OMG PLD Armor....

I just want to go on record here for a minute. This may not get upvotes or a bunch of replies. People seem to dismiss or ridicule positive feedback as useless so I'll make this quick....

...Thank you for making PLD pretty again. I wasn't very vocal about it as it seemed silly to be but I strait hated the Creed set. The wings were dumb, the contours bothered me and the whole thing was just gross. I mean just look at the top of the page, nasty right?

This is after the Gallant and Valor sets which really stood out I think from their packs. Creed was just so blah.... this new set is everything I wanted Creed to be. Sleek, symmetrical, nice shoulders, a badass cape. Thanks again.

I agree with you completely. Perfect balance of cape, knighthood and cloth/armor. My boyfriend's Paladin is going to look so good wearing this ^_^

I hope we get some more bulky tank armour in Stormblood but it is so nice to have a good looking set for the paladin!

cape + tail. -shudder-

I've got to agree with you, I don't even play Paladin but it easily has one of the best looking AF3 sets.

Only bit I don't like is the black underskirt thing. Otherwise I agree its a pretty nice looking set for PLD.

I agree. During the 2.0 period, i found that the Paladin AF was very pretty and made me look Gallant (as the name of the gear implied).

(I even made a brown version of it more recently, but it didn't wear it for a long period of time)

That image was lost for a while with the Tome gear and followed, so i switched to the Serpent Elite gear, to get that "Chainmail"-look back.

After that, Heavensward introduced the AF2, which was the Creed Armor. It had a high Fantasy feel to it, but some elements on it looked wierd, like the wings on the chest area.

In order to make my Paladin look Gallant / elegant again, i used the Defiant set (which dropped in Pharos Siruis HM and the Arboratorium). This is the set i still wear to date.

However, i'm very pleased with the look of the AF3 Paladin gear, and i can't wait to get my hands on them. (^_^ )-b

Imgur via reddit.

I'm still laughing when I saw those pictures. Seriously, can't blame PS3 limitations on those kind of things anymore..WWWwwww~!!!

And I totally agree with this.

Either no capes or cut them at the waist so this kind of shenanigans don't occur. As for split caps, it's kind of a stupid workaround.

Overall the design is very good looking. My sympathies for the tailed races.

I'm so excited for that drk AF 3 OMG

not really a fan of the cape but I really like the style of the PLDI armor itself

Isn't that the Ninja AF, though?

Cecil has a cape and is the first named Paladin in the franchise.. that sort of sets the standard IMO. Course he's in my party in FFRK and FFIV was one of my favorite games so I might be a bit biased. :p

That armor looks pretty awesome, I dare say myself. :D

OMG, the DRK gear looks like Trash...

i like simpler designs though. figured i'd go with a wandering knight motif.

Please let us have multiple ways to glam the same gear. Pleeease, SE. I want that Pally glam but then my Warrior and Dark Knight don't get theirs. :(

i suggest you to grab Skofnung for your DRK then - it's the most detailed and beautiful sword of the simpler designs :O it drops from Sohm Al

a bit much light, but the blade looks really nice, like an engraving... don't know how to call that in english xD

I love this design a lot for the paladin.

However my heart sinks knowing that its shareable tank gear. And since we still don't have or have not heard of separate class glamours, it just wouldn't fit my DRK.

Still, I find it really dope as eff

I agree that armor looks amazing, I saw someone diss it on another site and I was like O.o... really? lol Opinions are opinions but I think its great. Will def. collect!

DRK gets a different lvl70 set, check out the Benchmark on YT (just be sure to pause it when its on the ready party!) https://youtu.be/3_JxY2pRHn4?t=4m50s

Left to Right:
DRK BLM BRD SCH SAM WHM PLD NIN DRG
All these SHOULD be the lvl70 AF

Wait...hold on..how do you preview all the job's AF3 armour?? :confused:

I personally like the "Balisarde".

The plain look and the leather straps makes it look like something a simple wandering adventurer would use (in my opinion).
Drops in The Aurum Vale.
