About the looks of the new raid gear

[HyperSMB]

Healers get a pointy wizard had and extremely thick samurai armor. Why?

Because weebs I guess. Personally, I think I will glam over all of it using the Valerian Priest(ess) set. Looks very nice without being stupidly guady.

I don't mind the eastern themes to the new sets since it IS Stormblood, but I agree that the Genta sets are kinda ugly. It doesn't help that they have a very poopy color scheme.

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.

Can you find me the specific people who hold both these opinions so we can troll them together.

honestly a lot of the new gear is pretty bad. I get that we're in kugana but jesus f. christ we're not all weebos. Does everything have to look like a flipping samurai? Some sure, give those players what they want. But everything?

And the idea of further restricting the glamour by taking away disciple of land/hand gear... They obviously want everyone to look the same.

The only set people seem to care on is Sui set and AF. I'm not a fan of nothing else. even the badrams set looks similar to the glamour set thing that came out with the native outfit. can't remember the name.
if they're struggling they need to host more player made gear and let us choose. their creativity is a little of lately.

It's not like the last 2 years of the game wasn't filled with western Knights and Dragons.

Please do go ahead and point all the abundance of strictly samurai looking armor in this game, because there will still be more than 10 times the amount of generic suits of western plate armor.

I like the floppy healer hat. It goes so well with my haircut.

I personally don't mind them too much apart from the color (which won't be a problem once Savage comes out)

What I DO mind is the fact that this was the perfect opportunity to give us some FFV job glamours or something along those lines and I was really disappointed that it wasn't, maybe I'm just salty that we're never going to get Krile's White Mage hoodie but you know...

Love the theme, hate the designs. Maybe I just have higher expectations because I like samurai armor though. Hey, at least it aren't the Wind-up Moon minion issue over again.

And yes, there are players requesting for armor set on the casters, try looking for the glamour threads.

And no, SE can't please everyone. Though to be fair, I think majority of the players I'd spoken to or posted in this thread seems to generally dislike the overall designs and not just the caster set.

Now that I think about it, they should had place this Eastern theme set somewhere else instead... Was expecting something alien-ious or futuristic when I first step into Deltascape.

I dunno why y'all are complaining. You're in a foreign realm, things are gonna look different, even weird.

Doma and the rest of SB have good and the bad. Sorry you gotta be walking around looking like crap. There's plenty of previous raid gear to glamour that looks awesome... Heck I've personally pulled out my Monk Dreadwyrm gear because honestly it looks so awesome on my SAM.
