ARC, Evenstar and Bravely Default

[Morningstar1337]

Have you ever noticed that the imfamous Evenstar set resebles the clothes arcanists in Bravely Default wear? (Red/black scheme, Hat, odd tail). Also note that there is an arcanist class in this game (though it works differently from the class in BD)

With all that and the fact that While Scholar is a healer, Ancanist and Summoner are DPS, in mind, do you think the Evenstar Set was meant for Arcanists?

For those who haven't played Bravely Default ^ (Also shame on you)

I don't know, I don't think so. Bravely Default's Arcanist was based off of Victoria's appearance, and I personally don't see many similarities beyond the color scheme and the fact that a hat exists.

That all being said, goddamn I loved BD. I've played through it twice. I really wish some of the classes in XIV were more like BD's style.

You really wanna go there huh?



Here's a pic of Victoria. Note the tail.



And here's a pic of the evenstar getup...from an earlier thread. Also note the tail.

Colour schemes may be similar between the two, but you can't say the same for the tail because that part of the set is exclusive to Miqo'te only for now. It isn't present on the other races as far as I know.

Though I sometimes feel like Gerolt designed these armor sets to make us look like clowns. So, I'd really love to see the BD costumes show up in FF XIV. BD is still number one on my list of RPGs on handhelds.

Also, Arcanist is not ARC. ARC is Archer; Arcanist is ACN.

Probably wouldn't put it past him consider we did force him to recontruct a weapon. Though I think the Astrum Set looks nice but considering the loldrg thing, I think that the alleged worse class in the game having the best lookign armor may just be part of the joke.

And I would like to see jobs like, Spellfencer, Vampire and Spiritmaster in there as well. The game is the reason I refer to the Magic Knight as Spellfencer.

Anyway I tried google search and didn't other raced wearing the evenstar garb with a tail o you might have a point, ont he other hand most of the result I've don;t have the full set ot have part of it glamored so I want soem screenshots of a Hyur/Lala/Roe/Elf wearing it and modeling the back for comparison sake

...uh. The picture I posted of Edea has the tail. I wasn't disputing that there is clearly a tail. It's not a similarity to the XIV Evanstar because...well, you know. Not every race has a tail. In fact, just one race has the tail, and it looks nothing like fox tail from BD <_<

But also, if you really just put them side by side, they are nothing alike. The cuts are different, the overall design is completely and utterly different. You have black and red colors, and a tail on one race that doesn't share any similarities to Victoria's fox tail beyond the fact that it's a tail.

It's fine if you want to reach for similarities that don't make sense just to try your best to prove a point that isn't really there, but I don't think there is a need to say things in such a rude manner when somebody doesn't agree.

You're right. I was acting out of line there. I just wanted to discuss the similarities (and dissimilarities) and ask if it was related to arcanist. (Due to sharing names for Victoria's job, the color scheme, the fact that it's shared with Black Mages which in BD Arcanist compliments and the fact that the next gear up seem more suited to Black mages with the whole spell speed thing. Plus it looks too off for Black Mage robes)...

[Alukah]

Honestly they don't look alike at all, they have pretty much nothing in common, and like said before only miqotes gets a tail (and that's because they have a tail, not anything set specific)

[Ecks007]

Nope, don't see any similarities at all beyond red and black. They are completely different looks.
