This is something that, as a proud member of the Immortal Flames, I am constantly bothered by. As many know, the primary colors of the Immortal Flames are black and gold. However, the uniforms are largely this dark blue coloration. Unfortunately, this has never really been addressed and I'm just kinda annoyed by this discrepancy between lore and gameplay aesthetics.
2.3 Main Storyline Spoilers: To make matters worse, as of the 2.3 main storyline, the Crystal Braves, the new Grand Company started by Alphinaud, wear blue uniforms. This, to me, begs the question, "Why are there two Grand Companies with blue uniforms?"
I dunno, this is just a bit of a pet peeve with me and I am just hoping that the graphics department can fix the coloration of the Immortal Flames uniform.
Can the Immortal Flames be black now?

No! Black is an integral color in the representation of the prideful and far superior Maelstrom! Til Sea Swallows All!

07-09-2014, 01:18 PMHakuroDKSorry to burst your bubble, but Maelstrom's colors are Red and Black. We adopted it as a primary, you have it shoved in the back as a secondary color.Quote:

07-09-2014, 01:44 PMHakuroDKWell the Immortal Flames standard is primarily Black with golden scales. There's no Brown anywhere on it at all, other than as just a generic border used only seldomly. The only blue anywhere on it is a gem representing wealth and a red flame, representing the Flames' determination. And while there is blue technically there, it's a tertiary color that has no business supplanting black as a uniform color.Quote:

Here's an xivmodels view of said axe for evidence: http://xivmodels.com/?item/1809/Flam...tenant%27s-Axe -

You might want to put a spoiler on that second paragraph.

07-09-2014, 01:53 PMHakuroDKNot sure how to put a proper spoiler in there, so I changed the text color to wheat. Since there are no alt skins of this board, should work just fine.Quote:

Unfortunately, since they're not priests, the Immortal Flames uniform can only ever be a really, really dark blue.

That depends on what shade of black. If anyone remembers the dye colors, there's Soot Black and well.....the one that the retainer can only gather for you :P
But this question always puzzles me.
I'm holding a wedding on Friday in East Shroud and both me and the groom are in Immortal flames <__<;; I really need to be set on what color is immortal flames mainly, since all I've been seeing is near darkish-pale blue in Ul'dah >_<;
I'm so confused. Considering Fire is red I honestly thought that it would suit Immortal Flames better, and blue is basically a color of the ocean so I thought that it should be Maelstrom's ^-^;; -

The Immortal Flames are very clearly based upon the Immortal Lions from XI (both led by Raubahn, too).
The Immortals in XI were blue mages. -

If Twin Adders can Let the yellow go and embrace the green of the leafs that shroud us or even the white of candid petals of the lily---just please get rid of the yellow! Then you can have all the black you want, but don't come back saying that black is a bad choice colour for a hot desert area ;P

I swear Immortal Flames are purple, not blue. The elite mage set and basic soldier/lieutenant set all look purple to me, too.

Blue? It looks grey to me. Besides if the Flames uniform was black, they would just camouflage into the shadows and black is already claimed by the Ascians.
