What did Black Mage & Summoner do to deserve this?

[Lexia]

First the vday stuff and now this, alice and wonderland going to be calling asking for it style back

[WrenDark]

So want this!

[WiseWolfHolo]

Well if it is what it is going to look like come 2.2 guess my smn will b taking full advantage of vanity

[Gramul]

Why not? You'd look smashing in it

I look phenomenal in anything I wear, but that's not the point.

It looks really bizarre in this setting. And the fawning over it feels like people are more interested in playing dress up in whatever looks interesting more than they care about the aesthetic continuity of the world itself. I gave the primal gear a pass because whatever, it looks like it came from the enemy, sure. Allagan gear comes from an ancient era where everything was spiky and glowy. Weird but okay.

Tutu with a tophat, oversized ace card, and with fishnet stockings and possible tie.
Why and how?

Welp, final nail in the coffin.

Here's what appears to be a Summoner wearing the atrocity taken from the "Eorzea Collection 2014 Spring with Special Guests" video.

They couldn't even be bothered to design individual sets for each job.

How dare people use outfits I don't like!

If you're allowed to strawman other people's positions I'm allowed to say people who are against it feel like some really sad "my immersion!" types who want to tell others how to dress.

But these are just our opinions, and the only ones who actually get to say with authority what is and isn't kosher in this setting is the devs, who made these outfits.

[BunnyChain]

None could match his (Gerolt) sense for form and function, his creations earning the acclaim of disciples of war and magic across the realm. All who sought the finest tools of their chosen profession had eyes only for those fashioned by his masterful hands.

Yes, indeed.

Healer set looks boring. :C

I don't care that other people enjoy looking terrible; that's their prerogative.

This gear set almost makes sense for Black Mage, but for Summoner..? Summoning carbuncles ≠ pulling rabbits out of hats.

[Akujin]

I just want the hat.

Throw on a peacoat/vest and tights outfit.

Classy gent coming through!

Would be even better if they would give you an emote with a cane you lean on, or twirl by the handle at your side.
