It wasn't exactly hard for the Allagan set to win when the rest of the competition was filled with mainly joke submissions, or just DPS and Caster gear with some metal boots. While I found it funny I couldn't understand how *Fantasy Revolver Ocelot* got into the finalists and while I think Gungnira's submission was very well drawn it felt like it belonged in one of PSO2's fan design contests more than FFXIV. Decent selection of runner-ups overall though. I just hope the next time they do one of these gear design contests there's a more fitting selection of finalists to fit whatever class or role the contest is for.



* The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
* Design ideas:
Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

No? That's the reason it got to be a runner up, I was more referring to say....
NIN/MNK gear with some metal boots
or
Just Nibblesnarf armor
or
Fantasy Revolver Ocelot
How about you read someone's entire post next time before jumping down their throat. I think all but the PSO2 armor are a fine selection of runner-ups. But most of the initial finalist designs were not tank gear.



It will come, but as a crafted gear and not as the contest winner
While this is a simplistic design with what seems to be rustic materials, the coat and marge mesh extremely well, and it looks very cool. We’d like to see a leatherworker and weaver create the materials, and then have an armorer put it all together!
