So with some nice chest pieces come armbands that well, you might just kinda wana get rid of. Armbands come with body pieces like Strife Vest, Auri Gown, Star Velvet Himation of Casting and plenty plenty more.

So just wana suggest to have some arm gear that frees your entire arm of such things. Keeps your arm kinda plain n such. Seems those armbands get removed if your character is equipped with things like 'Eikon Leather Armguards of ___' or 'Thavnairian Armlets' but that obviously means you have to like those arm equipment, which I would guess not all do.

I know I'd have liked to dress my Hyur retainer in Hyuran Chemisette if it weren't for that silly looking thing attached to the arm. Or my Au Ra retainer with Auri Gown but that thing on the left arm just doesn't sit well with me.
