Picture of New Poetic Gear

[Gramul]

Sci-fi themed = massive turn off.

I think a good recoloring would help that.

Black and white with teal accents are a hallmark of modern high tech sci-fi design. Roman belts/skirts are an interesting touch.

But FF games traditionally have a sci-fi component to them... ^^;

Yeah. Almost always for the bad guys.
FF1- Evil time fortress.
FF2- The Dreadnought.
FF3- Crystal tower, but that's really more mystical than anything else.
FF4- Giant death robot.
FF5- Not a prominent theme.
FF6- Used by the evil empire. The final battle takes place on a mountain of it.
FF7- Literally killing the planet.
FF8- Could never hold my attention enough to check if the schools where actually evil.
FF9- Not a prominent theme. Technology and fantasy are pretty evenly mixed thanks to renaissance storybook style.
FF10- Actually not evil for once, but the group most skilled in it is ostracized for it.
FF11- Not a prominent theme overall. Some evil mechanisms but nothing with much focus.
FF12- Evil sky fortress thing. Not a major theme.
FF13- Using humans. Technology is the actual for real bad guy.
FF14- Our enemies have sleek industrial style mechanisms made to kill us to death.

FF13- Using humans. Technology is the actual for real bad guy.

Wait, it wasn't religion in that game? I didn't pay attention to FF13 at all.

Not necessarily religion, but the antagonists of the trilogy were all gods (with the exception of Caius), but then again Evil gods/pseudo-gods are par for the course for the franchise since at least VI or VII

Weird... the Patch Notes only list 6 Ironworks gear sets and 6 Dreadwyrm gear sets (Fending, Maiming, Striking, Aiming, Casting and Healing).

You expected Crafting and Gathering PvP gear? NIN will be DEX based so it will have the Aiming gear.

Also The Sol, Sol+, Allagin, High Allagin, LotA, ST, Darklight, and Direwolf gear also cone in 6 sets, with at least 3 sets be shared by 2 classes each (4 sets now)

I don't see where it says NIN specifically gets aiming gear, but I do see where they added DEX to all the old MNK gear, so more than likely the new Striking set is the gear NIN will have to share with MNK with DEX stats on it.

No, I was just referring to both the difficult distinguishing which of the 7 characters in the picture are wearing the same set as another and the fact that other people were insisting that the Ninja was getting its own set of Ironworks and Dreadwyrm gear this past week.

The pope allegory was a machine the whole time. He was trying to kill you so you could kill him along with another machine that would get the machine gods attention so he could come back and do... something.
