Anyone ever got turn off to play certain class just because their aesthetic?

There is one job I don't like to play because of aesthetics, and that is WAR. I don't like how they hold and run with their axe (except the idle pose on Roe males, that looks great) and I especially don't like how Storm's Path (or eye, either of those two) looks as it's essentially a mix of previous skills' and auto-attack animations. That was a big let-down when I got it...

I was intrigued by Dark Knight when it first came out but I hate the combat stance with the Great Sword. It just looks so awkward and stupid haha. I mained Monk in FFXI and thought of doing it again, but when I was playing during launch I found their job armor to be laughably atrocious so I never fully leveled it up. Also avoided Paladin because I don't like the sword/shield combo. Blah, overdone, no thanks. I'm tired of being another knight in a fantasy game. Been main with SMN forever, but if they announce Samurai I'll drop it faster than you can say Bio. Just sayin'...Katana, gimme! T_T

The goofy poofy potato sack robes that dominate the bulk of the leveling process for casters made leveling my first character (started as arcanist) somewhat painful due to aesthetics. A breath of fresh air arrived when I hit 50 and could use glamours. The game became more fun for me once I could customize and enjoy how my character looked. I honestly can't understand why the quest to unlock glamours isnt accessible till so very late in the game.

if you watch closely, this is not just for caster, all class have this somewhat "robe like" armor getup and yeah i dont like it either

i finally got my lore armor for ninja and o why why SE? it look almost the same as bard one, i mean cmon a little bit variety maybe?

Bard

The first time I saw that Bard AF...

noped all the way into never using it past levelling

Not for the aesthetics, but for the lore and the backstory.

DRG, because our skills are essentially stolen.

SMN, because the Egis are unwilling slaves.

Somewhat thrilled we'll be able to glamour our Egis back into adorkable Carbuncles, then I can pretend again they're helping because they like us.

[Reinha]

Yes. Many times.

I could probably like WAR if it wasn't for the ugly armor and animations. Sorry but my character is a lady and I don't like dressing her in scrap metal, chains and torn furs. Yes there is glamour but 1) axes are ugly and 2) cloth and leather glamour options don't go with brutish axes and heavy swing animations. WTB elegant plate gear.

MNK and SMN would probably be more fun if their weapons weren't so underwhelming. Punches? A book? Much scary, wow.

MCH animations and sounds are really lacking but at least the armor is kind of cool. Not a fan of the lunchbox and the hovering Gauss Barrel either.

For what it's worth, some of the most badass events in this game involve characters wielding books of magic as their primary weapons. Never occurred to me to question the intimidation factor before lol.

Everytime i see mch with their gauss barrel attach, it remind with R-type game, probably the "bit" part lol
