so lets talk about reusing gear sets

yep its feels that way , and dunno why , FFXIV atm is at the top...now when SE needs to work to keep ppl

I think that’s the problem tbh. They’re at the top, they have no competition so they can afford to be lax and put less effort into the game. Most people will still eat up what they give us anyways.

Its pretty lazy for them to reuse sets that also were already able to be dyed. Are the dye channels for these at least different? Doesn't feel like the highest budget expansion yet.

now that the late allagan pvp set has been reused too, i feel like they might do that for all remaining pvp sets.

Have I missed something big, or are you meaning the Republican sets that have just been released?

I am actually surprised that the Late Allagan sets haven't made an appearance yet, because most of the gear design contest winners have been recycled in this expansion. Possibly a deliberate choice. The only other one we haven't seen repeated is the Lost Allagan set, whether it's a coincidence that the two Allagan sets are the two not used.

As for recycling all the other PVP sets, it's quite possible – though there aren't really that many to recycle. There's essentially four more sets.

1. "Animal-liege" ARR sets – people have been hoping to have these sets accessible to newer classes for a while, so this would be an opportunity to allow that. This could potentially get spread over two sets though, as there are more than seven designs altogether.
2. "The Twelve" sets from Heavensward
3. "Yokai" sets from Stormblood
4. Late Allagan from Shadowbringers

I think they all have some good designs that I wouldn't mind getting a second set of colour schemes for.

Its pretty lazy for them to reuse sets that also were already able to be dyed. Are the dye channels for these at least different? Doesn't feel like the highest budget expansion yet.

The dye channels are generally different, though I don't think they've picked them well for a lot of the levelling sets – a lot have some kind of weird undyeable part that severely limits the colours you can realistically use on them.

However, as I was saying earlier, the newly released Classical set is actually quite good.

I dont actually mind them Resusing gear sets as long as it is dont smartly. I.e reusing the earsets but shuffle the roles. They did this with the ala mhigo set in SHB and i think it worked out really well.

yeah, reusing sets doesn't bother me when they move the roles around because then I still get a new set of gear. But when its the same set over and over, it is kind of disappointing.

I wonder if it's how Makai is going to come back.

i mixed up late allagan and republican sorry

[Kolsykol]

I am kinda salty about NIN getting the same Tomestone gear as Casters just recolored...
Just wtf?

[Illmaeran]

I have to admit to being a bit bummed by asset reuse this time around. After getting the Law's Order spear I finally had a weapon that went well with the Baron Helmet and Behemoth Queen chest piece and built a cool set with those as the base, only to have the Behemoth Queen set be reused in its entirety. Finally, after 7 years of playing and trying to build a set off two old pieces, I pick the same expansion where one of them is re-released. At least I was cool for a day or so.


Truth be told, it doesn't bother me overmuch. I would like to see them put more effort into creating new outfit assets and ABSOLUTELY make things dyable, but at least on my end I've got enough glamour sets to fit any occasion and if I do need more there are one or two in my list that could be replaced.

this 100% if you have to reuse gearsets at least shuffle the roles!
Reskin Expansion hope it gets better.... but honestly it cant get worse right?

What bugs me even more than re-using sets is the sets they choose to re-use loads of people really like the Warg, Woad and Paglathan sets and all 3 aren't dyeable, honestly gimme dyeable versions of those and I would be ok
