Sick and tired of aiming gear designs

I agree, they need more diversity in designs. Here's the problem, you have BRD with one aesthetic, MCH with another, and DNC with another. You don't get your obviously BRD aesthetic, without annoying MCH/DNC. We never get a DNC aesthetic - and if we did, it would annoy BRD/MCH. Those three roles using the same gear, is a pretty big limiting factor.

So? Not every piece of gear is meant to fit every job in the role. Far better for there to be a set that fits one job, another for a 2nd and another for a third. Alternate between aesthetics (and this applies to the rest of the sets as well, Whether it be Tanks alternating between Plate Mail, Barbarian pelts, and suits, or Casters getting cultist black robes and swanky red suits)

If people wanted every gear to always fit their jobs, then they either play PLD/DRK/DRG/NIN/BLM/WHM or just want job-locked gear to be a lot more common than it is.

Tbh I quite like most ShB aiming gear design wise [Warg, Edengrace, Deepshadow, Crystarium, to name a few] but I must agree they don't look like something literal performers would use, even in battle, which is why I always end up glamouring over them anyways.

Have you looked at the crafted gear? Definitely a dancer vibe on that, and it shares with the striking and scouting sets.

While I agree that there doesn't seem to be enough lighter gear being added, and the increasing tendency to group aiming gear with tank/DRG designs is odd, I feel like if people genuinely think there's "nothing" available for dancers they are not looking far enough through the range of past designs and glamours available to us. There are quite a number of older gearsets with designs well-suited to dancer gear.

As for newer gear, of the three Lv80 crafted gearsets, the Facet and Exarchic designs seem particularly suited to dancer and the Neo-Ishgardian design also works well.

I would also like to particularly point out the Lv60 Torrent Sleeves of Aiming that can be used to add flared sleeves to almost any outfit.

I looked through aiming-equippable body pieces and made a list, erring on the side of including "fancy shirt" pieces that might be used more for male outfits.

... and honestly when 70% of the community is going to glamour 2b's pants and a bikini top over everything I don't blame them for not putting in more effort sometimes.

If they came out with gear with a stronger aesthetic that players actually want, they wouldn't have to fall back to those choices. And the cash shop wouldn't be as successful if they didn't know what players want. Hopefully I don't have to spell out what I am implying here.
