So uh... whats up with the end game gear designs lately?

Creation tome gear landed last night. Naturally I went to go try on my new sets for Bard and WHM...

Honestly I feel like my WHM is in a padded straight jacket...
Between this and the Genji armor sets I'm at a loss for words. Who designed these sets? They are terrible.
Im glad glamour exists because I will be glam-ing these so fast... In the future could we get some gear styles more akin to the lvl 70 AF sets. Those were for the most part very stylish. I'll be glamouring back to my Bard lvl 70 AF set for sure.

I agree I thought the winners for each set were being added? instead the styled it all after the tank set winner. Huge let down and this healer gear is ugly af.

If you saw when the different contests took place you would know they wouldn't all be released at the same time...

The creation tome set is the Tank Design contest winner, just adjusted to fit the theme of other roles.

The Omega gear is apparently a tribute to the best armor set in an older FF game.

That being said, I agree I'm not a fan of either look.

Just because you don't like them doesn't mean others don't.

The longer they put off that healer set the better

And I am fully aware that some might like it. I'm not knocking those that do, this is clearly an opinion thread. Im merely asking if we can get some more stylish sets in the future. Im not asking them to change this set as it is now. Just giving my honest feedback. It really does look terrible on everyone except tank (and caster; but only because the color scheme tones down the odd look.)

I think the Creation gear is FINE, but it looks a little too Alexander-ish in my opinion.

With regard to the Genji stuff - I am glad that SE went with a different aesthetic. The healer set is sort of growing on me (though the hat will never grow on me).

At the end of the day, it's personal preference. At least there are always glamours?

The creation gear isn't so bad... we've had worse... I haven't seen all of the sets yet, so I can't pass judgement. Some probably work better than others, sam omega gear looks great, healer gear makes me very VERY sad. This is why we have a glamour system, though! If you don't like it, change it to something you do like!

Personally, I haven't really loved any current gear since 2nd Coil, so when they are of questionable taste, I'm not surprised anymore.

The only issues with the Creation set are the colour and the helmet; I think it can work. And people have been asking for more heavy-style gear for casters since forever.

I like the Genji stuff more than the Alexander gear designs but that's a matter of taste. I'm a big samurai fanboy :/

Mostly happy that this means we're likely to get versions of the design contest caster gear for all jobs. Sexy necromancer healer times for all!
