Level 90 Job Artifact Armours Looks so Bad and Borring

[Anhra]

Well the entire point of these sets is for them to be unique to the job.

Being Unique, doesnt mean being useful.
Those Armorsets are usually only worn by People who can't yet affort the current highest craftable armorset from the Marketboard and beyond that, it serves no proper function.

For glamouring, if you want to have even one Piece of it applied to your chosen Job, you need to purchase a second piece of gear, just so it doesnt interfere with the Glamour of the other classes you leveled which share the same Armor-class. At the very least, Squeenix could design those Job Armors in a way, where for example, the PLD Job Armors could be worn on any Tanking Job and so on, otherwise those will just gather dust in the armory or straight up being tossed away.

The quality of the armor should reflect upon the quality of effort IN GAME to acquire them.

If you just get them easily after max level, then low effort is all it deserves.
If there is a quest for each piece, centered around lore of a particular zone. Then the art style of the artifact armor should reflect that lore.

Probably there has been a lot of posts about this already but i just saw them and i wanted to share my opinions as well. So here we go:

Most of the level 90 job artifact armours sets looks extremely dull, boring and bad. I mean yeah there are some good ones like dark knight, white mage etc. And the summoner, i think summoner is the best one and got that level 90 vibes the most.

I mean these are supposed to be level ''90'' artifact gears yet they are so simple(in a very bad way), boring and lazy looking they look like they belong to level 50 artifact gears. And even level 50 artifact gears are so much more better then these ones. I mean they literally make your character looking like you are in arr and level 50.

Why are they simplified them that much. I mean i understand that they created these sets with characters core fantasies behind but still. Its like a downgrade from every bit of set we got and yet they all look so much familiar to the every other set we got before. It looks like it has been done before, countless times. Specially when it comes to black mage. It is literally level 50 gear set with tiny bit of changes. Even the weapon is exactly the same.

I am so dissapointed with this. I expected so much more. At least some glorious sets, but there is nothing glorious about these ones.

Sorry if i made any mistake while writing, english is not my first language.

And i know i have been little bit toxic and salty but these are my geniune, honest opinions

They're kind of ugly.

Yeah...no. Job sets usually have a lot of detail added to them. Probably more than a lot of higher end raid gear. Sometimes they are hit or miss, but when they are on point, they are REALLY on point.

Ninja was straight up disappointing.

I've mained ninja since the beginning and I can honestly say I like this armor. Only set i've disliked so far is ShB to the highest degree. i actively use Heavenswards dyed pure-white. ARR's was befitting of the class as was StB(cutting it close to being to fancy like the ShB artifact armor however, imo)

It's only an issue if you play multiple jobs within the same role – and even then it's something you can work around with linked glamour plates if you really want to.

Personally I like having different glamours for each job and I usually work on levelling them one at a time, then at endgame I'm only playing one job from each role anyway. So if job gear is nice then it's definitely an ongoing option for glamour, not a waste of time at all.

Or...just link the glamour plate to the job's gear set so it switches automatically (as long as you're somewhere that gives rested bonus, just like any other glamour)

I don't know; I've been very happy with my Dragoon's lvl 50 AF gear and have been glamouring it exclusively since a binge of Tactics-inspired Glam back in HW. I guess I lucked out that DRG's first set was the most iconic of all.

I'll say this: they definitely look like stuff that's already in the game. Like... there doesn't appear to be a lot of innovation here, or covering ground that hasn't been well-trod.

Take the Dragoon set - that just looks like another Kain-style black-with-blue-tint-and-spikes-all-over suit. Yet, Dragoons have been portrayed as very colorfully-dressed characters wearing a wide variety of gear - particularly in FFIX and FFT.

We've already lived the Kain fantasy. We've done with like 5 different suits. Yet I've never seen anything that was an even remote nod to this:



...or this:



...and maybe I'm tired of that Kain fantasy a little, at this point. He's not the only dragoon who ever lived, and they all, clearly, didn't look like that.
