Congrats, Bards, you're now *officially* bow mages.

(I'm just jelly because the new PvP healing robe is a bedsheet.)

*sigh*
...
Once again, the best looking gear is locked behind PVP.

:mad::mad::mad:

You'll take your bedsheet and like it.

...to each is own I guess. PVP gear is all stupid-looking rubbish aesthetically if you ask me. I *am* miffed about the ADS mount still being pvp-only though.

The gear looks silly as hell and they went lazy and shared the same model for most jobs.

........ yeah I dont think Bards mind. Dont know about the others but ill take "bow mage" over another court jester costume any day.

Wa-, it's beautiful. ; A ;

Where is this from? I want to see the other ones.

PvP new gear ^^ http://jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/blog/001101.html

I love the MNK.

and of course the MCH gun looks like a generic one

holy shit.... I've been waiting for new sets of PvP gears for a year and now I'm getting these boring gears. what's wrong with outfit designing in this game? it's getting worse and worse.

When I saw the MCH weapon I asked myself, "SE are you even trying?" I swear that's a sub 50 leveling weapon

Gauss Barrel is gonna look hideous on that thing, and GB is shitastic looking as it is

That disappoint me TOOOO! >_>
No way I set a footstep on PVP-map for these nice looking gears!

Why is everything about bards, always? I'm a machinist and i feel offended! I'm a mage gunner too! LOL

I guess I'll be spending my Wolfmarks on the new PVP weapons then... and perhaps the helmets. With the rank 45 set, it was nice having different sets for each class though it did get cumbersome on my inventory. Even the belt/waist was separate for each class (so one for WHM, one for SCH, one for AST) whereas for other gearsets, casters/healers/tanks have common gear. That was the downside, the upside of course is individuality that came from different looks between the sets (especially all the DPS ones). The Ninja set, Dragoon set were very distinctive from each other for example, vs. sharing a generic 'melee' look. Some people liked some of the sets and hated others, but that's where having personal choice comes into play.

I guess what it comes down to is if you're going to get the gear for the stats, then having more of it be shareable is ideal.... if it's for glamour, having them be unique is better. I'm guessing earlier on it will be the former, and later once we have a wider variety of gearing options at higher levels, it will be the latter.

I think that this gear definitely fits with new BRD gameplay.
Casterbards to action!

...I ...I ...I get to be a pretty pretty unicorn?! OH HAPPY FABULOUS DAY :D

You have the exact same problems Bards do, but you always had them so it's okay.
/shrug

Edit: I also didn't want to post the MCH picture because dear gods that gun is an embarrassment.

unicorn set for brd/mch? ....../comfort WHM's! :o

As a non-pvp player, I'll accept my defeat and I congratulate in advance those people getting that gear. :(

As a member of the Maelstrom and therefore someone who literally never wins Frontlines, I can tell you that the bonus you get for just showing up isn't half bad.

For a moment I thought this was another Minuet thread... but this is worse. Yay, more... animal-themed PvP armor.

I may have to start PvPing again >.>. Also.. Let's not complain about having good looking gear and mounts for PvP, there's barely any rewards as it is other than those. :p

I'm I to understand Bard got their own version of "Steady Shot" and now everyone thinks it's a caster?

A mallow with a unicorn mask :^)

Thankfully none of that gear appeals to me, although I still want that damn BLM fox from PVP :(

We got a new song which turns our skills into cast bars while increasing our damage.

Bards are very emotional it seems.

I'm so sick of robes and butt capes on DPS classes ~_~

did you guys see the "TWIN DRAGON CANNON FISTS!!!!" for monk though?
jesus that thing is mnk relic on steroids

Man apart from the fact that WHM really ought to have had the unicorn motif to go with our porcelain horse ... that new WHM set looks a bit ... uhhhh ... Klansmanish. D: Not as much as AST though.

I love generic muskets - No MCH ever

I'm not into robes. Seems the gear is trying to make me go to church. I just glamoured the bard law robe with the piece from Aery.

The astrologian and scholar looks like a mummy, well the face part anyhow, lol

It seems like it's slowly becoming a trend, now.

I leveled up a MCH just so that I can take a break from all the "robes" casters are forced to wear ... now many things are looking are looking like half-robes.

HHHNHNNNHNHNHNHNHNHNNHNHHNNNNGGGGGGGGG at that monk fist/gear so glad i stocked up on wolf seals and first thing im going to get

Here's to hoping they plan to add something like a ranger to the mix cause a job name of Bard doesn't seem like it would be a straight up run and gun archer archetype. I know there was massive hate at launch over bard.
