The armor and weapon that Raubahn has, in a certain quest cut-scene, is frickin awesome. We definitely need more armor and weapons like that. Same with the Empires armor and weapons.

From Helmets with horns, to a blade with water inside it. Final Fantasy has always impressed me with the gear/item designs (concept art is always cool in like the instruction manuals, or on the packaging, in the FF logo) along with the elaborate trippy graphic spells (Especially in the later games). 14 has really yet to impress me with this.

I just hope that the "Artifact Gear" for the jobs is going to be on a similar scale of coolness.
