Male Armor Sets too flamboyant. Bring full armor back!

[Radacci]

You're right, which is why we look better wearing almost nothing!



See? An improvement already!

indeed, that torse was made to be seen!
no comment about "that" thing haha.

It's amusing that Highlanders and Roegadyn look best in either next to nothing at all or in "tin can" outfits.

Honestly, I would like to see at least a few "magical tin can" outfits at some point in the future. Tanks have all the heavy plate armor looking gear, why not give casters a light plate armor appearance?

hey, my Highlander looks good in almost anything! except those caster pvp stuff. ugh. those things only look ok on some female chars, and lalafells.

I quite agree with the perspective setting on this ; but hell, i'm still quite mad the tank armor of this lore set looks less like a tank armor than the DRG one... I mean come on, tanks are the "HP-Hitbags" and DRG have a full-plate armor set instead ?
REALLY ? Seriously guys, put a full lore DRG on one side, and a full lore PLD or so on the other, who looks like the tanking class now ??



That being said, it is true there is many others great armor set, glamour is definitly the solution there.
I'm just a bit mad the brand new tank armor is so unappealing to me, yeah. Meh. :<

If someone wants to use the argument that this is a fantasy game; so glamours can be whatever you want them to be; then I want more full glowing weapons in my fantasy game.

But am I going to get that? Probably not when half the people on the forums are against glowing weapons. I'll just simply be told to use the glamour of an existing glowing weapon with a prism; and not be allowed to hope for new weapons with the glowing design.

This is how you get treated when your tastes are different from the majority.

Probably the reason I have been using Ifrit's, Titan's, Garuda's, and Moggle Mog's crafted primal weapons for ages.

There just isn't enough glowing weapons for whatever reasons.

Ugh you can't expect an armor design to look good on a Roe and a Lala at the same time. What looks good on a female Miqo'te may look ridiculous on a female Roe as well... It isn't that easy to make a perfect set for every race. Or do you suggest we get each set fit to our race/sex?

If they had a bigger design team, I'm sure that would be very possible. Take a look at some of the gear in FFXI.

Didn't XI have significantly fewer races though? Male and female humans, tarus, and elvaan; male galka, and female mythra, right?

In this game they have to consider male and female body types for roes, lala, hyur, elezen, miqo, and au ra.

Not saying it is impossible mind you, just a bigger project. Plus I think they have mentioned before that they actually tailor gear fits (and hairstyles) to each race individually, it's not automated. Either way though not every design is going to be flattering on every body type. Like the new Little Ladie's Day outfit... looks great on everyone else but looks like a mumu on female elezen lol.

How much you could change each race was also significantly lower. There were only 3 sizes for each race: Small, Medium, and Large
