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.

Even SE has caught on to presenting the best gear on lalafells.

Has anyone seen an image of what it looks like? I've tried Googling for it and can't find any, so I don't know if any images that actually show it have been released yet. The lighting in this gif is clearly designed to tease it rather than showing it. It appears there may be quite a few spiky bits, but without seeing what they are, I can't really tell how much that's going to screw up the look.

The Ninja is actually looking boring and they haven't put much effort in the designs of it. Compare this with Dragoon and you see what I mean:
ARR:

Heavensward Dragoon:


If the developers actually put more input in the designs of Ninja, it would've been much more adjusted than the ''standard'' ninja look. Especially the headpiece - no Ninjahead band - everyone looks the same when u have the headpiece on - no unique appearance.

Dragoon armour is supposed to be elaborate and spiky. That attention-grabbing look is part of the core concept of the job. Ninja gear is supposed to be subdued and avoid calling attention to it, because that's part of that job's concept. Any detailing on NIN gear needs to be far more subtle than DRG gear.

An outfit that's specifically designed to help you hide, and in particular to keep your identity hidden and secret, isn't really suited to ensuring everyone has a unique appearance. For any other job that might be a legitimate complaint, but not for NIN, where being unrecognizable is one of the objectives.

This is the Ninja way of life, not be noticeable.

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.
