Save our pugs dignity.

[Vackashken]

Please, we're not pirates and we're not some kinda of masochistic leather-bound fighting force! Please give us some kind of appropriate armor design that isn't based of Black Beard and crew or the local slave and master sex shop.

Please! A little dignity in our fighting apparel!

PLG = Playboy pitfighter! They can dress like this...put some shirt, some blackglasses, a tight leather pants, lots of jewelery and way to go! o/

But seriously...i like PGL looking...at least for female characters! ^^ The thing is that we can say that pug can be seen as a grunt, bodyguard, pitfighter, etc...its not a martial arts fighter so those fancy equipments monks use doesn't fit the class. You see...if i was to dress PGL accordingly to its background i'd end in something similar to Super Street Fighter IV's Dudley. You can see fis outfit fits perfectly any of the "roles" of the class.

LOL! But then how would you dress him like? I think some fancy coat and some ellegant looking would fit the class the best...after all the Platinum Mirage is a casino...and PGL's are the dude how go charge money and beat the hell out of those who can't pay what they owe to the casino. =P

And if you think they're also Ul'dah's army, its still NP...is Scotish army can use skirt to fight, why would we deny Ul'dah army for using subligar to fight =P

The Pugilist look is fine, since we have an evasion focus our armor should be minimal to allow us mobility. Shirts, Jackets and Harnesses work fine for this and give us a distinct look if anything.

I like the current looks too but need to be more Monk oriented too, since pugilist are the martial arts fighters of this game and I don't really care what their name is, they are clearly intended to be Monks.

IMO they are not martial arts fighters ^^: Just because they use hand-to-hand doesn't mean they are martial arts fighter.

Also, monk is one of the top classic classes of FF...its like paladin, black mage or dark knight...it WILL be an advanced class. Hopefully it will not only use h2h but also stuff like feet, poles, nuchakus, chains and other blunt damage weapons! ^^

I will say again what Ive said in another topic.
Pugilist are meant to be the H2H combat class that exist in other games with different names.
Before they say that Monks are gonna be in, Pugilist was what Brawlers - Scrappers - Monks - Bruisers are in other games, name doesn't matter, it's the class that was intended to be that matters.

That's why I want them to be more Monk oriented with kicks etc (remember actual Kicks where added much later to Monk's arsenal in FFXI too even though they had moves like "Combo").
I am just saying that this class should play and look more like Monk and not Thief, unless they have a plan to branch these to classes later (much like Warrior and Paladin from Gladiator for eg).

I want to wear Ryu's bandana, I wanna wear Kempo Gi, I wanna wear Black Belt etc and I like to Hit things with my fists and legs, that's why I chose this class as my primary class.

And BTW this is not Ranting, this is what I expect (and hope) from a H2H class to be.

Personaly I think the hard leather armor is a good looks for this class. I do not see pugilists as monks, and the game does not portrate our class this way either. In my opinion leather outfits are better for the looks on fighters such as pugilists of FFXIV. As Lienn mentioned pugilists are working out of a guild that works as a casino. That is a not a place for a monk.
Monks suppose to help out and talk about piece in time of war, and based on the class rank 20 and 30 leves that you do for Platinum Mirage, Pugilists are nothing about piece.

What I would like to see is addition of more foot wear that looks like knee high boots or above the knee high, or as Armored Caligae. The shoes that are available for R40+ armor do not appeal to me at all. Besides, if we were to get some moves that will envolve us kicking, I rather hit something in a head wearing footwear that has few metal plates on it.

I know that pugs are portrayed as bouncers in this game, but if they are going to evolve into Monks I would like to see matching gear.
