There's just something about that set that says to me, "This is what my mithra thief should look like."

EDIT: I don't think most people would be against certain limitations. Like if your class/job isn't listed on the equipment, then you can't use it as pure visual equipment.
They could always design clothes that only going into the appearance tab too, so you'd have as mix of using already existing clothes plus special 'cosmetic' clothes that would be obtained by some means or another.

'course that would increase production times since they'd have to make the 3D models for that stuff too.
