Less robes, please

[Buttons]

While I love many of the robe designs I can only agree. Too many mage designs are frilly girly robes and us male chars look odd in them.

We need some more short coats that don't look like caped dresses please.

Take a look at the FFXI White mage AF and AF3 gear. Lots of detail but not a long robe that looks like a dress. Also look at the hat. It's a hood but there is still a fringe of hair.







Now look at the upcoming WHM gear we are getting in heavensward. Floor length robe with an open front again and this time with a hooded hat. But the hooded hat hides all your hair. Why. Can't we just have some default fringe of hair so that we don't look like weird nuns. :/
The hood style is similar to the FFXI ones, but those actually show some of your hair. The FFXIV wraps your entire head into weird cloth... will look horrible on male characters.



The WHM hat should be more alike to the current Botanist AF hat. Its pointy, could be cowl like if it was a bit larger but your hair still shows!
