Individual uniqueness > Class uniqueness

[Alise]

If I m allowed to request something, this is the thing I want to request the most from development team.

Now, one R50 players can only have 2-3 type of armor choice :
-GLA/LNC/MRD = Haubegeon set or Cuirass set. (unless he has NM scale mail)
-Pug/Arc = harness or Jacket (unless he has NM shirt)

So for 5x DoW classes, you only have 4-6 kinds of armor set, and then most of them are kidda bad when it come down to "mix and match", so people will choose to wear all parts of the same set, and thus, we only have 4-6 variety of 1000s Erozea citizen so far.

I hear that the dev team want to bring class uniqueness by give specific armors, but please... I don't think player want 1 class to have only 1 best armor and ask everybody to look the same again. Please do it so that 1 class can have at least 10 different visual armor that are at the same rank and similar status so that players can make their own choice base on their taste, and not being forced to wear the same only 1-2 best gear.

-Thank you-


(got new idea that improve from old thread which wasn't seem to work in this game)

Me too, support all for fashion uniqueness.
Now, it is so sad to see that every 3-4 people will have about one person that look same to you. T_T

I think new armor will be implement, but sadly, if those are in different rank to step up for player goal, then players will never be able to decide their own character look. It will always go for the best status gear which they need to have "many best gears to choose".

No even the NM scale mail is not as good as the Vintage scale male and both of those are terrible compared to Haubergeon and Cuirass.

I also agree with this (while using the search function and adding to already existing threads on the subject would have been more useful :P)

They simply need to strike a balance. Keep the current equipment generic, and then add to it with some class/rank-specific sets and maybe some more generic gear. That way they can both contribute to class uniqueness, and allow people to mix and match with generic gear in order to retain some uniqueness in look and style.

Uniqueness in look is a lovely feature in FFXIV at the moment, as I rarely saw other MMORPG, near launch, with people sporting such different styles and combinations of equipment. I don't think it should be lost in favor of just another game where everyone with the same class in the same level range wears exactly the same things.

As much as people will probably groan at this idea, I think they should bring back more Unique-No Trade equipment from NMs (akin to XI.) As much as everyone hated having to camp the likes of leaping lizard or valkurm emp... It did add a sense of competitiveness to the game, as well as character uniqueness as only the players with the patience to camp them had the items.

I'm all for rank/class specific gear and especially various sets that give choice. For example let's take Marauder. R50 sets that focused on dex, vit or strength would all be useful in various ways to the class and would offer some choice to the player. Also having multiple sets allows you to stand out among others at your rank/class. Even if there were sets that were almost the same stat wise, just having the choice of looks is also important.

Here here! Someone with some common sense! I tried to appeal to them in my 400 character plea in the second poll. For us artists, a little individuality is tantamount. I hope they can help us to retain our uniqueness, and while they're at it, add about 75 more hairstyles, too. And a dozen sliders for character creation.

Sigh, so many beautiful graphics, can't manipulate any of them.

Sad panda.

Actually, and luckily, the game is easily moddable

Unfortunately the effects of such mobs will, of course, appear only on your screen.

I am all for uniqueness but really??? you think there aren;t more important issues to fix first before making you character look nice?? Broken weapon skills, party dynamics, stam bar limiting players, no real end game content and plenty more to fix and you want to have diff lookin armor so you can look nice.
