Well, to translate what I think OP wants: can we have more functional over pretty looking gears?

To which I add: I probably have a completely different point of view from OP but I like too see characters with different styles and something that is really missing are more simple, pratical looking gears.

I find it okay to have the AF being as iconic and flashy as they can be but add more through glamour options starting from what the game lacks. I think we all can agree with this, as it in time will make everybody happy, can't we?
