garlean armor

[Rextab]

not really lore, but can't think of anywhere else to put it.
i wish they would let us get garlean armor, because it's awesome looking.

[MithrasInvictus]

I can't see that ever happening. That would be like an Allied soldier wearing an SS uniform...

[PArcher]

Well, considering the real "armor" is for high-ranking (read: really trusted and/or brainwashed) soldiers/officers and is a symbol of rank...yeah, not going to happen

[IrisBlanchimont]

The only way we'd get anything close is if Cid and company started making Eorzean versions of Garlean armor, which is possible, but unlikely.

Unlikely indeed. . . . . But just imagine how awesome it'd look :P
The garlean officer armor is modelled on the Judge armors from FFT/FFXII - it always looked badass

doesn't prevent me from wanting to steal it off of their corpses.

yup. i always loved the Judge look.

As PArcher said, a select few get the "judge" armor. The normal fighters all wear that black/red cloth armor (which we do get at one point and I have in my retainer). If we did get the armor, I could see it being spinoffs or reverse engineered examples maybe created by Cid.

We might see it in the future at some point, I think. After all, it's only a matter of time before we get an expansion to Garlemald.

Of course, that time might be a year or two from now, so don't get too excited just yet...
