About Tank Design Winner

[SagaSoluna]

And the winner was inspired by soup cans. :/

I'd prefer the PSO2 looking one, the tribal one looked nice too and Zero Signal's looked the most original. But yeah, immersion I suppose.

I played Phantasy Star Online/Universe/2 since 2000 and never really stopped so i would love to see many of the costumes and bosses from PSO2 come to FFXIV, in return for Odin <3
Gosh, how much i would love to fight Dark Falz Luther, with this time-altering abilities, rewinds and time freezes, in FFXIV!

But this was meant to be a contest about creating a set of tank armor, so taking an existing PSO2 set, with a couple diff accessories, recoloring it, and giving it a few extra lines, does not really seem a fair thing to do.
And i am surprised it even arrived as far as it did, given that.

And the generic soup can armor with little to no creativity is fine, to his their own. If you want to see more of the same ol'stuff then good for you. I for one like creativity, which is once again the reason why I don't participate in these. Looks different than everything else? Not worth mentioning. Looks the same as everything? must have it.

I do not disagree with you, i also had my hopes placed in some of the more imaginative models :3
I was just specifically pointing out that nearly-copies should not make it to the finals.

I guess i was illustrating a point by using a current example rather than necessarily wanting to claim said example was worse than others.

My entry have nothing to do with the Phantasy Star Series. Its highly based on the existing Ironworks-gear (which is my all time favorite in FFXIV). Please read my post for some detailed information. If there is an existing or similiar design in PSO2 already, I would like to see those designs. I m really curious, if my design is already taken in another game. I m still wondering, why so many people named it "PSO2 gear" (maybe because of the cross event with FFXIV, who knows) xD

Oh... and btw: Its nearly impossible to create a completely "new" tank gear, because any gearset could look similiar to existing designs from the same or other games. When it doesnt like FFXIV or PSO2, it will definitely look like a copy from Aion, Tera, WoW, Blade and Soul or [insert random F2P MMORPG here] ; )

People say that it looks like it came from PSO2 because it looks to be on the same style as gear from that game, from the shapes to the light effects.
If you say that that it is coincidence then i will believe you, but there is a reason why everyone says "Oh, pso2" hehe

I'm terribly srry I called your gear that as I was just responding to some calling it that not realizing how rude that was. I love your design and I hoped it would win. If you ask me, yours was outlandish and actually really creative, but would fit right in with the glamours we already have. SE missed an opportunity to give this game a sweet new set of duds, their loss.

Pretty typical for people to latch anything remotely similar to a given subject when giving any sort of critique. Can't just look at it and think of the design into itself, they insist on finding anything possible to attach to it. Calling your design similar to anything PSO2-esque is a really powerful stretch, they don't have anything to go actually go on. Little light-up bits seems to be the only thing people actually catch on, and as you said, your design aesthetic actually comes from the Ironworks style, which as well had the luminous sections, yet everyone misses that. Only other thing is maybe pointy metal bits? Got that plenty as well in this game too, so really, it'd be nice if people just took designs for what they are, not what they sorta look like as something else.

It is not nearly impossible to create a completely "new" Tank Gear...
When I look at the other Gear sets, they do not look like a copy immediately recognizable.

As PSO2 player you can clearly see the inspiration, there is a lack of creativity!

Look at the Gobbue Gear, of which gear it has brought the inspiration?



Congratulation to all the Winner! (:
Very many beautiful concepts :3

Then you just have a bias opinion and it is unfair to say they have a lack of creativity. So where is your design?

I could give you multiple examples with that frame of mind.
