Melee DPS/Range DPS Contest Picks

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...d6a163d1e3120e

So many amazing designs. Especially for male characters. SE should seriously consider just making more sets from these contests instead of one. The designs are GREAT.

Edit- These 2 melee designs stuck out. I think they're really cool.

Some of the designs are superb. Especially the Far Eastern looking ones.

I particularly like the sneaky thief set for melee.

Please, no more long drapes/cloaks/coats/dresses for melee DPS. We need cool outfits that looks light and fast.

since SB I've pretty much mained BRD so Ive been excited to see the ranged designs

Arkham Knight job

This one is gorgeous! I just wish the artist had included the male version of it as well. It has some beautiful details.

For melee I like the blue and white one Rokke posted as well as this one. We don't have enough "savage" looking gear, imo and I just love all the feathers and fur and teeth!

I like this one alot too. The female version could use the male pants though because without it it looks pretty samey. The male version is perfect though.

I like both male and female of this. The Elezen nails the set and the female set is nice. I could imagine actually using some of it.

I got really excited then saw my design didn't make the cut. ;u; But I lost to some really good competition so it's fine. \o/ A shame we won't see any of these till 5.0, though.

I'm tempted to post my failed entry somewhere since I can't get disqualified if I lost lol

There is a thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...Design-Contest

There are some pleasant surprises in the short list, I just hope SE doesn't go overboard with modifications like they did with the healer and caster gear. And please for the love of god, if they pick a design that doesn't have boring pants, don't make us wear boring pants.

Love the chest and leg pieces, looks light and mobile.

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/gdcd...OUjgM/m004.png
Really digging the tattoo on the back and it would work as-is for both genders. Also made me realise there's a distinct lack of gear that shows off backs in this game.

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/gdcd...OUjgM/m024.png
The design is great, sexy and lean and not too complicated.


Ranged:

Love me some steampunk aesthetics- it's classy and I think it'd translate well into the game itself.

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/gdcd...OUjgM/r035.png
Cute without being too child-like.

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/gdcd...OUjgM/r015.png
Absolutely dashing.

There's also a thread here where people are posting entries that didn't win. I'm sure we'd all love to see it!

I kinda like this one, and I think it could actually work on MNK and/or NIN as well...

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/gdcd...OUjgM/r043.png

Still lookin through them but I really liked this one.

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/gdcd...OUjgM/m009.png

I also never thought a moogle set would get a good look, but here we are.

This one was my entry! I'm really happy with the idea and just glad it got noticed at all. In my mind all those blocks of colour and floating bits would be animated and swirling around nebulously.

I will say, even though there's a lot of great entries, it bothered me a few of these broke contest rules and were allowed through to the final 48 anyway. :/

Even if they just give us this one as a craftable glamour(PLEASE DO THIS IF IT DOESN'T GET IMPLEMENTED AS ACTUAL LEVELING GEAR!!!!) I would be happy.

I'm in agreement. Some of them didn't have or at least meet the same requisites that all of us participating had to abide in. It's kind of disheartening a bit.

Some of them are kind of questionable as to why they became finalists too like the insanely odd and bright red, blue, and gold...I think it's a pharaoh or mummy design for melee.

There's also two melee finalists that are from the same person too which makes no sense since the rules stated (1) entry per person in each category if they chose to do so, not (2). You can't just make rules and then break them later, even if you are the devs, lol. Some didn't even have the front and back either which was considered mandatory under the rules too.

There's also two designs in ranged made by the same person, lol. Can't we call that grossly unfair and cheating the system...?
