Crystal Tower Preview (lodestone post)

It's cool that the tank gear is unique. But I can not get excited about rolling on that for my Warrior.

Also, at 1:24, you can clearly see a Dragoon wearing the ugly blueberry armor. Again, very lame. I think I'll stay out of CT with my Dragoon and just keep leveling my warrior to be able to do some crystal tower runs.

Anyway, am I the only one that's disappointed with having to use 2 tanks, 2 healers and 4 dps even in premade groups? Where are all the "if you don't the like duty finder, you don't have to use it" people now? Not only do we have to use it, but we're forced into the lame-ass DF party composition now too?

Where was written that you can't use 3 healers (as example) in a premade group?

"Players can access the Crystal Tower via the Duty Finder either solo or in a party of up to eight players. When forming a party, players must first meet the class requirements of the Duty Finder before registering (two tanks, four DPS, two healers). Once registered, players will be matched with a group of 24 players to enter the Crystal Tower."

I'm sure they did this to stop people from griefing. Without this rule, people could form a group of 8 DPS, for instance and then hinder the other 16 players.

Yes the WoL is always portrayed as a warrior/fighter thus it being the tank gear. Drg is a light/med armor wearing class. Yes the drg could look better, but I think it goes back to one of the early FFs. Not sure which one but it reminds me of a concept art. Actually I just thought of the hand drawing of Kain's son on the cover of FF IV the after years where he's some kind of drg/pld cross class or something. Never played that one so not really sure.

The lalafell and female roe are wearing the exact same gear and are most likely different jobs so I think there is a good chance of it happening.

Most likely wont be able to Dye those, just like every dungeon gear it's unique and not customizable.

The red and white robes are for BLM/SMN and WHM/SCH.

I'd be happy, well, happier if that's the case.
I get the feeling the red one is for the offensive casters and white one is for healers. Like how they did Dark Light, which also can't be dyed. Though, too soon to be certain right now I guess.

They might not be dyeable but remember CT gear will be the 1st that will work with the vanity system. Whenever that is getting put in

Older gear won't work with the vanity system?

Because people couldn't grief with a preset party right! Not like they could, ya know, slow down on purpose or something if they want to grief.

Gotta love SE logic. People can soloheal Titan HM, solotank Coil 1-5, but they must have 2 healers and 2 tanks for a dungeon that's geared towards way lower iLvl than those two.
