Black Mage Gear Designs

[Dyvid]

Some people think cucumbers taste better pickled...

Seriously though, BLM's already have the iconic look going on plus multiple sets to mix that iconic look up. Where do you go from here?

You don't have to be draped in something that looks like a black potato sack for it to be "mage-like."

Just a few things that could be added that don't drape, and look like something a spell caster would wear.

You could have sets of armors that wrap around your torso that look like bandages with runes on them.

Design more sets of long robes with more designs, as you can see most of the normal gears have the problem of looking like the last with one new thing attached.

Maybe add some more short-cloaks.

There are literally thousands of designs to chose from, all you have to do is look at deviant art.

You guys are AOE kings and got a single target buff for no reason. You can't have it all.

BLM looks like theyre going to a renaisance party

We are. It's called Ishgard.

It is Mage like. In fact looks like red Mage just color black.

This right here. When I first saw this set, I was thinking "give him a rapier and dye the suit red. BAM Red Mage."

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Seer's_Tunic_Set- The chest piece on this set actually has a lot of similarities to the BLM gear. The square shaped pleat of the skirt as well as the upper section and sleeves.

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Genie_Weskit_Set - This set looks nothing like a traditional caster look. It looks like something a barbarian rogue would wear.

http://zam.zamimg.com/ffxi/i/images/...oyal-Cloak.jpg - This set is ok, looks a little more like something a healer would wear.

IMO it's pretty cool, it reminds me of the Magus job outfit in FF3:

I just want BLMs to look more menacing and not like jesters. We harbor powers of destruction... we should look the part >.>

Not gonna lie, I just pictured a superman glamour for black mage. Fire 2 from the eyes?
