To be honest I always kind of liked how koreans over-stylise things and make everything look awesomely flashy, sure it's a copy and can be considered tasteless but who cares? It's just a nice bit of eye-candy so the game doesn't look grim and dull and boring. Besides, Dante and Nero in Devil May Cry have stuff like this all over the place and people love that series, never heard anyone say they looked Korean.

Seriously before you judge gear like this try playing S4 League for a bit, it'll probably make you change your mind on overly flash stuff.

It's kind of funny, people were saying how Eorzea looks bland and dull and the colours are very pastel, and now they're getting something colourful and flashy they're complaining about it.
