Can the Immortal Flames be black now?

[HakuroDK]

This is something that, as a proud member of the Immortal Flames, I am constantly bothered by. As many know, the primary colors of the Immortal Flames are black and gold. However, the uniforms are largely this dark blue coloration. Unfortunately, this has never really been addressed and I'm just kinda annoyed by this discrepancy between lore and gameplay aesthetics.

2.3 Main Storyline Spoilers: To make matters worse, as of the 2.3 main storyline, the Crystal Braves, the new Grand Company started by Alphinaud, wear blue uniforms. This, to me, begs the question, "Why are there two Grand Companies with blue uniforms?"

I dunno, this is just a bit of a pet peeve with me and I am just hoping that the graphics department can fix the coloration of the Immortal Flames uniform.

No! Black is an integral color in the representation of the prideful and far superior Maelstrom! Til Sea Swallows All!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Maelstrom's colors are Red and Black. We adopted it as a primary, you have it shoved in the back as a secondary color.

For Victory and Fortune!

I thought the Immortal Flames colors were something like Blue, Brown, Gold/Yellow, with maybe a tiny hint of Black.

..And yeah I know Maelstrom is Red and Black, but we just have 2 colors. Not a medley of colors.

Well the Immortal Flames standard is primarily Black with golden scales. There's no Brown anywhere on it at all, other than as just a generic border used only seldomly. The only blue anywhere on it is a gem representing wealth and a red flame, representing the Flames' determination. And while there is blue technically there, it's a tertiary color that has no business supplanting black as a uniform color.

Heck, if you look at the Immortal Flames Axe (an axe I glamour over all of my other axes), it is very much black with golden decor depicting the standard along its blunt sides.

Here's an xivmodels view of said axe for evidence: http://xivmodels.com/?item/1809/Flam...tenant%27s-Axe

You might want to put a spoiler on that second paragraph.

Not sure how to put a proper spoiler in there, so I changed the text color to wheat. Since there are no alt skins of this board, should work just fine.

Would just like to chime in and say that in my first venture into frontlines, we represented the Flames well and DESTROYED THE SERPENTS AND THE STUPID MAELSTROM! TIL THE SEA SWALLOWS DIRT YOU SCUMBAGS!

Unfortunately, since they're not priests, the Immortal Flames uniform can only ever be a really, really dark blue.
