Personally I love the robes in this game... most of them. I despise the boring simplistic Bliauds, as I had to wear them or a basic cloth robe the entire time I was leveling (and I actually preferred those bed sheets to the bliauds). So to not have to wear them again would be great.

Though I'm not saying casters should only wear robes, there should be some coats or even perhaps light armor sets that aren't also robes as well. Diversity isn't a bad thing to have when there's millions of people who all have their own tastes.

But don't hate on robes, they're awesome. This game just needs more variety with it's robes instead of reusing the same style with a different texture.
I completely agree. I enjoyed wearing some of the leveling gear. I think my fav during beta was the blue robe that was a reward from a CNJ quest. I liked the hooded robes that came from thanalan, all the caster AF sets, the Darklight set, and the sol/poetic gear. Except for the (fake) tail. Seemed a bit forced to me. Some sets are not to my taste, but I see no reason to hate on them.

More variety is always a good thing. Robes or otherwise.

(also, more thigh-high boots please)
