There isnt enough nice/different looking gear, especially for mages. Aside from the special dungeon sets (acolytes, battlemage) you choose between a frumpy robe and a bliaud, or a gathering/crafting coatee.

Also Yukatas. Tired of waiting for them to come back. Moonfire 2012 is when I was on break from the game.

Ishgard? It's like that mythical world we'll never see. We've been waiting to go there for years!
