I've collected a lot of barding sets, though not all. And generally I find most of them either comedic cute or over the top. Especially body and head-pieces. They are so full of huge protruding stuff, sometimes glowing and sometimes just... all over the place. It's all good, but there are almost no pieces that aren't either for fun or flamboyant. I would really like just a little variation to that. To me, huge glowing spikes and girly coifs and ribbons are the subligars of chocobo barding. :/
