 2x damage to you.. then ok you earned it :PQuote:

As some of you may have noticed the new starting race specific gear on the alpha videos is very specific and detailed and is a major jump in the right direction compared to the tunic and tights alot of us started out with in FFXIV 1.**. While I didn't collect alot of the race specific lore (I assume there is more then just race discovery and specifically named foods) I do like that the starting gear gives the sense of a differing culture between the races (well so did their underoos but social implications and understanding via underware is more of a obscure sociological debate that I willing bow out to). While only seeing the Midland and Miqote live we have the concepts for the Elezen and Roegadyn which are do vary in a large margin. It reminds me of crystal Chronicles in that way where the races have a specific style when starting out. Best examples (least SDed) are from crystal bearer where you can see cultural differences even in the main character designs i believe done by Toshiyuki Itahana.
What I like the best about the designs is there something that is instantly recognizable because of its outlandish nature. Such as Layle's pilot jacket even if it doesn't specifically match in all the designs. Similar to Laguna's civilian jacket
While there are a few things that exist in FFXIV that are independent from the rest of attire you wear (Mostly because of the outrageous color scheme such as the merc's Acton). I think we need more really distinctive items more so then just the ice skating blades on the head of the h.darklight or the Ring wraith darklight helm. -

12-08-2012, 06:43 AMZantetsukenEh, I think we are pushing item customization a bit far with something like that. They might as well just create a design-your-own-armor system with some preset parts.Quote:

Lets hope they fix it in ARR... -
