Eorzea Collection 2017S

We see a lot of the new Gears in 4.0 here and among them are the Samurai Plate armor for all DoW and DoM.

Machinist is even getting a new Gunblade Guns.

What the heck.....why does everyone get samurai plate armor.....that kinda sux. I was hoping it was only for Samurai.....

Samurai Plate is looking pretty slick. Though that it's the first-tier of Raid Gear raises some interesting questions about how the Omega Series may begin and play out.

Other than that I was particularly struck by the appearance of some China Dresses very similar to those that kicked off the chain of "Cash Shop pls". On the one hand, gives me hope for more outfits like the most recent cash shop addition actually being in the game. On the other, makes me regret my purchase of aforementioned cash shop dress, just a bit. But oh well.

The type of Japanese armor that we associate with Samurai was historically used by archers, musket men, lancers, and general horseback cavalry too. The really pretty ornate sets were probably just worn for parades and ceremonies. Just because we call it "Samurai Armor" doesn't mean it was only useful to Samurai.

How much of this is new? A lot looks like what we got. The girlfriend wants to know what the miqo'te at 1:23 is in is why I ask

Isn't that "Gunblade" / double bayonet already in the game? I remember Mide was using the same mesh and I swear I saw someone else using it.

I hope the Chinese looking dresses are purely glamour gear and not tied to a specific job.... they did look like they could be dyed.

You mean the Blue Steel which was the level 41 version of the weapon?

This version is most likely a crafter version for 4.0 as the blade is more black color compared to Blue Steel's Blue blade.

The twitter also revealed a type of Genji armour from the nova crysallis twitter. I was hoping for and Overwatch event for FFXIV but maybe we'll just get inspired glamour.

I'm pretty sure the gunblade in the video is the warwolf knifelock, a pvp weapon you can buy with wolf marks.
