so if THM has a large MP pool and high MP costs, im wondering what BLMs stats are gonna be using GLD/PLD as an example.

To the ppl talking about the WHM hood, I just want to point out..

There was a concept art drawing shown at either the 2.0 announcement or the second live interview, idr, but it had the whm af tunic with a hood and an arrow that seemed to indicate (to me anyways) that it would be adjustable to have hood up or down. Seeing as what they've been doing with weapons I don't see why that wouldn't be possible.

Edit: It's on page 4 of the Concept art under the 2.0 announcement. There are pictures with the hood down then one with it up and an arrow pointing up next to it.

And to everyone else talking about the hood, please see this thread. The important quote is also below.

Q: You're displaying concept art in the slideshow behind you. I noticed that the white mage was shown with her hood both up and down. Will players be able to toggle between these looks?

A: We're nearly at the final stage of implementation. Testing continues, but we've been informed that this will be very difficult to implement.

The whm weapon looks beautiful! so glad that's my main. All of it looks amazing regardless.

The image is awesome. But the only think i don't like is the paladin sword... too much "different" from the rest of the 'realistic equipment' we have so far and a bit plastic-like :/

I agree actually... it really looks off in that picture. I was hoping it'd look like the one in the illustration here.

I think it has a nice "Final Fantasy" feel to it.

MNK armor looks pretty nice. everything else is mehh..

[Andrien]

Yeah I agree as well. I think the PLD sword should slim down a bit. Otherwise it would be suited more as a 2 handed sword. Everything else is cool, except maybe the Bard/Ranger armor looks to feminine for males.

Job armour looks amazing, as the above post said WHM would look better with the hood up.

If you guys remember from the concept drawings there is a hood for WHM and it looks like it can be worn up or down.
