[DEV] Onion Gear. Why?

[SAMINUS]

Just curious why the hell we have Onion Gear? They are not very fashionable though they are a very specific set. Why is it that when we have all Onion Gear equipped that we get nothing special? And if something ever does get put into place, what might it be? Maybe only people fully equipped with Onion Gear can ride chocobos? I doubt it but I am at a loss to what it could be.

Wow, this topic certainly deserves it's own thread.......

[SAMINUS]

Actually it kinda does, This is important because other full set gear will come out and what use will there be to collect them all besides fashion? BTW don't be a D**K.

Forum drinking game:
Take a shot of whatever when a redundant topic, or one that didn't need its own, appears.
Take 2 if it starts with "my idea for x" or some variation thereof.
Take 3 if it's the same as another topic and both are still on the first page.
Add whatever you like but you'll probably pass out from liver failure after an hour.
*edit: Take another shot when the OP replies with hostility ^_^

To actually answer: Onion Gear has appeared in a few FFs. It's a somewhat unique-looking outfit. That's all there is to it right now. Didn't need its own topic really. *shot of tequila*

it's onion equip, what does one need to know more than that?
maybe SE just thought it's more fun to make ppl work for it and obtain it from faction leves, rather then starting with it.

Ya but the helm offers decreased time to wait after death. I know that this was a pretty big topic back when the forums started, just never got resolved, I am curious if we can get an answer now.

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

well the onion head was a CE bonus, so it had to deliver some use at that, not just looks.

[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.
