Alliance Raid Gear too boring

I feel like they dropped the ball on Thaleia's gear sets. They look worse, but honestly have to see it in game.

I think the sets actually refer to them, but just one at a time. Judging by a some slight references within the sihouette and elements, Aglaia seems to be based on Nadl'Thal, Euphrosyne on Menphina, and I can assume then that Thaleia is about the not yet revealed last boss.

Said that, I wish the designs could reference more than just the last boss, it would create a bit more diversity in the visuals, while keeping cohese with the theme.

Thats ultimately what I desire. I may personally not like the raid's clothing aesthetics but couldnt they have least made more an effort to give each set its own unique look?

Well... there's always the old Twelve-themed PVP sets...

At least we have those yeah.

But still couldve used the opportunity to give us the other half of the Twelve that were missing from those sets with this Alliance raid gear.

Some of those old sets like the Halone fending gear looked really unique in terms of modeling. Compare that to the samey ones weve gotten in these raids and youll see that the someone in the art team has been slacking.

Actually I would also extend that to the music team as well since the other raids usually had different music for each boss but lately theve been sprinkling the same boss theme and leaving the last one to be different. It screams of cheapness and thats sad, since one of the best parts of FFXIV is its sound design.

I think the problem is that alot of the set's lately seem to have fallen flat and lack flair or interesting design. I think the designers just need some new inspiration at this point and are either running on empty or they're overwhelmed with other stuff trying to sort it out.

I understand the theme behind it being all about fantasy Greek Mythology in their designs but they really could've gone all out with perhaps making each set be its own unique thing (perhaps each role referencing a bit to one of the Twelve's looks?) rather than it all be uniform.

And this isnt just another Endwalker content bad thread, I felt the same with the ever popular Nier raid sets where they also suffered from the same monotonous designs even though the sets are referencing the style from Nier. But IMO the Nier style designs I find it too boring to pass off for cool alliance gear in the first place.

I think we truly peaked with the Ivalice gear sets. Sure it also suffers from designs replicating the style of a game; namely FFXII and Tactics but at least the designs are unique and colorful and do fit with the FFXIV aesthetic.

I wonder if anyone of you also feel this way with the recent Alliance raid sets from EW and Shb

sadly i dont agree, aglae had gorgeous sets i still wear and that thalae tank set is on my list too. its all personal preference

Didn't really like Euphro's gear, but that's mostly because of the lack of dye channels. The gear just feels like you have to dye it a bright color due to the sparkles on the gear. Really don't care for most of the Nier gear, but that's mostly just due to the chest windows and how puffy some of it is around the shoulders, wrists and ankles.

Personal preference is fine. The set themselves are ok, its just the lack of variety, especially for a raid series where one would hope each tier set has something in its design that stands out.

They all look samey to me.
