Less robes, please

[Enkidoh]

I agree. However I wish mages could get some "glamour" armor like the kind tanks and dragoons wear and vice versa.
Who ever said that mages could only wear robes anyways. Its not like bulky-looking armor hinders us since we cant move while casting anyways :P

Gary Gygax did - the creator of Dungeons and Dragons, which pretty much every RPG since has utilized basic elements from - one of which is indeed, class restrictions for armour (specifically, the 'no heavy armour on mages' rule.) FFXI's manual actually stated that BLMs can't wear heavy armour because (paraphrasing) "it would otherwise interfere with their ability to concentrate".

Really, if you want to wear heavy armour, maybe you should consider a career change to a tank class methinks?

ITT: There's no pleasing anybody.

^This pretty much. Once again, no matter what SE does, it's always wrong.
