I can understand low level gear having some model overlap

[Prototype909]

But don't you think that past i90 for Allagan and Tome sets that they could at least expend some effort to make everything have a unique model? I don't think that's too much to ask considering it's end game gear.

At least for the Allagan gear there's -some- justification considering it prevents unnecessary expansion of the loot table to accommodate all jobs (For instance if you make Summoner/Black Mage Allagan into two different sets then that makes it that much harder for that job to get their drop), but there's no reason things like the Bard/Dragoon sets in CT or the Caster/Healer (or Dragoon/Monk/Bard) sets in First Coil should all have the exact same models.

Don't look at High Allagan...BRD and Caster have the same armor models (wait, what?) and MNK/DRG share (Healer and Tank are unique). Sol gear BRD and MNK share, rest are their own (Healer, Tank, DRG, Caster)

Also, BRD and DRG CT gear isn't completely shared; BRD hat and DRG mask are "unique" (to the sets); same for Caster/Heals (heads are different)

[Desidious]

Calvary Mask (tank) and Onion Mask (drg) are the same as well. lol

I definitely agree that there should be someone on quality control for these sorts of things.

I definitely agree that there should be someone on quality control for these sorts of things.

There is, it's SE managing limited system resources across a plethora of systems and wanting to ensure that the quality of the game is experienced the same (or as close as they can) across all systems.

I understand the frustration as a player who wants variety as well, however the high level of detail they bring into the game via their models does cause some limitations. Sadly, it will only get worse for older systems. Only time will tell really, and SE has a much better picture than the player base does. We tend to see only a very small portion of the picture and throw a fit when things aren't the way we want it, and SE has to manage the how small/large a picture they can put into a frame, and if it's too big where to trim/crop it.

meanwhile, the new PvP gear is job specific, not role specific.

Does that seem right to you?

You'd almost think that the current soldiery sets should be the PvP gear and the PvP gear would be the tome set because it's job specific.

WORD AND THAT'S UPSETTING because I doubt I'll ever be a high enough rank to use any of it!!!!!!!!!!! They need more unique gear models whether it makes the loot tables bigger or not!!!!

p.s. why does mnk/drg/brd i90 allagan look the same with some recolors? dafuq?

[Titor]

Yeah, it's a bit weird. I feel with every new patch they put a LOT of work and detail into the environment, the npcs, and the cutscenes, but yet they seem to fall short with gear. For a game that's exceeded in everything else so well it's so weird that they recycle a lot of their gear (And that a lot of it recycled from gear that is dyeable but the recycled gear is not dyeable, and it's not a unique color)

Not to mention just how extremely ugly the high Allagan maiming set is.
