Realistic equipments or More fantasy equipments?

do you think the current equipments in the game are so boring? are they lack of fantasy?

Fantasy is the only way to go. The imagination is limitless where reality has boundaries.

Fantasy equipment. It's been part of the essence of final fantasy for as long as i can remember. I really don't know why they decided to make all the gear and weapons look so normal and realistic... I don't want a plain regular iron sword.. i want my character to swing around a huge crystal sword twice his size and that is surrounded with lightning .... you get the idea... :D

and my conjurer using a piece of branch as a staff/rod... wearing an old robe attire like an old lady

A mix of both is fine in my opinion.

Save the really awesome fantasy stuff for drops/quest rewards/rare crafting/etc., and have "standard" gear for buying from NPC shops/"standard" crafting/etc.

There's no reason that fantasy can't be grounded in SOME reality. How many nameless soldiers in different fantasy mediums ALL have unique, fantasy-inspired gear? I think it gives some variance in the overall population, which isn't bad in my opinion.

Plus, having the really sweet looking stuff on a "higher shelf" than you can currently reach makes for a better carrot, right?

I like that crystal sword idea though... Maybe an entire tier of "crystal weapons"?

fantasy! *give me Buster Sword nao!*

Ok well, i do adore some realistic, but yea, this is final fantasy, it should be fantasy equipments! and of course i would welcome some realistic equipments.. but yea, i want my Final Fantasy Equipments.. .

I'm actually ok with the current style. I'm more concerned with variety. As long as it looks good and I'm not in a situation where I MUST have X item or be gimp, I'm happy.

Mages used a cane and robe in a lot if not all of the job based FF games.

Fantasy. There's an appeal to separating the high level characters from the low level ones from their gear's appearance.

I would like more variety with fantasy and realistic as far as looks go for gear, but I rather them work out the skills more.
