The New Sage Icon, Thoughts?

[Caitlyn]

I want to make some clarifaction, why I dont like the new icon.

First of all, I plan to be Sage main. I practised alot as Noct-AST and since the new AST will be WHM 2.0, I want to stick with the new shield healer. And lets be honest, those nouliths are lit. Its like MCH with shields and lasers. And I totally love the ne AF gear.

I have no problems with removing the holes. In my opinion it sounds a bit ridicilous to be afraid of 3 1/2 holes in a tiny job icon. But who am I to judge about that? SE could make that change without any reason and I would be ok with that. I assume, the holes represent the magitek (?) nature of the nouliths.

What really bothers me is, that SE didnt remove ALL the holes (one is still there). And they changed the angle, position and size of all nouliths within the new icon.

In the old version, all nouliths got the same size and angle, perfectly alligned. The the old icon represent this job almost perfectly. With the new icon, one noulith is way bigger, while the other 2 are awkward aligned. And the last one even have a hole in it. I guess SE wants to add some perspektive to it. But it doesnt match with the other plain job icons now.

Or in short: SE changed the icon from a perfect, symmetrical design to something chaotic and ugly. There was no need for such a drastic change.

Here is the "new" one. One with a hole, one big and two which have a weird angle now. It looks like it represents something sexual in my opinion xD


This is my redesign I posted on page 19. No holes. No angles. All identical. Like the nouliths in the game. The top one isnt perfect (sorry).
