Crystal Tower Preview (lodestone post)

only reason drg looks bad in this pic is cuz it's a Roe wearing it, Roe's look stupid in every armor that isn't tank armor :/

I wish this gear was able to be dyed I'm not feeling the black mage color scheme.

Thank you so much.

The Warrior of Light tanking set looks great. Definitely going to get that set for my tank.

However, the others I don't really care for. One thing that definitely bugs me is using different color palettes between BRD and DRG. Same thing is done in Coils. The BRD, DRG, and MNK set look nearly identical, and the Mage/Healer set are just different color. I don't mind reskin of certain armors, but at least make one job's gear set look different from one another.

Don't like the MNK gear. no big different from dark light . All dark color.

Excuse me, but what?

I like all of them.

It is a bit disappointing that there isn't that much variety between 2 sets of 2 armos (SMN/BLM/WHM/SCH & DRG/BRD), but I do like the overall look of them.

SE needs to understand something though: SMNs and BLMs need different armors. period end of story. Same with WHM and SCH.

I think the caster armor looks pretty sweet except the hat, that looks like a reskin of the lvl 32ish battlemage hat, wish they would have put a little more detail into that considering the awesome body piece, but it still looks better than the af hat.

Hmm...not completely. See, you would have a point if there were stats like:

Magic Accuracy
Healing Magic Potency
Cure Potency
Haste
+/- Enmity
Enfeebling Magic Potency
Enhance (Insert traits/abilities here)

But Yoshi got rid of them, so the gear set being shared makes sense since everything is basic stats.

It's me or the Monk Gear is the Fuma Garb droped in Eureka??

For those saying the mage gear is the battlemage reskinned :

I understand that. I should have specified that i meant from purely an aesthetic perspective.

I just don't like looking at someone and saying "is that a sch or a whm?" it should be obvious... they should have different gear.

The gear is too linear anyway. They need to make more diverse gear for classes, imo. not just "tank gear" "melee gear" etc., etc.

I reeeeaaally do wish that SCH/WHM had separate gear outside of AF+1 (which, let's be honest, sucks for SCH).

The monk set looks great though, glad I decided to level that next.

Leave him alone. He can't even tell the difference between "different" and "difference". :/

There really is no other way to acknowled6e the set :(

Actually, reskin in armor context means using the same 3D model of an armor and use a different texture. Non of the CT armors are reskins because all the models are unique.
It's not the same as Battlemage like some claim. Different model (collar, chest, sleeves etc).

That's not the Onion Knight gear I was expecting. Looks really disappointing compared to what this concept art showed.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to have noticed it, but this is exactly what that dragoon is wearing. So, really, the 'recolor' is the Bard. Shame the only way to get the matching hat is to have been a 1.0 CE player.

Is it me or does the Bard gear look like something a Pimp would wear?

That is not what the drg is wearing if you go look at the latest teaser vid you will see the CT outfit and the onion knight outfit separately. Which look different.

I personally like all the sets but that being said, i'm pissed off that once again Warriors get stuck looking like Paladins... Then again, I guess anything would beat Darklight's "tin can" look.

If the Roe is dragoon gear, its awful.

I've never played any FF titles before 7. But am I safe to assume that the armors shown are inspired by old FF titles. The tank armor reminds me of one but I don't know about the others. At least it's nice that we're not getting reskinned stuff.

If you look at the teaser vid again you'll notice that it is indeed one and the same. The DRG Roe in the teaser vid and the Mi'qote at the start of the video are wearing the same gear with the Mi'qote wearing the actual helmet to complete the set. However it looks like the Mi'qote is wearing a sword so it's possible that this gear set is going to be GLA/PLD/MRD/WAR/LNC/DRG instead of just LNC/DRG. The lodestone CT gear picture, teaser vid, and the concept art of the Onion Knight gear all all one and the same.

I have the full set. It's a reskin. The patterns and color changes help to hide that it uses the same armor model. I'm fine with it honestly though I'll be annoyed if the gear is not able to be dyed. SE seems adamant about not giving players customization options.

Admittedly, it is a blurry picture, but you can still make out the details. And, thanks to other posters, I can see and make the comparisons.

They are the same armor. The metal parts aren't as bright and the coat a touch brighter than the concept art, I'll grant you that, but aside from those it's the same.

Append: Wow, beat to the punch by hours... I'm getting bad at this.

Must...get...monk...to 50! 0.0

This ties in with AK DRG armor for ugly. Actually, wtf... DRG in cloth? Suddenly have a new urge to get all my Mythic DRG gear... at least the rest looks cool

So tired of hearing mages complain when I've had only one set of unique looking armor before the game handed me my AF gear...

Literally everything I've worn, aside from the Cavalry armor, since I started wearing Tanking Gear has either been the Cuirass set, or the Trashcan set, with small pieces added over time. You guys have it good.

Oh, and what's that I see ahead? Crafted i55 Cuirass set, and i70 crafted and purchased trashcan.
...At least I finally get dungeon drops that look different.

Indeed. See video with Battlemage standing next to this armor. The more I look at the set, the less it looks like Battlemage. It's actually pretty badass, and I wish I liked casters enough to use it.

It's kinda funny that people keep talking about the reskin when SE has released a video of the two standing side-by-side.

shhhh what are people going to complain about then?

I can't wait for the blm armour it looks great to me.

Yup. Definitely going to complete some of these sets. Especially the paladin/monk set.

Dat MNK set though... looks better than DL and AF2.. wtf SE this should have been out at launch >.<;

Uhg...why would they put a blm/smn in RED gear? Well I guess some people can pretend they have a rdm now.
