Question about Job "AF Armor"

[PrettyPrincess]

Yes, I'd love for every job to look the exact same as everyone else.

Come on people, we are in a new day and age. Uniqueness is what's in, everyone looking the same is out.

Pretty much this.

BUT
MY
IMMERSION
AND
FINAL
FANTASY
TRADITIOOOOOONNNNNN

Would be nice even though I do like how the classic gear looks.

[OMEGA_HACK]

Crafted gear can be you ladies fashion design gear. I like the traditional look of the Job gear and hope it stays that one (one color, one job); think of it this way:

Black Mage job is released: colors they can be: Black, blue, white, red, green.
White Mage job is released: colors they can be: Black, blue, white, red, green.
Red Mage job is released: colors they can be: Black, blue, white, red, green.
Green Mage job is released: colors they can be: Black, blue, white, red, green.
Blue Mage job is released: colors they can be: Black, blue, white, red, green.


I'm sorry but I don't want White colored Black Mages running around with Red colored White Mages, and Blue colored Red Mages with Green colored Blue Mages with Black colored Green Mages. (See how stupid and confusing that would be?)

You want multi-color options, stick to crafted gear, you want specific gear, stick to job gear. (As we all know the AF gear will just get dated in a few months time away, if history has anything to speak for itself)

So...you wouldn't have to color yours then? That's why it would be an option?

[Cichy]

I would rather have an option to transfer the look of that armor to another like in Aion.
Looking a the drawing those AF's look awesome but Yoshi said that AF quests will begin at 30.
Therefore, alot of that pieces will most likely be worse than some crafted items unless this is the only gear jobs can wear and the current armor we have is class only.

[BruceyBruceyBangBang]

Yes, please. Also... who cares about it having to ONLY be the traditional colors when the gear is structured the same. If there were to be higher tiers to the job artifact gear, I'd shoot for them to look more grand in how they are structured and not the same friggin' gear, but with a color alteration.

Get out of that ridiculous barbaric MMO era, please.

I want job armors on my chocobo >.<
Some that when full equiped give it unque abilities.
Like PLD gives it resistence to slowing down or such.

[redmage]

I'm definitely hoping we're allowed to dye Job armors as well! Though, I will say, I do understand how some may feel that seeing White Mages in anything other than white-colored clothing to be a bit strange at first. Still, for me, the red accents is the biggest and most important part of a WHM design. I did a quick color mock-up for WHM, MNK, and PLD.



The example at the end shows what a possible mixing and matching may look like (I wasn't sure if the hood was the actual head piece or if it's part of the body piece). Now, a blue-colored cloak may not exactly seem very WHM, but I think shape/silhouette and design will make up for that. Each Job armor has very unique and recognizable shape/design that I feel color won't distract from.

MNK:


Not pictured in this picture are the pauldron pieces, but still, a very strong and recognizable silhouette.

PLD:


It's interesting to note that in Japan, the Paladin is actually called Knight. So I personally see no problem in seeing one in dark-colored armor.

I do so hope SE will allow us to customize color for Job armors. I think it'd be fantastic to have that option there for those who want it and of course, for those who enjoy the traditional and classic colors to choose that as well. If it bothers you too much, you're of course welcome to not party with that yellow-clothed WHM or that pink-clad BLM... but I'd hope the community would never come to be like that.

[AceofRains]

I like the Green on the mnk and purple on pld, very sexii

[Jinrya-Geki]

Nice Job Topheru.

I am hoping for two things from AF:

1. Being Crafted so materia can be slotted into, or atleast has stats on it that materia can't beat otherwise what's the point.
2. Would be coloring the gear. Red Wizard needs to dress in Red.

To clarify for those who don't know. I don't change the term Red-Mage to Red Wizard. I simply mean Red as in the element of Fire, and I love Wizards, hence Red Wizard.
