    Right, because mages should be able to wear plate armor.

    Pff, yeah as if. It's not like one of the most important characters in the main story-

    OH WAIT.

    Seriously, Papalymo aside of course they should be able to.

    Should it be the least effective thing for their class or somehow disrupt their magic? Sure. Should it lead to an entirely different and equally enjoyable style of play to those who wear robes? Even better!

    I will never understand why some people find 'you grasped a wand and all your clothes fly off because wrong class' the more correct option than either penalising wearing something class-inappropriate or getting inventive with the effects of non-standard attire. That's akin to waking up one day to the real-world's universal constant suddenly dictating 'trousers should fly from your touch because as a girl you can only wear skirts or hotpants' and just.. accepting it.

    Replacing the optimal attire system with one of level and class locks instead of fixing the original launch's poor systems balancing was a concession to limited development resources, not some blow for sanity and order in a world gone mad.

    EDIT: I see you fixed the image!

    Louisouix kinda gets up my nose somehow. I think it's from the impression he would have been so much more interesting and elegantly introduced in the original plan, but because of the rebuild project was just deployed as this walking exposition mechanism/spoiler for the original storyline's middle/later chapters.

    Soo... well, I personally do try not to remember him, too much >.> But that said, you're right still. He is another example of the plate-wearing mage rebels!
