All Saints' Wake 2022 Begin at January 20th

Finally a real clown outfit and I think this will be our 1st face paint in years?

Doesn't look like the headpiece will be wearable by Viera and Hrothgar though. I hope someday we can have a plain clown nose.

Ohey-- more glam hats that vierra can't wear. What a surprise! lol

We all take the role of the silly clown. Very meta.

I'm highly arachnophobic, and true story. I ran out of the arena and refused to fight the first boss of the Weeping City of Mhach when it launched back in the day. Yelled a giant NOPE to that and ran away. Though there actually aren't many spiders in FFXIV

There's always a chance that just the nose will animate onto our races from the start... but I wouldn't bet on it. Will just have to want and see and be surprised if it does.

I thought most of the mentors are that already, just now they get a outfit to match.

Best Joe Pesci voice: "Am I a clown? Do I amuse you?"

I doubt I'd use the outfit much, if at all (though I do like the pants and boots), but I hope that at the very least Hrothgar/Viera can use the new face paint option. Because why not. I also like the pumpkin lantern sets. Those are nice.

Hroths and Viera can use every face paint that currently exists, theres no real reason to assume it'll be any different for the clown paint.

Despite being "children's entertainers", it's typically children that have an issue with them. When you find adults that are scared of them, it typically stems from childhood trauma. At least, as far as anything I've read on the matter is concerned.
Also it's less that they're scary exactly and more that the makeup, especially if it over emphasizes a facial expression, and costumes that distort a normal body shape often push them into the uncanny valley. Add on to that discomfort them being exceptionally loud and exaggerated in their movements and you've got a good recipe for freaking out children.
