Dragoon's Helmet Eyeshield Lifted! (Picture Included)

I don't agree. FFXIV's armor design is realistic, that's the charm point of it. It might be not as pleasing to the eye than armors in other MMOs, but at least it offers actual protection unlike the flimsy pieces of cloth stuck at random points of your character body ("armor" revealing the belly area, anyone?)

Soukyuu I get your point and I agree completely. I'm not saying make mages in half-naked pieces of cloth. I'm saying spice it up a little, maybe put small armour piece here and there, some shiny crystals, more detail to the robe, maybe a ripped or burned robe at the end, fancy collars around the chest and waist. That's what I mean by epic-looking armour. Not other mmos and their 'mages'.

I love the 'realistic' part of XIV as much as you do, I just don't like dull simplicity.






More like that.
I find BLM armours quite appealing, but WHM is plain boring.

Colliseum gear got released exactly because people were asking for more armor of that type. This is about the only exception and a lot of people complained about it back when those were introduced since they didn't fit the rest of the armors.

Aren't dungeon dropped gears good enough? Like the acolyte robe? Those "regular" boring armors are supposed to be like this I think, while dungeon gear is supposed to be more fancy. That's why I thought you wanted revealing gear.

@SE: your character limit per post does nothing but force people to doublepost.

You can post then edit your post as a work around on the character limit i believe. i may be wrong but it used to be that way at least on the beta forums.

Same argument he made on Beta forums and got about 30 replies of the revealing armor in XIV 1.x and mysteriously vanished. Anyway, they stated they're looking into the "/hood" command but that's all we ever heard.

You dun goofed then, white mages are all about being dull and not flashy, they are the Gregorian monks of FF
