New gear speculation

http://www.dualshockers.com/wp-conte...er_live-19.jpg
I have a very hard time deciding what most of these gears are for, but if I'm not mistaken, does the cool red pirate suit say "Limsa Lominsa GC" above it? Would that make it GC gear for LL? (Jealousy of LL's cool red coats is increasing).

As for the others, they don't seem to say anything similar, but I can't tell what they are.
Any guesses?

It looks like theres a book in that second picture from the left so that would make that one Arcanist gear?

Nvm using my zoom function on my vita seems to be the characters neck, i guess there red blue and green so the first three are gc gear either higher tier or sidegrades? the last one is the real mystery odin loot maybe?

Could be gear based off of drops from new mobs. The one on the very right, looks like the chocobo armor shown in a previous letter. The drops from behemoth could be used to make such a thing. Didn't they say you could make armor for your chocobo with drops? Might be the same for this particular player armor set.

Just speculation, of course.

Well the one on the left is Limsa. The far right maybe Ul'dah because the horns are kind of symbolic. The question is the 2 middle portions... maybe... some form of new Class specific equipment or each GC gets multiple sets of new gear.

Example being(from left to right):
the first is limsa "cloth armor" for things like brd, mnk, drg
the second could be ul'dah "mage robes" for arc, blm, whm
the third could be ul'dah "heavy armor" for war and pld
the fourth could be "light armor" for ul'dah being war, drg, pld

I'm really doubting that any of the last three are GC specific. The styles of the clothing doesn't fit the city-state theme like the pirate one does with LL.

Hart may be onto something, as I agree the third one does look a little similar to the behemoth gear for the chocobo.
As for the two inbetween, I'm still lost.

Wouldnt they be playing favourites if 3/4 of the gear pieces are uldah gc gear?

Maybe...maybe... the second one is SMN AF (I hope not since I don't like that style). But Reinhart's translation said something about these possibly not being finished in time?

Just like they aren't favoriting gridania as the alpha starter zone? So the point is....?

In the world of mmos, there will always be newer and better gear and I got the feeling the best if yet to come in 2.0.

Nah the concept art for Summoner AF is the one with ifrit behind the smn on the official site. Having considered it i'm starting to think only the one on the very left is GC gear sinces it clearly says it is, if the others were then would they have not followed the same conventions and name them in the same way?
