FFXI Armor for Mages?

Since end game armor really only boils down to coil/tome sets it is always really nice to get sets like these for glamor purposes, and as a ffxi vet i love these throwback sets (wootz curiass and mail) but was wondering where is the throwback for mages?

Maybe something like the Igqira Weskit for BLMs?

never really did anything except blm and sam so if you can think of another iconic mage set from ffxi i would love to see ideas.

hmm while i like this idea... id like to see our Armors be more ff14 related and given some more thought into game specific ideas.

But, i would love to see some of that sexy samurai/monk/ninja armor level 70 stuff the green run ill see if i can find a picture ot edit later ;o

You talking about the Usukane set? i literally quit the game because i realize i would never get this for my sam T_T

I was just more so talking about the throwback "wootz" sets... all other sets i would like to see stay with ffxiv's lore.

The Ares and Koenig sets (The Wootz armors for DRG/Tank) were salvage/sky respectively so in-line with that it might more sense for them to have something like the Nashira set from Limbus or the Shadow Coat set from Einherjar if they're going for a "Throw-back to XI 75 Endgame feel". The Igira armor was very iconic (To me at least) back in XI's "peak", I wouldn't mind seeing it in this game either.

most of the armor put in is 14 related, but i don't mind having the crafted equipment be armor from 11. I'd like to see all of the Salvage and Abjuration gear added alongside some of the other popular pieces like the aforementioned Igqira set or even lower level things like the Eisenbrust set would be cool to see again.

yeah i figured i was gonna mix up expansion sets... that was many brain cells ago LOL, that shadow set is sex tho.

I'd love to see the next AF gear set for DRG in 14 to look more like the one from 11, 11's style was better imo, a case of less is more. It also, for females, doesn't have one very fatal design flaw right in the centre like 14's does.

With a bit changes here and there and other colors and maybe more clothes around the arms, why not? ^^

Here are a few sets from FFXI I wouldn't mind seeing for NIN/MNK/SMN/SCH/WHM/BLM since those jobs didn't get a design set from XI just yet, since SE decided they wanted to do it for tanks/DRG.

I just want my WHM condom hat back (lol no I don't, it'd be hidden anyways!)

I always did love the Nashira set, even if I never got it! Or maybe I just like midriffs.

Beee careful! Squeenix might hear the people want ffxi mage gear and BOOM, slops for everyone! Ridiculous spiky shoulder pads too because why not.

Let us never forget the horror that was hats in xi as well. Every hat in the game came with flaps that hung down so that they wouldn't have to code for hair. This game is a MILLION times more fabulous.

The game is also 10 years older and had to deal with Ps2 Limitations

I forgot how horrible some XI armor was @_@;

Two words: Noble's Tunic.

If ever there was a piece I'd like to see added into ARR, it would be that robe. Aside from having incredibly sexy stats, it was also one of the best looking outfits in the entire game. When paired with the Blessed legs, feet and hands you truly felt like a White Mage.

And has more low res textures than XI at times.

Vermillion Cloak.

Beast master AF (Already kinda exists in Warrior, just make it more animalistic, like bst master AF!

Different designs of Scale Armor, Like the level 30 Centurian gear.

And I might get flack for this, but the Bone Armor, please bring that back, but with the color's actually showing for each of the types, bone, beetle, scorpion...I forget the rest.

Oh and the doublet armor, but make all the little accessories visible :D

I'll stop there...I really liked the armor in xi, and I <3 this armor in ffxiv too! So these all are for glamouring purposes, and different options for mages and melee at lower levels.

There were some sets that were not well designed, of course... but thats not to say that there were some winners in the group. Being fabulous is just as important as ilv to me lol and ffxiv does a great job in the design department.

looking around for another set for the smn/sch to match the igquria set (because there is two wootz sets)... maybe something like this?

http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...47/Eaf_sch.png

A lot of nice sets added in later expansions that i never saw.

That BLM outfit got me to lvl BLM in FFXI. I don't like to play casters at all (hence those are the only ones I did not lvl in FFXIV), but that outfit though..

Would be nice to see some "throwback" FFXI gear!

We are aware that there is a desire to have more unique armor for Disciples of Magic and we see the requests to add in FFXI-themed gear sets for mages. Though we can’t make any promises, the development team will consider including these suggestions when they work on designing new equipment for Disciples of Magic.

And as always, thanks for the feedback!

I want more FFXI ports in general. FFXI had some amazing armor designs.

If I had a black mage I'd want him to look this this. Yes that includes the pixels.

It's not a port, it's a complete redo onto a new model, using the old design and style.

Anything from the Aht Urhgan expansion of XI. All of the tunics were amazing!

I understand that. It's obvious from the higher texture resolution and polygon count.

omg if you guys add Marduk set I'd be so flippin happy! Never was able to get it in XI but always thought it was super pretty ^_^

i would love to see more FFXI armor in general
take your pick of anything that already exists in 11

BUT if i had to pick:
I WANT MAH DAMN WHITEMAGE PANTALOONS BACK!!!

Amazing to get notice from the devs, i know it is a long shot but since Yoshi is a Blm i figured it's also something he would want to see. And that roe whm vest its so wow lol, we can include that ^_~

I would love to see more brought over. The Ares and Kornig sets(Wootz Mail/Cuirass sets respectively) look amazing with FFXIV graphics. I will not stop until I have them both for my drg and pld.

I would really like to see the Byrnie/Hauberk, Aketons, Gi-types, Scorpion Harness, and even the Aht Urghan styled gear. FFXI had a bunch of really great looking armor stuffs that, I think, would be gorgeous on this graphics engine. Long, flowing Vermillion Cloak anyone?

I especially want to look like Leonoyne, the leader of the Savage Hound Condotties. He was my favorite general, and just an overall badass.

That's the "Thick" armor set. It was high ~60'ish gear for DRK/WAR/PLD (I think BST could wear it, too). Agreed, that's a really nice set. I'd love to see more XI-themed sets in game, like this one. Maybe they'll give us the XI-themed AF gear sets. :P Some of them wouldn't be any different from the ones in game now, like PLD. But I'd prefer a more traditional BLM set. Or THF. lolBRD

Not a mage set but make it so the Sha'ir attire I loved it on my bard and the Opo opo crown I love how dainty the girl version is.

Not my character in the pic above but very close to it.

If we're making FFXI port suggestions, I want to see the dalmatica.

While seeing a lot of these screenshots brings back memories, it also makes me appreciate just how much more amazing the gear looks in FFXIV. I used to think FFXI's Seer's gear was gorgeous, now it pales in comparison to pretty much anything we have in Eorzea.

One thing I always hated about FFXI is how there were no actual robes. Even as a WHM, I was forced to wear pants. And while we're talking about WHM gear, let's not forget the 'condom hat'. *shudders* FFXIV WHM AF > FFXI WHM AF
