Less Dress Gear in this game maybe?

Especially as a Tank, why do every of our Armor are dress like? They look good on Female, but not so much on Male Characters. Are they doing this so they don't have to re-work the armors for both Male and Female? Personally, I would like different variety, even change the look of what it look like on Male and Female. Other MMORPG do this, it add more unique to the gears.

Tank Armor beside Artifacts have all been Dress Like Gears. I don't know, but it would be great to get different variety of gears in the future. I'm tired of seeing trend coat like Snow Gear in this game.


Here some few example over the course recent Gears.

They are long coats, not dress
They are open in the front

i have never had any problem with the tank gear.. the i90 tank gear looks amazing. But yes, i can admit that the i100 is pretty ugly. From the looks of it the new gear for tank is going to look pretty good though. And you can always glamour something if you dont like it!

I know, but it would be great to see different variety in the future instead of Trend Coat all the time. The Poetic Gears does look good though.

I like this new Tomestone gear look. The new Tomestone weapon are great as well since they have that High Tech look to them.

HA Tank Gear is "BAUSS"

Glamour them with these:

High Tech? Bards get a freakin' railgun for a handheld weapon, we don't even have that in real life!

Joking aside, I don't mind gear design in this game all that much...*coughEvenstarcough* Definitely want that magitek armor though.

but i love dress gear ~_~ i dislike all this bulkey technology gear things ~_~

Yes
I also asked me, why it is only coats after i70

What I don't want: wide variance in the appearance of a piece of equipment between genders.

What I'm okay with: way less flowy, capey, skirty stuff.

I wear the Sentinel set on my paladin for this very reason... it covers me from head to toes in functional mythril armor, and doesn't have extraneous bits to get sucked into jet engines or revolving doors.

<edna-mole>
NO CAPES!

I've seen it on other races. Still don't like it. (My opinion of course)

I hate how this game keeps making mages look like a nun.

I play mages in every MMOs and they all have good-looking gears, except for FFXIV.

That evil clown gear isn't discussed in polite company. Still trying to pretend it's not in the game.

This thread is kind of silly. No sillier than most of the other "waiting for patch" threads, but really.... I guess the OP has never played certain other MMOs where robes, skirts, and long coats are the norm for both genders. It's all common fantasy fare, especially for wizardly and priestly types, and unlikely to change.

Ok, I had to laugh at that one. Because it's true.

I know they are normal in fantasy mmorpg. But it just nice to see if it look different on both gender, and more variety of the gear we get right now then just make all tank gear trend coat.

Just like how the Soldiery look bad on Tank Female because of the six packs and how bulky it is.

I guess that's fair :) I can always support more variety.

You know, though, that most game artists' idea of making gear differ by gender is to give women bare midriffs and cleavage windows/sideboob/underboob on any given outfit, so results can be a little mixed even if the intention is good lol.

glamour is here to solve all your problems my friend.

On a more serious note. The armors we've been unearthing and reforging mostly come from one culture. The Allagan Empire, it makes sense that there would be similarities among the sets, while still having obvious discrepancies because of the different ranks of the Allagan hierarchy.

Hmmmm... dunno about you OP, but I LOVE to look like an elegant baus while tanking. Heck, to be honest, I like all the robe styles of the various job classes. Its an intentional art style that translates with the theme of Eorzea

And like Felis very rightly said, they are long coats (+1 to you for that)... the coats are generally also referred to as surcoats and have been worn by knights and elite mounted calvaries since the 12th century. Also, any self respecting Final Fantasy fan will realize that this long coat style has always been one of the main styles traditional to the series.
