[Dev Request] How about Ascian/Garlean Armor?

[Grimmel]

I would just like to point out to all those going 'BUT THEY'RE VILLAINS!' that we have the magitek mounts of Livia and Nero available in the Mog Station.

Now what's supposedly odd about thaaaat...oh yeah. They were villains! We can summon voidsent mounts and minions. We've gotten plenty of things based off 'villains' in the series, living or otherwise. So yeah, that's not a valid 'point' unless it comes from Yoshi-P himself.

Fairly good point right there.

I have a suspicion that there might be a quest in SB where we will once again have to disguise ourselves as Garleans (like the Imperial chestpiece and Imperial Pot Helm we already have). If you remember in the keynote from last weekend, Doma has some sorts of shields around it and they look Garlean to me. My thinking is that Garleans are rebuilding it and the shields only let through Garlean transport, so we might have to steal one to get in, which will also require a disguise.

I also believe that we will get new garlean themed armor as well.

Darklight Robes are ok, but only mages can wear them. Something similar that can be glamoured to other jobs would be nice to have.

I want this gear in game for glamour purposes though

i wouldn't mind seeing some dyeable garlean armor in the game i personally would prefer to get them via quest's but mogstaion would work as well heck maybe even weapons based on the empire like that war hammer and canon shield they could make unique designs that we havent see before or just realse the ones we have or a throw back like the white ravens armor from 1.0. I mean who hasn't thought of at least dressing up like the bad guy's/girls? sometimes the role of a villain is more fun!

I want to support this (especially Ascian robes) but!...

Not yet. There might be a time in the timeline of the game, maybe an Ascian-themed expansion where it would be lore-wise to let it be available and only in the mog station.

It is unclear if we will finally visit Garlemald in the next expansion, maybe we can get the garlean race as well, but in any event, Ascian robes and Garlean armor (such as Regula Van Hydrus or Gaius Van Baelsar) should be available only at the proper time, and that time is definitely not yet. Either the Ascians (only Elidibus is making a presence now, as Lahabrea, Igeyorhm and Nabriales are out for the moment) should evolve into a different robes or appeareance, then make the old robes available, or wait until the Ascian saga is done with, then make it available. But having tons of people running around in Ascian robes would be a bit of a lore-breaking feature for now.

Again I support this, but now is not the right moment to do it. Later yes.
