So uh... whats up with the end game gear designs lately?

[Texa]

The Ruby Sea sets and the Valerian sets all look a lot better than the raid/tome gear imo. But if I don't like the way my new stuff looks I'm am completely free to fix it so meh.

I love the creation gear. I am a huge fan of allagan armor so having more of it doesn't bother me.

The ARR gear sets are still my go to sets when it comes to glim glams, mainly because most of them actually make your character look like an FF character. The recent SB sets make you look like a faceless mook you'd fight in a FF game, the AF3 being the welcome exception here.

Also, a little detail that drives me insane: In ARR, most, if not all armour had little adjustments to compensate for Miqo tails. A little bow or a gap. SE seems to have given up on that entirely once Au Ra entered the game. Why?

I stick to mostly lvl 1 all-classes stuff because its typically the only place I can find a chest piece that isn't a pseudo-dress/long coat, especially for a healer. My male character would like look... I dunno... masculine? Even as a healer. While I like having some feminine options, it seems like EVERYTHING is a friggin dress of some sort. Even many shirts have needless lengths of fabric or some kind of sash attached.

I want more chest options that are tight, not bare chested (but short sleeve or sleeveless is ok) and without some sort of sash/dangly bit of cloth. Something like this:



Gimme more body options that ALL CLASSES CAN USE like that, that don't look like someone went mad with a bedazzle gun or with random bits of cloth hot glued to the bottom of the shirt, and I'll be a happier camper. Male healers shouldn't always have to look like they are auditioning for RuPaul's Drag Race. I'm all for some fierce queens working the runway, but every new tier of gear being a pseudo-dress/robe/coat gets old real quick.

At the very least break those chest pieces up. Instead of it being some long robe, why not make the body slot part seperate from the skirt part and make the leg slot item the skirt part. We've got lots of pants options to choose from but most hardly get seen because they are covered by a dress/robe. If the chest slot was the "shirt" and the leg slot was the "skirt" at least we'd have a choice.

I like the gear omega savage but I just feel like there was a missed opportunity there. The Genji armor looks great on SAM obviously, but the other jobs could have gotten armor in FFV as a while. Tanks could wear grand/maximillian helm and armor etc. Healers and mages could have worn Lord of robes or black and white robes. Dps would get Bone mail or Vishnu vest etc. Thankfully the omega savage fending looks pretty good in dalamund red.

The first look is nice, the 2nd is ridiculous.

The Omega gear makes no sense.
Instead of inspiring ideas from FFV they make Japanese / Samurai esque gear. I dislike it. It would fit better in the dungeon, Doma Castle. That dungeon actually uses old gear too, which is disappointing. I'm also tire of ROOOOBBBESSS!
Please stop the robes! I do wish for more creativity really bad.

On my highlander the healer creation helmet looks like I'm a fancy power ranger. I imagine it will do that on any race without those ears to break up the outline a bit.

Those were still from 1.0, where the devs have spend more time for the little details.

I agree, we may as well be cannon fodder with some of this new gear. Dungeon sets have been good though.

The WHM job gear has a section of the corset that's left unstrung on the bottom for your tail. I saw that and was happy.
