Variety is sorely lacking.

I kind of like the design in this game but the lack of colour in some of the gear is depressing, hopefully higher rank gear will be more colourful at least.
more fantasy, huge Shoulderpads just like WoW... lol.... nah skip the last one.
But i would like to see capes & backpacks.
I'm ok with almost anything as long as they don't have stupid auras around them.
They look cheap, ridiculous and old as shit, its like something you'd see on a PS1 game, not a new gen MMO, wither it armor or weapons, as long it doesn't have a neon glowing cloud around it, I'm satisfied.
all cloths in all ff games look normal out of my honest opinion. And honestly what do fantasy cloths look like? From what i seen, it depends on the fantasy. Either woman more skimpy outfits, or long dresses. Men wore cloaks or armor, or even robes if they where a mage. When you think fantasy you think of old english attier. Like lord of the rings movies. For high fantasy it a bit more modern and some clothing can be from steam punk style. Like ffx's neo religous attier seen in ff13. Like riligous looking cloths with a techno flare.
So ffxiv does have fantasy attier. Plus it fits the current age. We are in the age similar to pirates of the carribean movies. Where pirates ruled the 7 seas and islands starting to have city states.
Are you guys expecting gear similar to WoW or something? cuz thats not really fantasy, its flamboyent.
I'm good as long as it isn't anything excessively flamboyant/gaudy like in a bunch of Korean MMOs(Sword of The New World, I'm looking at you).
I'm honestly fairly happy with the current designs. More variety will be added with content, so I'm not too worried about it. What I DON'T want to see are hordes of armor/weapons with massive auras or the utterly ridiculous looking shoulders seen in some other games that are so big they look like they need their own zip code.
I'm willing to say that Rydia and Terra's are much more in line with traditional fantasy than most stuff in FFX-FXIII.
Not to say they can't incorporate anything "modern" looking, like something resembling Lightning's military garb or Fang and Vanille's stuff, but I seriously think Nomura was on some seriously hard drugs when he was doing the designs for FFX... >.>
damn military garbs in FF7 and 13..... SE, please stop adding machines and army to fantasy game
but yes, everyone in FFX wore shit and ugly attires. I'm glad they have modified Tidus attire in Dissidia
