Tank Design Contest Semi-Finalists

Hopefully once they choose the winner, they'll consider other entries to be added to the game as well. Also, I'd like some of these entries to be considered to be added for other jobs.

I'd love this one to be added as healer/caster gear:

This one for brd/mch gear:

And this one for monk:

As for the tank itself, my favorites among the entries:

These would be great for paladin:

Fairness from SE at its' finest. Count the Japanese entries...

Maybe they had more japanese entriers or "better" (more detailled, unisex) japanese entries ?

What do you expect? Japan is full of (great) artists. I wonder if there are some german entries (I hope I m not the only one).
Well I recognize the design from a popular FFXIV-comic-artist xD

My femroe needs this!

This ones my favorite, and look, its a German design, not Japanese!
There seems to be a fairly decent amount on non-Japanese entries as well, I think you guys are just looking for trouble where it doesn't actually exist lol....

That is why I wish we had a thread with all the entries, so we can see. I would love to hear from the developers why they decided to pick those entries and not the other ones. Aslong as this continues (and with SE favourtism towards the JP community) people are always going to ask themselves if SE was biased or not.

This armour is my favourite, seeing all these tanking gear, makes me wish they just release them all. Majority of these armours look soo much better then what we have.


PS: the Goobue armour should be for all classes and not only for tanks.

Because the hairstyle contest I guess, they probably wanted to avoid the same mess ^^"

My guess would be feasablility, they probably want something that look nice but not to hard to modelize either and that can be unisex. I think there is also personnal preferences, western armors being more "cute" and fun in general than eastern which are....well less cute and fun xD (but this is a total guess)

I find it bizarre that a ton of Japanese entries are of such high quality and yet people stroll in and act like there's a potential conspiracy behind it.
SE, where are all of the submissions with black characters? SE? SE!!??
