Im confused by these "let us dye it" comments... doesn't the crafted set look almost identical, and it is totally dyable. I have seen yellow and pink, to name two recent colors. And stat wise the crafted is just as good if not better than the DL set.

In any case all this doesn't really matter, since we will be getting vanity melding or whatever they are going to call it, very soon (I am guessing 2.2). Then you will be able to look however you want.

Also, it is just a heavy armor look, like knights from the medieval times. It isn't a "palidan" or a "warrior" look, it is a "tank" look. If you think it looks like a PLD then you are sorely mistaken... Cause none of the PLD in the game look even remotely close to that.

It is the same with casters and healers. The cowl the casters get are just plain robes... it is a "caster" look. SMN has a very special unique look to it, and the AF BLM look is probably as close to the old 2D BLM looks we have had since forever. Neither of those compare really to the caster cowl.
