[DEV] Onion Gear. Why?

[Balbanes]

Here's another question. Why do people insist on misusing the [Dev] tag system in posts?

[SAMINUS]

There was alot of speculation on YG and ZAM regarding the set as a possible hidden effect when all is equipped. But ya the helm delivered half time on recovery after KO. Question is, if that had a hidden effect, why bother putting the other Onion Gear in the game, let alone as rewards for Faction Leves? Perhaps the original Dev team had plans for the gear and the plans got scrapped when the new team took over.

If i remember the lore around the onion helm, it was part of a set of equipment that in by gone times was given to people heading out for a life of adventuring. the rest of the set is well by that logic the rest of the set.

I think it might be a reference to the 'Onion Weapons' that new adventurers started with in FFXI. Probably more a nostalgia thing than anything practical.

is there any other kind of rambling thats worth listening to?

I think what the OP is trying to get at, is that he is confused as to why such an iconic set of gear was turned into a subpar leveling set with nothing even remotely special about it. You would expect something like it to be in an endgame dungeon (Raid) or drop from incredibly powerful NMs.
