Here's how the Jobs will look like. They're on the cover of November Famitsu Connect

Yea, dark purple. But not black.

Black, midnight blue, and purple highlights. One example.

Why does it matter anyway? It's a colour. Dragoons have been black, purple, blue, red, and many other colours. There is no set colour for dragoon.

Since I half expect the jobs and their artifact armors, if and when it comes down to them, to mimic that of FFXI, so i half expect FFXIV Dragoon armor to be Purple.

This isn't FFXI and it won't be FFXI. That is your first problem.

Edit: And thank god because if everything looked like it did in FFXI, such as the Ahriman, I would want to scream. That was the worst Ahriman design in the entire FF series. FFXIV probably made the best design. A lot of the designs in FFXI sucked.

I for one am glad that its not Royal Purple, and that they are going with more of a Kain look to DRG this time around than XI did.

Thank god they didn't use all the same races and thank god all the Job names and roles wont be the same either too right /endsacrasm.
No arguing FFXI sucked, i think the same way. But since jobs patch is still 3 patches and possibly a good 4-6 months left, like the pre-1.17 evil armor picture, that famitsu picture and everyone's assumptions on what will unlock what and what will will have to unlock is also nothing set in stone. Hell the changes for 1.19 are still 'subject to change'.

They used the same races to make it feel better for the players from FFXI getting into FFXIV. They're not going to base everything else on FFXI, especially endgame stuff.

And, the job classes are using the names from the classic FF classes, which the XI ones derived from. Based on your arguments I am going to assume you have never played the prime FF games of the series which these armours and FFXI itself derived from.

Edit: And I'd had better hope that the Famitsu picture is accurate, because it takes several months to get that kind of stuff ready. If they only decide to change all the outfits this month, you won't expect to see your beloved armour for another half a year.

It's wrong to assume stuff about people. I'm talking mostly of the games current trend, and that trend is to appease those who desire the game to be more challenging and more like FFXI. It will never be exactly like it, hopefully, but it will be more like it. Where do you think the idea for exp chains is coming from? I don't remember any classic FF games having EXP chains, and I haven't played any other MMO's with it, besides XI. They will possibly have skill chains sometime at or after 1.20 too. It is a possibility that none of the end-game(?) looks will stay as in the picture.

A couple of things from FFXI does not make the game a clone of FFXI. They have been taking things from other FF games too. Hence the armours.

Edit: Does the fact that the game has materia make it FFVII?

Obnoxious Edit 2: If yes to the above question, we might as well make dragoons look like this. Here is the dragoon from FFVII.

Ludicrously Sarcastic Edit 3: Oh look he's not purple.

[Reika]

So all the others will look the same but the 'dragoon' must be different, because it is 'dragoon'.

Looking at the picture again, it could very well be a scythe the 'dragoon' is wielding.

[OMEGA_HACK]

Although its not, the day that Dark Knight gets jump... (because there is no doubt in my mind) that is what the character in the back is doing (his belt is getting lifted from the wind as he descends the jump) plus classic jump poses, they are really similar to this one.

That leg is always up, has to be jumping therefore has to be Dragoon, is this not enough conclusive evidence to end the dark knight possibility. Also not to mention why the hell would someone hold the scythe like that? The blade is usually above you, not below you.

Also its not really "different" its about the same different as the MAR's viking/beastmaster/warrior/beserker and the GLA's paladin attires.
