Less robes, please

[myahele]

If people have such an issue with how this armor looks, why not just Glamour? Along with Desynth and Seals, this seems to be the only purpose of dungeon gear anyway

That wont fix the issue if they keep making robes for future content. Most gear that mages wear are other robes, <lv50 bilauds and some a handful of bikinis, suits....and that's pretty much it.

So you want, what? Armor?
People keep saying "we don't want robes" and posting pictures of enormously complicated outfits from other games.
Moreover since I can't find or seem to remember any robes that are similar to what we wear in this game in FFXI, i'm willing to hazard a guess that the abundance of non-robes in that game is due to design limitations, whereas the abundance in this game is due to not having that limitation.
Even moreover, items designed purely for glamour are increasingly coming into the game without class restrictions.
Rather than saying "I want something that THIS game has!!" maybe make a suggestion that would actually fit in this game? A lot of those "sets" from other games just...don't quite meet the aesthetic of FFXIV, and would look pretty silly if you don't have the fully set.
"More" of something is a good suggestion. "Less robes" probably just isn't going to happen. Mages get more robes. If they added fewer robes, people would complain about there not being enough robes anymore.

Sure, light armor for mages should fit within this game's lore:

To be honest the whm af in ffxi I disliked a lot and was really happy to see the ffxiv version, much better imo .

I disliked many armor in ffxi.
The redmage hat and body I liked but it didn't had a proper Legg option on my female. It annoyed me a lot too see her skin.

Anyway I do want to see more variation.

I don't like many of the robes because they look too strange to me. But I do like robes in general. Gives me really mage feeling.

I prefer a more natural look.

And why do I have to see part of the bra in some nice bodies? On male they look often much better.

The only reason I like smn blm sch whm is purely cause robes look ace. It gives them that magic fantasy ish feeling. Is like asking Gandalf to wear jeans and a hippie top .... Just wouldn't be right

Thats cool and all but we dont all want to look like Gandalf. More options would always be welcome. I dont mind robes, but some variation on the glamors/gear would be very welcome!

While I agree that Gandalf would probably mostly wear robes, what exactly is un-magelike about normal shirts and pants?

It's ok if you want to look like Gandalf, but please give me an option to look like these...



I'm not asking SE to remove or replace all the robes, just want some variation.

I only like the most right one, really would want that one.

The rest shows way too much body for my taste.

I'll take all of these, especially Rydia's.
