How did this turn into a cash shop thread when the point of the OP was clearly requesting Kain Highwind's armor for DRGs (specifically the 012 rendition based off the original ffiv gear...nice!)?

Aside about cash shops:

I don't understand automatically asking for something to be put in the cash shop when they haven't even decided to develop it yet. You should ask for it to be included in-game up front. Why settle for paying more for something when you don't have to?

I don't mind having it, presuming it stays cosmetic. I would even avail myself of it if I knew all of it was going back into FFXIV. I don't, and SE has lots of other things going for it right now: VII 2.0, XV, [strike]Half life[/strike] Kingdom Hearts III, Dissidia 2.0, manga even. So personally I don't use it. I would invite everyone who doesn't like the cash shop to do the same. If they start selling real content, like for example housing, through the cash shop, I will be the first to riot.

On topic: The DRG AF is almost always modeled on this concept: skin-tight scale armor with dragon/wing motifs. I doubt it will ever be exact, but I can assure you that Kain will influence all of the DRG AF gear for pretty much ever. As an aside, did you guys like the SMN AF2 gear based of Rydia? I have heard people either love it or hate it, haha.
