Dear Square Enix pls stop using the same skins of raidtier for different classes

When i went to the raidgear vendor, i was totally disappointed. Healer and Caster Gear looks the same as always, but Fending and Maiming gear and Striking and Aiming look almost the same. I have never seen another mmo where so much reskinning is used.

Basically every MMO does this.

But not to this extend

How about Guild Wars 2?
That takes it even further. A lot of the gear looks like what you're already wearing, but with higher stats.

So because another game is worse ff is excused?

Excused?
I never said I had a problem with what FF does.
I actually dig the overlap, especially since gear is pretty segregated by your role.
And they're never exactly the same. I appreciate the little ways they're tailored to fit each job and sometimes the little differences (like the skirt on the Deepshadow fending gear not being present on the maiming gear) spiral into whole new glams.
Then again, maybe I'm just more accepting of the fact that RPGs have recycled models since the NES days of recolored monster sprites.

So basicaly you start by saying there is no game worse, then you agree there are...
Anyway, a simple answer to that particular issue would be : everyone puts glamour over the raid gear so where is the problem ? At least this game offers you a wide variety of glamour possibilities ( and a dresser with not enough spot for all the glamours )

otherwise yes, Sometimes the amount of recycling is ridiculous, like in SB when crafted gear was litteraly the skin of the 50 relic weapons, just without the aura

How many dungeons per expansion would you be willing to give up in order for every gear set to be new and unique?

(I'm not sure if those actually share development resources, but given that both involve graphical design there's a good chance that at least some overlap exists.)

How often do you see someone who doesn't just glamour over their endgame gear anyway?
