Question about Job "AF Armor"

[Coglin]

I've confirmed with the dev. team that they won't be making it possible to dye job-specific equipment in the future. For some people, jobs and their equipment hold a special image in their minds and there might be those put off by the fact that the image can be altered by being able to dye them multiple colors. We want to maintain that special image by keeping the equipment uniform.

Its ridiculos that the rest of us cannot wear a color we want because of someone elses delicate nature of what a jobs image should be. If we are expected to pay for our accounts how are we expected to give a rats backside about someone elses opinion of the color of our gear and how it effects there image of the job?

However, in the future, it might be possible to release different colored job-specific equipment as new items.

This is better to read after the above statement. That being said, Its ridiculos that at this day in the age of MMOs, we are still so pigon holed to someone elses image of how a character of a certain job should look.

If I want to play my bard as a vibrant and flamboyant trubador, then I should be capable of looking the part and having multiple colors in my gear (IE. read head gear, green shirt, blue pants, and pink shoes) I chose.

If I want to play a dark hearted dirge, I should be capable of wearing a solid black set of gear if I find it fitting and appropriate, (or a black hooded bear for that matter) hooded gear needs a whole other discussion with it having less stats then helm/breastpiece in the first place, not to mention after you add 2 materia to the previous, yet can only add one to the latter.
