I think it might have something to do with the outfit fitting both the game's current aesthetic as well as probably flowing better with a lot of different armors.
Remember, Cloud's outfit from FFVII was purplish blue, while his advent children (and thus this) outfit is darker blue-to-black. In addition the only real difference i'm seeing after looking at a LOT of pictures is the skirt. It's not even completely like the Advent Children outfit since it doesn't have the sleeve he wore in that movie to cover up his geostigma symptoms.
And since the two outfits were similar to begin with, all it really has from the advent children outfit is the long skirt-thing. And we all know FFXIV's devs have a hard-on for skirts. Seriously, finding a piece of endgame "special" gear that doesn't involve some form of skirt, longcoat, etc. is next to impossible.
