Yea would be nice if they mixed it up once in a while. Only end game gear that looks MCH like is the ilvl160 gear and AF. Ninja has the same issue, very few NIN pieces look like it is for Rogue more than Ninja itself.

Developers also need to stop just copy/pasting one set to another. This has been a thing since 2.0 Day 1. These are raids and big end game content, does it take up so much space and resources to give the 6 gear categories their own set? Like Void Ark here, MNK and NIN have the same looking set, just different color. Caster and Healer share the same set except different colors. If it is truly a problem to make something unique for each gear set I can understand, but looking at it from the outside, it just looks like cutting corners to me.

I think it is more a matter of developement time. To design a new model need more time than to change an already finished model.

That is more than fine for things like leveling dungeons or lower end game dungeon gear. The gear I refer to is the big time end game gear that is considered at least in it's prime the best. I understand if there is something in the design process I may not be aware of, but it feels underwhelming that the designers just copy/paste sets and recolor them. The end game raid armor I mean.

Recycled boss and ugly looking armor sets? This is depressing.

At least I won't have to farm it and endure the stupidity of 23 other players. So there is that.

I think the caster/tank armor looks great (and I have BLM and WAR at 60 - wooooo) - to each their own. i175 is perfect - that means the moment I manage to suffer leveling to 60 on an alt job I get to go into void arc with it...yay.

I hope that Diabolos get this time mechanics that can't be ignored with higher ilevel gear.

Your 25 million gil is safe, Yoshi-P already said that they are using the same exact looting system from CT. So get ready to spam the raid 20+ times a week to never see the particular item you are looking for.
