Artifact Armors!

Now compare the concept art I linked to, to these pics...

Screaming Dark Knight to me.

Yeah, but we've already SEEN the concept art for that armor a long time ago... And from the looks of the magazine, it hasn't changed at all(and neither has the Black Mage one).

This is... bad? I get that he's kinda taken the DRK thing away with such deep purples and blacks, but it looks very dragon-ey to me. More dragon-ey than bright, solid purple at least. (excepting, of course, Spyro.)

I think it's kind of an improvement... especially the bone under the metal armor. That's beautiful. I imagine DRK will see some changes as well, if DRG looks like this, so I bet he's a tad more... evil.

The only thing Dragon-y about it are the spikes on the back, though... And I guess I could KINDA see the helmet being dragon-y as well... But sharp, pointy things are always on Dark Knights, and their helmets are always shaped like that.

I dunno, Kain is pretty sharp and pointy: http://vgfanart.com/snes/ff4/Dragoon%20Kain_jetzero.jpg

You're right about the helmet though.

I maintain that the Dragoon only looks like a dark knight because he's shadowed to shit back there. It looks like he's in a dark violet armor with a huge horned helmet and awesome dragon-like back-spikes, and he's about to land a high-velocity jump and put pretty much this EXACT halberd right through something's face.

WHAT ABOUT THAT ISN'T EPIC?

You people, man... sometimes.... [shakes little lalafell fist in rage] ... not so much into taking a long, analytical look at things.

EDIT:

I REPEAT: It's probably not a scythe.

Awesome, that definitely clarifies it for me, thanks!

Love the concepts , especially Drg. (except white mage, only because I wanted something a little less plain)

WHOA, lol. That just fan art though... xD

Let's look at a more recent official model..

A little pointy, but not blades sticking out of back/shoulders pointy, which again, is akin to the Dark Knight...

But whatever. Guess I'll just have to wait till they make a Thief job or something. :[

Leviathan. Get off that dragoon. You're not even a dragon. That doesn't make sense, you silly sea serpent.

Haha, you just reminded me of some of the Dragoon concept art for FFIX...

So we're getting the same old boring armors that have been in the franchise for so many years?

...What.

How about some...new designs please? I wanted to play FF14. Not "Nostalgia of all the old-school FFs".

[Corrderio]

Because people were QQing about this game not having the "FF tradition".
