Gear Design Contest (Caster/Healer Edition): Winners Announced

[Texa]

I look forward to the sexy men and the dev team implementing new types of gear in stormblood!

[CuteWhisper]

I would think they would make it for both make and female characters?

[TristanBlane]

I'm sure they will make both male and female gear it'd be so dumb if they didn't. I'm REALLY looking forward to the caster gear~! That robe/shawl thing I NEED. The Healer gear is interesting and im curious to see how they implement it. They said they picked it for the medical route so I'm intrigued.

The Ashley Riot pants for the caster set get my vote. Go Team Buttocks.

"Eh."

They're probably going to heavily modify caster's set. I don't see the wrap-around-arm black cloth working for soooo many motions and emotes. It's incredibly impractical even if it looks awesome; without the cloth (which they may scrap if they can't do it correctly) I think the design is overall less attractive. Its also clearly designed for lithe characters. I don't see the butt-window finding itself on male models.

Incredibly disappointed they picked a healer entry with a "female-only" model that you know is going to be heavily adjusted for male characters. Those thigh-socks probably aren't going to survive the gender transition and will likely just get turned into pants. Would have liked to see the entirety of the hat without those Miqote ears in the way...

...Speaking of which, also noticing that both models are on Miqote...

I don't see the wrap-around-arm black cloth working for soooo many motions and emotes.

It seems the team took up this challenge, and the character designers and animation designers are already racking their brains trying to think how to replicate the cloak and flames.

They do neither. But I appreciate that they'll at least try - If nothing else, they may learn something neat in the process they can use elsewhere.

Personally, I like neither of the two - but that's a matter of taste. I don't think I ever liked any contest winner >_>

[UnstablePersonality]

I mean...I like the head piece on the caster set.

[XSamsaraLotusX]

It's specifically drawn on a male character. There's a variant in grey for the bodice on a female frame. It's really no more female than the Wolfliege set or many other caster fetishwear costumes - clearly the devs like a bit of fan service for everyone.

Irrelevant but I can confirm that gay strippers are, indeed, male, and always have been.

Well you got a point

[JunseiKei]

Grats on the winners~ ^^

...Although I'm incredibly disappointed. Both sets contain high collars that will clash with long hair. ;^; *Sulks in a corner. Especially knowing the 4.0 WHM job gear also have a high collar. RIP due to clipping.*

[Derio]

Love the caster one. The healer one needs a male variant
