PVP Gear Looks Better than PVE

[Jre418]

Why does the PVP gear look alot better then any PVE Gear?

Probably because we inherited the PvE gear from 1.0 whereas the PvP gear are all new designs? I'd imagine they wanted to do something special and unique but had to go out into left field as the game had already snagged some of the simpler designs as quest rewards and craftable recipes.

This is true.

Why is that a problem? It's not like it's going to be handed to you on a silver platter. I can't think of anything more balls-to-the-wall hard/challenging than going up against skilled players.

Also, you're speaking about concept art against what we currently have in-game at this very moment. There is nothing to stop them from creating really awesome-looking gear for PvE players.

I'm much more interested though in why this is such a problem for you. In fact, I recall back on Aetheryte Radio where host Fusion X complained about the high level class gear being limited to just classes as opposed to jobs. I don't understand why people take such offense to this. They're incentives for people to actually use or do certain types of content in-game, and I'm willing to bet that if you tried it, you might actually like it.

But seriously, I'm so excited or PvP. Can't wait to see all you badasses lining up for a thorough spanking from the Midgardsormr Basilisks!

I'm trying to figure out which armor belongs to which class so I can pick my second class to level. I think the white one is for conjurer? stag is for arcanist, lion for gladiator, fox thamaturge the rest i cant figure out

The class is faction based from what I have seen. Limsa is always the best muahaha.

Yoshi understands and embraces one simple fact.

There would be no PVP in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn if players couldn't win sweet looking armor.

MMORPGs are a fashion show, always have been and always will be. Crazy looking armor has always been the biggest, fattest carrot on a stick most players strive for.

It is better because if they made things all the same quality people would complain... oh wait.

I prefer the PVE looks. It's all about personal taste/preference so one can't be labelled better than the other.

Because it's so much more unique than what we have now. I'd kill to wear that PvP gear in PvE, it's great.

I'm not a PVPer but that gear looks pretty rad. The paladin one kinda looks like Ornstein from Dark Souls.
