Less robes, please

[Enthy]

I agree. Less robes and butt capes, please. I would love most if not all of the gear we already have in game if it didn't all have the weird butt capes SE insists must be on all body armor, DPS and Mage..

Everything for DPS and Tank is a trench coat ~_~

What I find especially funny about the examples in this thread is that tons of people hated the XI designs and blamed PS2 limitations and other things for why we couldn't ever wear actual robes and always got stuck with these weird upper-body-only robes and pants. This was pointed out even more for BLM and WHM AF, which were heavily modified from their original 8-bit garb because of the limitations XI had, resulting in things like the notorious "condom hat."

I do agree we need more variation, especially because that's kind of the whole point of glamours. One of the things I've noticed we're severely lacking in is actual skirts. Except for the spring skirt, SCH AF, and a select few sets of socks+miniskirts, everything else is a dress or robe, where the skirt portion is attached to the body side.

Although I will also point out that the Ironworks Casting set is a lot like some of the examples posted from other things - it's clearly a mage set but designed for movement.

I can appreciate what they're going for with the AF2 or whatnot, since Heavensward is all about Ishgard and Ishgard is a massive theocracy with all the bells, whistles, and cathedrals. They're going for a monastic/nun/priest sort of look with that WHM gear. That said, I did always like how in XI WHM got an assortment of light-duty tanking armor and hammers to beat things unmerciful with. I hope they can do something like that with XIV someday.

I honestly prefer the "frilly robes" over a lot of the "gaudy glamours" I've seen people doing.........

I hate to break it to you but it seems like Astrologian will be chock full of "frilly robes" as well.

Not to mention a gawdy awful hat...

I like the idea of less long robes and some shorter robes/bilauds, but only if we get some appropriate leg and footwear to go with them.



I've been a fan of this combo for awhile now. It's just different from all the other stuff we get.

What pants and shoes are those?

Cashmere Skirt of Healing & the eternal bonding boots.

I love bilauds so I really wish we could get more in different styles. They pair so well with skirts and boots.

One thing I would like to see is a bit of racial customization between the sets- at the very least they could pay attention to how they scale things between the races. @_@;;

I mean, it probably will never happen, but sometimes...what works for the smaller races will look like crap on the bigger ones.
