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

[dinnertime]

They need to be more simplistic with the gear designs in my opinion. The Valerian sets are simple and people love them.

Also It's quite ironic because the same artists who worked on Tactics Ogre also work for this game, too. I guess they're not in-charge of gear design.

People will never be happy when it comes to appearances. I wouldn't be surprised if they pay threads like this remarkably little mind.

[Riardon]

God they ugly af. We need a better glamour system. One which will allow us to glamour gear based on jobs and not role. This will solve the problem with the multi job gear sets and the glamour of them.

[Enthy]

More robes for healers... ughh.

They are putting too many restrictions on appearances. It has been worse in Stormblood than ever, that is a fact.

Creation tome gear landed last night. Naturally I went to go try on my new sets for Bard and WHM...

Honestly I feel like my WHM is in a padded straight jacket...
Between this and the Genji armor sets I'm at a loss for words. Who designed these sets? They are terrible.
Im glad glamour exists because I will be glam-ing these so fast... In the future could we get some gear styles more akin to the lvl 70 AF sets. Those were for the most part very stylish. I'll be glamouring back to my Bard lvl 70 AF set for sure.

The uglier the gear is the more people will buy glamour outfits from the cash shop.

I disagree. There's been a wider variety of outfits for all jobs, not just robes for healers or plate armor for tanks, but more variety. Choosing to limit yourself is a you problem, not the games.

Well, look at it this way: If the best gear in the game was a burlap sack, elitists would be seen all over Eorzea looking like sacks of potatoes. Elitists would not want to hide their "achievement" no matter how hideous the reward. It may look like poo but it's a status symbol nonetheless. That's why glamour sets are mostly level one items and purchasable from the Mog Store. If you care about your appearance only, you have hundreds of cheap and good looking glamour items. If you care about looking "gud" in front of the noobs, just be patient because the next ugly set of "I did it before it was cool" gear is inbound shortly.

The gear sets in stormblood are restricted to class, and even the crafting and gathering gear is restricted along with it. in addition, the numbrr of all classes gear in SB is pretty low, lower than what was about in previous installments.

I wanted to put my two cents in...

The armors in post end story in SB has not been good at all. I mean the Samurai armor is kinda cool.....even as a WHM but the newest armor doesn't look innovative to me. It's just every other armor i see that's given to you in random storymode quests

Have you also noticed the winners and the runners up draws armor that looks almost like every other armor that's already been made?

I desire new armor and new creativity so much...it just bothers me when I see another carbon copy of what we had before (with the exception of a few flare here and there)
