(Dengekionline) Preview for patch 3.2.

Huh, didnt expect casters to get Shiva was originally thinking of something like:
Tank-Titan
Maim-Ifrit
Slayer-Garuda/2nd choice shiva
Scout-Leviathan
Range-Shiva/2nd choice Garuda
Caster-Ramuh
Heal-Mog

Heh, well with Casters as shiva, Im guessing Ramuh as range, with Titan still tank and Mog as healer, unless they toss another curve ball, then we could see something strange like titan range or ramuh tank gear....breado shield... XD

Am i the only one who hopes they take it a step further and give each job its own individual primal armour?

Off the top of my head i can think of 12 suitable primals to use for 13 jobs. Just means someone needs to share.

Using that, i would assume...

Warrior = Titan
Dark Knight = Thordan
Paladin = Bismark
Monk = Ifrit
Ninja = Leviathan
Dragoon = Garuda
Bard = Moogle
Machinist = Ravana
Black mage = Shiva
Summoner = Bahamut
White mage = Ramuh
Scholar = Phoenix
Astrologian = ???

Really, i have no idea for Astrologian...

Edit: Actually, Alexander could work well for Astrologian. Problems fixed!

Phoenix armor isn't going to happen because lore, and we already have a summoner bahamut set.

The rest is not bad though. I greatly prefer it when classes don't have to share armor.

Not really sure how lore can prohibit Phoenix armour, but on the Bahamut set, there is quite a difference between what the dreadwyrm set is and what an armour actually emulating Bahamut's appearance could be.

I'd say why, but someone here might not have cleared coil.

And I suppose so.

im going to make a really out-there prediction

titan armor for any battle class would end up being pretty ugly imo
im praying for ravana tank armor
so where would titan be left?
for gatheres
because theyre disciples of the /land/ hehe

Check the 3.2 trailer. It kinda looks like Ifrit for Tanks/MNK, Garuda for DRG, Leviathan for NIN/BRD/MCH and Shiva for Caster/Healer. Different armor models, but same primal theme. There's no indication in the trailer of any other primals having themed gear ...yet.

Did you skip the cutscenes in FCoB or something? o.O

At the approximate 5:20 mark in the video, it looks like there is an AST wearing the Shiva gear.

Someone posted these images on Reddit. You can see the BLM wearing a set that is almost like dark Shiva gear. So, the artistic image they posted yesterday was in fact a WHM!!!

Actually the healer set might be the set seen in the Eorzea Collection 2016W video (or a mix between it and the Shiva set?)

The shape of the healer pants seems to be really poofy (not in the same spot, but there is a poof there) and I haven't seen this set anywhere else in the trailer.

...

Unless this is a crafting set, I don't craft, LOL.

Hmm this is quite interesting, makes me womnder what other differenced the other classes will have between their outfits.

We have now seen that Both the Ifrit and the Shiva outfits change between class slightly, wonder if the Leviathan outfits will change too.
Wish I could see the BML outfit a little clearer though to see if there is any difference besides colour.

I think it looks like a poof because of the way the light hits the white pants with black accents, makes a sort of false shadow. If you look at the boots, you'll notice it looks exactly the same shape as the caster's.

Oh and that first gear set you linked is the GSM AF2 set. :P

Is it? I don't craft. XD I haven't actually seen any of the level 60 crafter sets aside from Weaver and Blacksmith. Now I feel silly.

Yep! No worries though. I think the sets are identical but one based in black, one based in white as seems to be SE's usual.

Makes me wonder if the other primal sets will differ in colors based on role. I'm sure they'll all become dyeable after Gordias Savage or whatever our next Void Ark step is anyways. XD

Yeah, I got pretty excited thinking that maybe they were going to break from the different color thing and give each set a slightly different (yet still related) design. I guess I should start creeping the crafters so I can see these sets I'm missing out on.

I'm sure the dyeable versions of the new tome gear will look great. Poor Ninjas are going to be so bright until then, though. XD

I just don't see why they couldn't have put another primal inbetween all these sets.

We healers know! :cool:

There was no way in hell I was going to believe that pose/ cane/ colour scheme was for a BLM.

Most likely just how it is with MNK/Tank they share the same gear but modified a tiny bit.

I kinda feel sorry for the people deluding themselves into thinking the shiva gear isn't the casting gear because of a fervent desire to have it on healer. There have never been any incorrect translations of this in the past, and this isn't one either. Deal with it.

Look at the trailer if you don't believe it, the AST is wearing the Shiva gear in the picture and the Lala WHM in the AT has the cane. The BLM is wearing a dark blue variant with a different staff.

I kinda feel sorry for you that you refuse to acknowledge the images, right if front of your face, from the official SE trailer. The GIF image clearly shows a black mage holding a completely different ice staff wearing a black/dark purple version of the white/light blue Shiva gear shown yesterday. Deal with it.

Lol. Guess we shall see. Maybe we will get lucky and there will be multiple versions of the primal gear for different classes.

So it looks like caster and healers may get Shiva. That would be even better, and would explain the difference in the 2 canes, although it does seem a bit weird to not have unique sets for casters and healers.

NIN, BRD and MCH all share the Levi set.

I'm guessing theres only the 4 sets shared between all classes.

Hopefully they look somewhat different. A carbon copy of the gear between so many classes would suck.

So it looks like we are getting ifrit, levi, shiva and Garuda...odd.

Well we usually get a palette swap so I wouldn't expect much more.

Oh god, don't tell me Casters and Healers are both going to have Hailstorm gear.
Really, SE? Really?! ;A;
Why can't we each have our own then? Melee get there own thing all the time. >:v

Yeah...that is super lame, guess my jobs will all look the same then lol...

I guess at least it takes less time to gear up my casters/healers? >.>

I don't mind that healers share gear and casters share gear, it makes gearing for those jobs easier, but the fact they always copy-paste the looks for healer and caster is lame. :-B
I HAVE AESTHETIC NEEDS ;A;
Someone said they think they saw that Range's gear look like Leviathan gear too... >x>

It would be a bit better if each role had its own theme... but I'm just over the moon healers are getting Shiva, I've been craving ice-themed armour since Akh Afah HM. And finally something to match the Diamond Cane!

Eh, Poetics and Soldiery sets weren't recolors for caster/healers so it's not "always." This is also the first time tanks share gear skins with another class among weekly currency/raid sets. 4 skins per set is pretty standard for these shared sets.

That's just the price you're going to have to pay for not having to buy gear individually for each job like with Esoterics - just glamour over it, there seems to be a lot of stuff you could use this patch if not from older patches.

Yep, it looks like the marketing team gave out the wrong set name when they sent the images out yesterday, which surprises me—though it makes much more sense now that we know they're sharing sets across roles (when we thought, perhaps too hopefully, that each role would have its own primal).

I'm rather disappointed they're sharing so many set designs. We got 5 unique designs for two of the three Tomestone tiers in ARR when the gear was role- and not job-specific, and now it looks like we're going to be getting 4. Philosophy gear had 4 (Tank, DRG, MNK/Ranged, Healer/Caster), but Soldiery (Tank, DRG, MNK/Ranged, Healer, Caster), and Poetics (Tank, DRG/MNK, NIN/Ranged, Healer/Caster) both had 5.

In HW we've only gotten 4 per Tomestone set, though. Law was only 4 (Tank, DRG/MNK/NIN, Ranged/Caster/Healer), and it now seems that it'll be 4 for Lore as well (Tank/MNK, DRG, NIN/Ranged, Healer/Caster). I really hope that's not indicative of a new trend because it makes a glamour enthusiast like me quite sad.

Well, if we'd share the actual sets, it would be great, because it allows gearing up more jobs simultaneously!

But since it's only aesthetic, it's meh.

No it will take the usual amount, even though NIN shares the same skin as BRD & MCH they will be different sets, scouting and aiming. Same for casting and healing.
