[DEV] Onion Gear. Why?

[AnaviAnael]

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*

You forgot "Take a shot whenever the topic mentions jumping."

The onion gear is a good set for ranking up 1-15 regardless of class. It has a well-rounded distribution of stats so that any job you pick can benefit at that low of a level. It makes sense to have one set of gear for this than to go out and buy Hempen sets for each time you switch classes.

That said, ranking up 1-15 on each class takes about 2 hours per class, so after that the gear is useless unless you like the aesthetic.

Now, if SE would implement a cosmetic equipment selection, I'd break out the onion gear again fo sho. It looks damn good on my bearded lalafell.

The gear is just to prepare people.

At some point they will release onion hands, which will make people more curious...

After several years FFXIV will introduce the quest for the Onion Sword, thus unlocking the Onion Knight (class) and people will start going insane leveling it. (It will be FFXIV's version of the Maat Cap)

This actually sounds like logical reasoning. Also what is strange is that obtaining these gear pieces are through r20 faction leves. and at r20 Glad recieves the ability Onion Cut.

Perhaps if a R20 Gladiator in full Onion Gear uses Onion Cut on a wild Onion...
we get Chocobos!

Onion gear is the official RMT gear set.

Onion equipment is always looked at in a more comical/nostalgic sense than anything. Sometimes being the most powerful gear in the game (FF3 DS version), or the Lulu's most powerful weapon in an ironic sense. Onion gear is always looked at as the beginners gear. Even FFXI has items like Onion Sword, which was your default weapon as a Warrior. I think for FFXIV, it is more of a kicks and giggles type of thing, the helmet itself having nice features on it for beginners.

Before the massive SP boost to rank 1-24, onion gear had alot more use to it.

It is basically the best starting set in the game... now since the start of game is only hours long... yea it is basically worthless now.
