Looking like a clown is killing the game for me

I'd like more stuff like the nature of the Coliseum set, "logic" be damned until I can conjure up and throw fireballs in real life.

It's really sticky in beer can gear.I'm running out of oxygen...<.<
+ The coolest armor ever was still AF.At least my entire head isn't stuck under metal
High level armor tend to look ridiculous or just ridiculously boring though

I agree with the fact that some gear is kind of gay....... None the less warning this is s moaning thread

As a Scholar I hate that the Darklight Body is a cowl since it stops you from wearing head armor (And I like those little tiara things you can wear from time to time)

[Bearssi]

In my opinion the earrings on male characters is a bit out of place kinda thing. At least the OP does not have a tail clipping through his armor.

I agree sooo much. There are times that I run around in lower level gear JUST so I can stand the way my character looks.

Let me remove the glasses off my scholar and I'll be happy. I look so stupid with it

You can, type /visor

If Paladin gear in the future will be trash cans where I cant remove the head, I'll switch to a Lalafell female. They wont look as bad.

The worst part is that the helmet is WELDED onto the torsopiece. When you're riding on a chocobo, you're facing straight down and when you draw your sword, you're sort of looking down and away like you're completely drunk.

The plus side is that wearing it during cutscenes is hilarious when they cut to your character for a reaction shot and it's just the helmet staring back at you with absolutely no movement.

I think the heavy darklight for tanks makes sense, I don't really like it, but it makes logical sense..... -shows skimpy armor-

Actually the various mid level tank gear sets make the most sense, a lot of practical & protective stuff there. The Darklight tank armor would barely be more practical in real life than the bikinis you showed, and in many ways far less.

Excessively cumbersome, limited head movement, those ridiculous shoulders blocking all side view, not to mention all the ornamental things sticking out that would bump into/get caught on stuff constantly. About the only thing that mess has going for it is it could take a hit: but just try your best to keep your balance when you do take a hit. You get knocked over in something like that you wouldn't be getting back up in time to save yourself (there are stories of real life knights drowning in inch deep water in far less bulky suits).

Now that I think of it I'd take my chances with a swimsuit over the Darklight tank suit in real life.

The realistic sets would be more akin to the Iron, Mythril, or various chain mail templates. Protective yet about as practical as running around in a full suit of metal gets. Makes me wish the Militia(Iron set design) and Dark Steel("Trash can" set design) crafted tank gear models where swapped.
