About the looks of the new raid gear

[Oscura]

Midan striking/maiming looked so nice and very few sets will ever beat High Allagan for me.

I can't believe all they did, at least for me, was add more for the bottom of the barrel.

Oh well, glamour prisms exist for a reason.

As long as future Omega gear isn't just more Samurai gear, i can deal.

[Araxes]

i Think they look horrible. Also each different Set looks like a Reskin of a reskin of a reskin. Its like all the Townthemes and dungeonbossthemes. Its the same melody over and over only faster or slower with different instruments.

You're right, those people who were upset were referring to Alexander

Yeah if anything, Alexander aesthetic is closer to steampunk. Or industrial. They may both have punk in the their names, but they're not at all the same.

A proper cyberpunk-themed tier would be amazing though!

The new sets look amazing. The colors is what makes me question what they were smoking. Mainly the tank set

This isn't going to happen. It's forever a generic robe class now. We'd see tanks wearing DRG gear before SAM gets legitimate metal armor.

Why does the Ala Mhigo section have eastern armor? All of the Doma stuff was eastern. Overall it looks atrocious and not fantasy like at all. For Honor fans will enjoy the sets but for a fantasy game where anything can be made it's pretty disappointing. No the EX version with a different color texture wont change anything. The fending set on any female except maybe Roes looks terrible and too big for them especially the waist plates. Fending set looks great on male Roes but that's about it...I think that was their model body while developing them. I also find it funny how SAMs don't get the actually SAM set (fending) that'd you see SAM wearing in ALL THE OTHER FF GAMES.

Came to this conclusion after posting and editing: The Omega raid tier should've been the Doma Castle drops.

Yeah, this "omega gear" looks like some generic leveling gear from doma(or more kugane id say). People protect it "but its Genji armor!" i dont even know what it is and not wnat to know as i didnt play FFs except 9 and 12 and not series that much. Why is gear made from literally Omega parts looks like this? Why ironworks guys creating japanese cultural armor, its all doesn't make any sense. People can say that Alex gear wasnt perfect in appearance too but IT MADE SENSE, it was alex-themed steampunk style sets and it was good. Not its just looks like one big joke and i hope tomorrow SE will say something "omg sorry we put a wrong set" but it will not happed and im disappointed.

I imagined gear that looks like Sombra cyberspace skin for Omega :< that would be so cool.

Casters/healers: SE! Lemme wear armor, I don't want robes all the time!

SE: OK, by popular demand our new normal mode raid tier will feature metal armor for all jobs. Please look forward to it!

Healers/Casters: SE, why are we wearing armor, give us more robes and cloth! Worst tier ever!

SE: *face desk*

Poor guys. No one ever likes their armor designs.

is there only "robes and clothes" and "generic samurai" choices? if its the only choices that means SE lack imagination.

Creativity aside, the problem with the existing armor can be narrowed down to one specific aspect: the tassets.

The armor tassets are tied to the chestpiece rather than the leggings, which is why the tassets are flared outward and wide. Square Enix did this in order to prevent any possible pants from clipping with the chest piece.

Change the chestpiece so the tassets are part of the legs, and slim the tassets down. I guarantee that most of the armor will look better this way.

Well, that's what the community's telling SE from what I've seen, so it has nothing to do with SE's creativity and everything to do with healers/casters clamoring for more robes.

Personally I'm a tank main, so I'm not affected either way.
