Thread: 4.0 Job them Armor sets

I really hope one day S.E. will use different outfits for male and female characters... Because I'm tired of having a girly BRD, a girly WHM and... Well... Almost a girly everything, with robes, long boots, long coats, princess sleeves, etc... Please hire US or EU designers if you're not able to design masculine outfits !

Thing about SCH is they're kind of the Velmas of FFXIV. Lore-wise, fashion isn't exactly one of their strengths, which belongs to their intellect and tact. They got to be a bookworm with AF1, and a feathery Mr. Peanut with AF2. At least this set is a little better in terms of aesthetics when compared to their previous sets.

When getting into SCH lore and the City of Nym, scholars seem to have functioned very much like an elite military unit. The AF1 coat is also a custom military shade of green, and has medals of recognition on it. I wish they would stick with this military themed look, and they've kind of recaptured it with this new set.

But ENOUGH with deliberately making they look bad. Give them something like this:

The only good looking armor set is the one for the class I'll never play, damn you WHM :c

I like them in general.

Don't have any strong feelings towards BLM or DRG. BLM looks much nicer than its previous ones at least, while DRG seems a logical evolution; not entirely sure if I consider that good or bad though.
SCH I don't have any interest in. SMN looks pretty similar to its 3.0 AF Set, which I did like, but something a bit different might've been better?
DRK looks pretty cool, not sure if I like it more than the Chaos set though. PLD has a simple aesthetic, but looks loaded with detail, and looks very stylish overall. WAR is definitely my favorite of the Tanks though. The brief glimpse we get of it looks really, really cool.
AST and WHM both look pretty, with AST having a less ostentatious design compared to 3.0, while continuing its kind of "Dancer" aesthetic, which I really like.
MNK doesn't do much for me, though I await to see it on a female avatar, while NIN I'm really enjoying the look of.
BRD looks very stylish as well it should, while MCH looks... really bland imo. Worst of the bunch.
RDM and SAM both look suitably nice for their first outings.

Ast looks like something straight out of FFXII

I do not like how the Samurai gear looks on me at all. A number of people can sport it nicely, but I cannot.

I feel like the BLM set is the closest I'll ever get to becoming Vivi. I don't mind most of the sets. I really don't care for the healing ones though.

I'm not particularly taken with the new armours. I like the monk one well enough but sad about the lack of tattoos on the female version
I really don't like the new WHM one, but I really liked the WHM for both ARR and HW so maybe that places me in the minority? I tend to prefer practical to princess.
