Male Armor Sets too flamboyant. Bring full armor back!

Yeah I actually got pretty ticked off that dragoon is the only class that got a unique lore armor.

To be fair, there's a valid reason for that.

Like Garuda, a good deal of Dragoons tend to die easily and then dissipate into aether.

it does feel like sometimes the healer outfits were made for females characters in mind then making it for males. eso healer gear is a good example of this.

Sorry, my fault for being lazy and not quoting the other posts I saw when I was skimming the thread. That part was for other posts I saw that respectively brought up those points.

My original point was basically just that it's kind of frustrating playing a male mage in this game when it feels like a lot of the gear wasn't made for you. I'm at least lucky enough to play a SCH so I can fall back on my eso gear for the most part. AST dudes must be feeling it pretty bad right now considering that their last armor set was a straight up dress.



Not a typo by the way. Look at the number of jobs I listed. DRG gets their own so I didn't put them on there. The other 12 only have 3 between them.

There is a benifit to that as well though, don't over look that sharing sets, meaning that you only need one tank, or one healer, or one caster set. That was the way it worked in ARR as well aside from the original iconic set. It means I don't have to choose between my PLD/WAR/DRK for gear, or between my AST/WHM/SCH, or my SMN/BLM. Something that also hinders DRG.

All good on the "not quoting/lazy" part, its video game forums, not serious debate.

Besides, pretty much anything, in any game or irl, looks better on females, so hard to debate that.

Yeah that tank's lore armor for men is kinda awkward I think, that small exposed chest part is funny, made me giggle a bit.

Oh no doubt, my AST really fell by the wayside for me until the Void Ark came out because of that. It'll be good to gear them up alongside each other this time around.

I bloody love it.


But I don't think there's any issue with showin' a little chest on men ;3c

When I think about it again, yeah you're right

If only there's chest hair option for boys :3

Or at least a miqo'te belly fur option...*scritchscratchgiggletickle*

I kinda like that armor, maybe its just me though.

I don't see anything wrong with it, this is a fantasy game after all. Its nice to have such a wide variety of armor styles to pick from. If you really want something that fully covers you from head to toe in plate metal, the option is there.

I mean, I'm a Dragoon in a skimpy pirate outfit, for no reason other than that I enjoy the armor. From a practicality standpoint its ridiculous, theres no way a leather coat and thigh high boots would actually do anything for protection from a dragon. But hey.. I look awesome.

That tank/monk lore armor looks good for big pecs like highlander or roegadyn to show what usually women does. You know... showing cleavage?
