Because most of the options mages have are... other robes.

The only reason I like smn blm sch whm is purely cause robes look ace. It gives them that magic fantasy ish feeling. Is like asking Gandalf to wear jeans and a hippie top .... Just wouldn't be right

That wont fix the issue if they keep making robes for future content. Most gear that mages wear are other robes, <lv50 bilauds and some a handful of bikinis, suits....and that's pretty much it.

Thats cool and all but we dont all want to look like Gandalf. More options would always be welcome. I dont mind robes, but some variation on the glamors/gear would be very welcome!

As has been said many times, simply relaxing restrictions on the existing glamour system would alleviate many complaints.

If the tank can run around in a voluminous gown while wearing a snowman head, why can't the mage choose to use the appearance of a roguish chestpiece or an armored long coat?

I want more battle-like robes. If not, more eccentric robes, and not that Zoro stuff from our AF2 armor >.>

I'm a fan of the latest dungeon tank gear for this reason:

Wootz sets also look nice, but that could potentially be just because they're directly from XI. :P

While I agree that Gandalf would probably mostly wear robes, what exactly is un-magelike about normal shirts and pants?

I've been pretty mad at healer gear for a while, I've been wanting to make a more 'tribal' looking healer but so far I found nothing good with mage gear.

On a slight different subject, I also really wish they would start making healer gear more 'unisex' looking again… I'm the first to put my male character in a skirt, but unless it's your thing the last two healing set from ST and WOD can just look so ridiculous on males, especially Highlanders and Roes, and the new WHM i60 gear seem to be made the same. Bara character looking like a nun? Ehhhh.

For now I'm just hoping they don't ruin the male version of Astrologian, though I personally wouldn't mind having that fancy dress to change from the ugly pink/violet ones we have...

Edit, just remember that we can add some of the PvP gear set to the list of gear that look awful on males, such as the BLM and SCH gear set...

Yeah, I'd like something like the Kirimu coat myself.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to the Lv60 SMN AF.
