Colored gear with specific classes.

[Kiote]

Better than looking the same as... well, everyone.

How can you possibly believe that giving everyone the ability to wear any color they want would make you look the same as everyone?

Your class currently has a specific kind of Armour. You share it will ONE other class. Then you have other unique traits such as weapons and shield and accessories.

Allowing yourself to be any color will only make you more of an individual.

Allowing other to be any color they want will not make your Armour Design any less unique.

You are literally arguing against a non-existent possibility. Free choice of color will not make mages able to wear heavy armour. It will not allow ranger to use shields. You are telling the world you want less options and you believe that will somehow make you more unique. It doesn't make sense.

D: that's how it sounded to me as well. The thing I liked about being able to choose, and still choose, between different colours is that it allowed for different combinations of the same set. This allowed me to look different from another person as I could pick a different pair of shoes or body piece to suit the situation. Colour was never a problem. Now with the soft imposed stats, frankly I don't care and that's nice and everything, but there is a specific piece with a specific stat that will always trump the other.

Such as green robe, red hat (within the same set.) instead of blue robe, blue hat. In no way has the armour set changed but you may look different from another conjurer who favours a different colour and a different head piece.

But if you bestow base stats that favour one 'role' then many are going to look similar to one another and that is hardly unique. And like Kiote said, colour doesn't mean that suddenly mages can wear Gladiator AF. I don't even understand where you even got that from.

We have Materia, different model sets with set stats, and a variety of weapons. Why on earth would you want to restrict individuality within an aesthetic-based dye system to restrict choice even further? O_o;

And did we ever get that list of games with a stat-dye system?
