Ninja gear that looks like ninja gear

[Niwashi]

I know it's been quite a while since NIN came out, but I'm still pretty disappointed that we can't gear our NIN to actually look like ninja. Sure, the NIN AF set is pretty cool looking if you ignore what job it's supposed to be for, but it's plate armour. Can we please get a Ninja gear set added that actually looks like the traditional image for them? (Which yes, is really the traditional garb of theater stagehands, but that's beside the point.) All cloth, all black (hopefully fully dyable but black by default), and with no exposed skin except around the eyes.

There's kind of a need for practicality, though. Ninja is a "foreigner" job. The only real ninja in the game are the people involved with the job quest, Yugiri, and mobs in the towers
While they have said they're looking to add more "plain" ninja outfits in the future, at present they don't really "fit in" with the decidedly non-asian aesthetic of Eorzea.
Though I wager the art team is chomping at the bit for Doma to be added...if it's not the location for 4.0 I'll eat my hat.

Well, actually, to look authentic, you should dye it a dark blue. Black would make you stand out against a dark sky (night). Because the sky is blue.

If only they'd show us what it looks like on an adult...

Weapons and haircut aside, I'd actually like something akin to this dude's outfit:

It's funny that you're asking for 'traditional' ninja outfits, but what you mean by that is the traditional kabuki stagehand outfit that was 'adopted' for the ninja in entertainment. 'Traditional' (and by that I mean *real life*) ninja were superspies. They didn't have a 'uniform.' They wore whatever was necessary for the job, and quite often dressed like peasants.

Here's your Ninja:

Agreed, the NIN quests even touched upon this:



Still, I am quite happy with the relative plain-ness of the 3.0 NIN AF set. Alot closer to the traditional "hollywood" NINs

His forearm gives him away, notice how straight it is holding that pole (pause)... that dude knows some things...
