Best and Worst AF2?

[ElHeggunte]

MNK reminds me of Blazekin from Pokémon....and that's not wholly a bad thing.

It's heavily based on Yang Fang Leiden's outfit from FFIV. I've been waiting to wear it ever since we saw the preview almost two years ago.

Ha ha WHAT

Armourer is GARBAGE

You have problem with my taste? I like those style if it's shared, it maybe suits well both Armorer and Blacksmith.

Best - Weaver. No contest.
Worst - Ninja. Because it looks almost exactly the same as the AF1. Just another generic looking ninja set.

Best: SMN/AST

Worst:SCH/MNK

Well you can always pray for AF3 to be based on a different Ninja character from FF series. Like Edge from FF4.



AF2 is based on Shadow from FF6 and it even has is signature side horn on the head gear.

lots of people mentioned it. I searched for it and now can't stop laughing.

Some developer has clearly been watching The Mighty Boosh.

SCH's boldy/legs/feet make sense, but those gloves look like some kind of zany contraption "aethercell gloves" sounds like a crazy mad scientist invention to boost aether potency or something. The hat looks like a vaudeville or carpetbagger hat from the 1800's. I would have preferred if SCH's AF2 looked more like a Doctoral gown seeing as AF1 and Myth gear looks like a Bachelor/Master robe with mortarboard. A perfect example would be FFXI's Savant set (for those that don't know, pretty much all the AF2 in FFXIV were named after FFXI's AF3 or "Empyrean" gear, including Scholar's 'Savant' set. FFXI's savant set was like a lab-coat looking doctoral gown and a doctoral bonnet(PhD's get bonnet whereas bachelors and masters get mortarboards).



DRG's looks cool but I don't like the tail. I also think it looks like a little too power rangersish...it's very spandexy looking.

They said they based MCH's abilities and style off of Mustadio from Final Fantasy Tactics, so I was hopeful their AF would pay homage to him...but they dropped the ball. AF looks more like Balthier which is FINE because everyone loves Balthier, but still would have preferred Mustadio because he's the OG.

Well in a way it is true since we have Mustadio's side bag and leg bag. Only difference is that the bags are attached to a side leg sleeve.

In fairness, it'd be harder to make something closer to Mustadio's gear since he's basically wearing open overalls with a yellow shirt underneath (I'm guessing it'd give the model design team a headache in trying to figure out how to make that work). The leg sleeve/drape on the MCH body looks tacky to me, but then again I've never liked that sort of element when used in character designs.
