MCH themed gear

I'm not sure if others feel the same but I personally love the MCH Artifact armor. I really like the vest look, the half coat to the side and, most of all, the plethora of satchels and pockets on the same side as the MCH's free hand. I only really don't like how low the zipper is and the puffy sleeves, though those are tolerable.

My main issue is that after glamoring this piece, I haven't found any other gear that seems appealing as a MCH (in particular). Aiming sets are grouped for both MCH and BRD, so what we get is something generic but usually leaning towards the BRD aesthetic more.

I hope we can get more pieces like this one. I know the pockets only really suit MCH but sets feel empty w/o to me. It really seems like the only glamor that fits that particular style of steampunk.

Not exactly steampunk, but... http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Wrangler%27s_Set this one isn't so bad imo.

Yea, the Wrangler set is pretty good. It does go for a more western look, but that's fine. It still works since it has accessories (bullet belt, satchel and even a grenade). I also really like the side cape thing and it also has that. Thanks for pointing it out.

I haven't looked at everything, but I'm hoping they design some more future gear like this.

You should also check out this set:

I wouldn't want to use that on my bard.

Ninjas have the same issue. Our gears are usually a color-swapped version of monk gears. Hope 4.0 will bring more Japanese gears to the game.

Summoner is the same way. :(

the new pvp chest from the event looks great on machinist.

No, get rid of them altogether. :3

A lot of the more recent aiming gear has been more MCH oriented than BRD but all the old gear is definitely BRD oriented since MCH did not exist then.

try the 3.5 dungeon set. I personally love it for mnk and mch. The aiming set is the one the male miqote is wearing while the mnk is the female au ra. If these can be dyed in the future (which I hope it will) I would absolutely love it.

Yes, I played NIN for some time and that was the case a lot. It's even worse because they have their own specific set but it's not made unique. It's also not uncommon that the MNK set matches the BRD.

That I agree with, though it's still not really in the same style.

Thank you for pointing out which one. I haven't seen the aiming drop yet so I wasn't sure which set was for which job.
While I think it's very cool and making sets with different themes is fun, I'm really talking about the more tradition steampunk MCH aesthetic for it'a AF. This one is full on metal gear solid, which is cool and very unique compared to what we've had before.

I really want more Victorian era clothing with gadgets all over. Messy and elegant at the same time, you know?

I don't agree. None of the time gear suits MCH, especially the Lore set. For Alexander, I think only the Midas set looks MCH leaning. It has tech aspects in all the Alex gear but before MCH exists BRDs wore Coil's Allagan gear. That's just the theme of the place.

Which is really my main issue, is that they go for the theme of the place over the job identity. I think there could be some middle ground there but BRD and MCH are too different thematically for there to be an easy fix.

I mean, I haven't checked all the dungeon gear but the time gear being so hard leaning is disheartening.

This.

It also has the benefit of being dyeable.

Some of the Alexander pieces are pretty well suited to a MCH. The latest dungeon set is as well. Then there's the 'Sky Pirate' crafted set which, again, is well suited to the MCH aesthetic.

Neverreap and Fractal Continuum have a solid gear that is well suited to a MCH as well.

I like that it is dyeable as well..it's great and I am probably gonna be using it for awhile..wanted another coat type chest piece for a long time now.
