WHM gear is BUTT UGLY

Hey I said "modeled after" and not "exactly like".
Otherwise, the hood would've had those kitty ears motif (which would've been more fitting IMO).

But I don't feel like it is. The only thing they share are a hood and cloak, which aren't unique visuals by any means. The cat ears are pretty big considering they're the only aesthetic that the sage class has carried between games.

Also the sage isn't an upgraded white mage. It's more like an upgraded red mage with powerful black and white magics.
