Replica Genji Armor sets.

They wont ever do it because of that set being a raid tier armor. It'd "undermine the achievements of those that came before who were able to clear hard encounters."

They shouldn't have limited Samurai gear to a raid, especially since Samurai is a job in this game. The Deltascape had nothing to with Samurai besides.

I'll agree there. There wasn't enough oriental-inspired gear in stormblood in my opinion, and no the hakama from doman reconstruction was not enough.

I like this idea. I like using Eastern styled gear for all my classes. Sometimes I go for a silk road sort of look to show my Ul'dah pride, or something that could be seen as Eurasian. Because I have a hard time choosing between something that looks "Near Eastern", Central Asian, or East Asian. But I've become fixated on and addicted to Eastern style glamours. My favourite class has become Samurai, and starting off I was a very proud Thaumaturge/Black Mage. And like for all my classes when I'm not a Samurai, to look reminiscent of a Samurai, or at least something classically East Asian. Whether that be a Kannushi, merchant, farmer, Jiangshi, Shaolin, or something else.

And the more options I have available, the better. While I like the tank and caster gear, I really like the DPS gear. And would like to be able to wear DPS Genji gear on my tanks. DPS Genji armor would look really nice on a Dark Knight with Odenta or Aka Oni Greatclub. Or other tanks with similar gearsets.

I also wish it were possible to get more of said Eastern style gear without completing Stormblood. Such as the Omega raids that this gearset is part of. A lot of this gear is at the tail-end or endgame of Stormblood. For someone who wants to go through the entirety of Stormblood in an Eastern glamour, while there are options, such as Mogstation/Square Enix Store/Little Ladies Day/Seasonal Event attire, or PvP attire, or Centurio Seals/Yasha gear. A lot of the best looking equipment is still relegated to end of Stormblood quests.

It would always be nice to have more options for glamour purposes.

On that note, for the Mogstation/XIV Store items, it would be nice to see the trend of making things not gender locked reach some of the old paid items as well. Especially for those who want to look Eastern before completing Stormblood. I play girl characters. And would really like to wear Leal Samurai's Geta, and Leal Samurai's Kasa. But Gosetsu's attire is limited to male characters.

The thing is, it's not Samurai gear at all. It looks like it sure, but both Deltascape & Sigmascape's armor sets are references to longstanding, re-occuring armor sets that appear through FF history that could be equipped by many, if not all jobs: the Genji & Diamond sets.

And it's pretty obvious why Delta & Sigma have them: because those tiers are huge references to past FF history in the bosses given Omega is literally copying bosses of old to pit us against, so it'd make sense for the armor sets to be inspired by or to be literally some of the most iconic armor sets in the franchise, given those tiers are all about the 'hey, remember all these old things in the FF franchise?" motif.

i mean it's disingenuous to say Genji armor itself isn't inspired by samurai armor, regardless of allusions to past FF titles. Even the etymology section of the genji armor wiki states as much.

I'd agree with removing any restrictions from glamour, tbh, other than job-specific stuff (Some of the DoH/DoL stuff too would look great on combat classes, like the level 80 gatherer set). That'd require an entire overhaul of the glamour system, and I hope SE is trying to figure out something. The idea of having an NPC that can take a piece of gear and give you that same model, but role/job restrictions removed sounds good in theory in lieu of a glamour log ala WoW, but that'd be a lot of item data SE'd have to find space for while still having to add in new gear in future expansions... it's a mountain of a task and we see how the dev team focuses their workflow with this expansion...
