Treasure Hunts new glamour looks hideous

Surprised so many people are fine with capes that act like cardboard and do not have proper physics.

...which is completely normal for this part of the patch cycle, at least since Stormblood.

Stormblood:
========
Tier I Crafted gear = recolour of World of Darkness gear + unique weapons
Tier II Crafted Gear = recolour of Void Ark gear + Zodiac relic recolour
Tier III Crafted Gear = unique armour "Rakshasa" + recolour of Asuran / Doma Castle weapons

Shadowbringers:
===========
Tier I Crafted Gear = recolour of Mhach / Dun Scaith gear + unique weapons
Tier II Crafted Gear = unique armour "Neo-Ishgardian" + recolour of Forgiven Weapons (lv79)
Tier III Crafted Gear = unique armour "Exarchic" + recolour of Bluespirit Weapons (Lv74)

And now, we got recolours of PvP Roman gear but unique weapons. And it will only continue to have recolours down the line, partially because designing more and more original gear is factually hard when you already have over a hundred pieces of gear per role without counting recolours, and partially because certain recolours are actually sought after. This set for example has replaced the silver-goldish metal for a more bronze-gold tone and the dye regions also differ.

Creativity isn't that easy folks and neither is the process of ensuring every piece fits eight races of two clans and two genders (barring Hrothgar at the moment) of various sizes actually fits aside from tail / cape physics and don't have like 20 polygons / 16 pixels per m².

Hilariously, the Tank weekly tome gear chestpiece has a tail part that not only locks onto my Au Ra tail butbalso moves naturally with it.
I'm 100% jealous of this piece because I won't be able to use it cos im a Healer main ._.

As much as I generally prefer new stuff to re-used assets... the fact that I can get those old pvp skins without having to pvp is definitely something I appreciate. >_>

As to the new outfit... meh, I can take or leave it. The top and the boots aren't things I can see myself using, but the pants and the wrist bangle I might.

I like it. To me it remembers the hobbit clothes in LotR :)

Will I ever find better knee boots than Mheg Deaca's?

No, no I won't. Because your only options for knee boots in FFXIV are "dork" or "stripper".

The pants and boots are nice! Hopefully the market board is kind to it and it's not Thavnairian dancer outfit-tier expensive.

I really like it... dunno what's "hideous" about the glam. I am happy about it.

Yeah I like the boots as well, they look comfy and fluffy.
AS for the price, like all maps glamors it will be crazy expensive at first to just slowly go down to basically worthless with time.

Bought the torso for 450000ish today on Phoenix, it’s way cheaper that usually for new crafted glams.
