4.0 Job them Armor sets

So let us talk about the new Job theme armor sets we will get in 4.0.

What is your opinion about them?

I notice the Machinist armor set is just basically meh for me.

Though Black Mage got Vivi for their 4.0 Armor set

BLM set honestly does nothing for me whatsoever. Every set is a coat or a tunic for BLM. When will we get our FF1 Black Mage -robe- that covers even your feet?

[Edit]: For clarity though I do want to say the BLM set does look great all the same. You can tell the people who worked on it put in a lot of time and effort into every detail. I'm sure it'll appeal to a lot of players being based off of a fan-favorite character as well. Its just, for me personally, I'd glamour over it.

I'm gonna be a pwetty pwincess \o/

No SMN? :(

I like the WAR set better than the 2.0 or 3.0 artifact WAR sets just from that glimpse, so I'm well pleased.

That SCH set looks pretty meh. :c

So, I'm a little salty, I used the benchmark character creator to see how my character looked in the lvl 70 MNK gear and while she looks pretty hot. It seems female characters do not get the tattoo that was shown on the WoL in the trailer. So...little upset there. :( Still love the look though, may make it my main mnk glam.

EDIT!

Sorry for the sloppy side by side but yeah, still kinda huffy and puffy bout this!

sorry forgot about that one but it is up. However, the full detail of the armor is limited due to being lalafell size :p

Not impressed by any of the sets, let's hope the glamour options/sets will be more impressive.

Yes actually like this one better than any other WHM gear.

Think I must be one of the few White Mages that actually dislikes the whole princess design xD

RDM is ugly as it just looks like recolored gear that we already have.

You echoed my reaction exactly! This is the best, most feminine WHM gear to date.

Sorry to the lads wanting more androgynous gear for healers. The Gods hath forsaken thee!

Lol we finally get to be pretty and not in ugly coats or robes. Wish I could say the same for the other healers.

Thanks for sharing. Looks pretty good but those shoes/legs are a huge killjoy for me because of that "metal" leg(?). Guess we have to wait and see till we get to try them

I more dislike that weird parting at the thigh of the unarmored leg. It feels like the lower parts of the pants are tied to the feet portion and those are just really well textured/modeled thigh boots. The pants really don't flow right. Everything north of the equator though is awesome!

Wow, that set is so pretty! This is so much better than 50 and 60 set for WHM imo.

Took a real liking to the PLD set my self. I love the image of a knight wearing cloth body/pants and metal gloves/boots, so it's a perfect set for me. It also doesn't have a lot of tacky décor pieces on it like the 3.0 set did. 3.0 Creed armor might have looked fine on a wide male character, but it looked warped and over all bad on my petite female character. Thankful, since this set is smooth and simple looking, that shouldn't be a problem this time around.

WHM is super pretty, kinda eeeeeh on the other 2 healers. Dye might fix the AST set for me, but the SCH set looks like the first af gear with a new hat.

BRD looks best, imo.

Another wacky Summoner outfit. I swear, the designer(s) must not know what to do with this job when it comes to designing the outfit.

What the hell are they drawing inspiration from to come up with this garbage? Can you design something other than a detached, skimpy toga?

Edit: Maybe I should look on the bright side...at least SMN isn't wearing dad jeans and old man loafers like SCH.

I like the Job AF, all of them the only downside is no tattoo for females on Monk AF. I noticed the Moonfaire chest item has no tattoo for females either, but males do have it. It could be this is a Japanese culture thingy?

The only relevant Summoner piece already exists, so what does it really matter?

Alternatively, if you need to dye it to another color to match the rest of whatever you've got going on in your glamour:
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/A...voker%27s_Horn

Anything else from Summoner artifact sets (including the other headpieces) is completely irrelevant to the Summoner's identity. If you don't like the look of the "toga" (lol) pieces, then just glamour something else to your body, arms, and legs that's more to your taste.

Holy shit, if I don't like the AF designs I can just glamour over them? Oh my god, you've solved everything. :rolleyes:

..Or maybe they can design better, varying pieces and not rehash a concept from AF2.

How is something that's completely different a rehash? Please tell me you're not being serious right now.

I saw DRK at fan fest I think but it was hand drawn. That freaking DRK and PLD armor is sexy as hell.

They honestly should be fine, as the Male AF version is masculine and distinctive enough from the female one (at least in art):
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...f86cd22621.jpg
I also faintly remember Devs receiving feedback about Heavensward WHM AF in particular and how they were going to do a better job of making distinctions in genders in the future. Don't quote me on that though.

It's those who play male avatars but would like the option to wear the female version (or one as similar to it as possible) for their character or those who play females and get tired of cosplaying as pretty princesses that will probably be disappointed. You can't please everyone though and there is a glamor system to help with that.

I'll be generous and say maybe half of the old jobs have nice new sets, but the other half don't look as good as their older artifact sets. I think samurai is the clear winner here with very beautiful and intricate and distinctive design.

A segmented, asymmetrical outfit resembling a toga. Detached sleeves. Horn. Legs exposed.

These designs wouldn't be so offensive if it weren't so impossible to glamour with. Unless you keep to the set pieces, it will look incredibly disjointed and wonky.

I remember hearing/reading about something like that. I'm just not sure they are actually making male/female versions of all the AF gear? But I guess they would have to in order to implement that idea.

Those are the exact peeps I was referring to :p And I know there are females out there as well who don't want to be princesses. However, the current glam options are currently in favor of those who want to look like princesses since the healer/mage gear constantly released are oversized robes that are gender neutral. With this AF, WHMs won't have to glam over it for a more feminine appearance. I've yet to use AF as glamour, and with this set, the probability is VERY high that I will.

But yeah, you're right. You can't please everyone, but I am happy with a lot of these new sets.

The only one that looked good was the war and whm one. The others are the same designs we saw in HW. Was hoping for something unique for blm and mch...I'm surprised the mch one looks as bad as it does.

Yeah.. Not gonna lie I was upset by that lol I wanna say that it could be just for the benchmark, but then I think and keep in mind about the games track record when it comes to customization.. Yeah, confident thats the way it is (hope to be proven wrong)

I'd say about 1/2 - 3/4 of the sets have me like "Ehh" & I love how RDM looks out of place in this shot. Like it should have been there with the HW Gear but showing up (2 years) fashionibly late lol

We knew for a while now that there were no new customization options (which I wont lie that it brought my hype down because ya'know, it's what you expect from an expansion). Gotta admit, it feels almost baron compared to other MMOs (on top of this being a Sub MMO btw). Its almost like the game really hates its customization lol ^^; /sadface

Meh. It looks like they took chunks of the World of Darkness healer set, combined it with some Weeping and Dun caster bits and then called it a day.

Will stick to custom glamour or the HW AF, thanks. In fact, I will do this for most of them SB AF sets; hope they change the "record" soon, it's been playing a long time - with only a decent verse here and there.

I think the RDM, SCH, SAM, NIN, and DRK look best.

Can someone pin point the AST set, please!

The AST is behind the PLD. And is a male xaela.

Here's a gif if it helps

Thank you!

I like the AST and WHM but whats up with another long coat on SCH? Though now I will definitely have to level BLM to be Vivi!

I'm excited for the PLD and WHM sets. Very nice.
