Ah yeah I debated back and forth whether to include names or not. In order they're: Infantry set, Alliance Striking set, Foestriker set, Crystarium Fending set, Valerian Rune Fencer set, Ivalician Holy Knight set, and Onion set.

Even the Nier gear has some very traditional fantasy pieces mixed in, and I particularly love almost all of the Heirloom gear from Matoya's Relict.
... while that's true, it's still class-restricted level 80 gear with stats and everything. I would like more of this aesthetic to make it into the level 1 "All Classes" gear we get every now and again is what I mean

I would much rather they focus on glam diversity (and perhaps unlock jobs for glams save artifact gear), than to put focus on any one specific 'type' of glam for an expansion.
Couldn't it just be that... the ARR gear just looks bad? Because if we're thinkng about the same low-level sets then yeah, no wonder people didn't like them...

For the record though I'm not asking that they exclusively cater to my tastes or anything, just that there be more options for this kind of look than basically none at all (barring the Crystarium Guard and Feast sets, the latter of which you can't even get anymore)

What I think is an issue is that some specific jobs have gaps in the style of armors they provide. If we ever get cross-class glamours in some form, it'd solve a lot of that.

Until we get something like that, people will always lean towards the lvl 1 glamours because they can use the look on all their jobs.
See above. I'm specifically wishing there were more level 1 "All Classes" gear in this style

I tend to like travel-ready gear, particularly on my Dragoon.

We've got a large Roleplaying community in this game. It may not hurt to ask them what they use.

Failing that, look up https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/. You'll be able to see a wide variety of fashion trends and the gear that provides them. There is even a challenge section to make good looks for new players.
That's literally where I got my images from, I'm well aware of Eorzea Collection lol. Just wish there were more universal options...
