What was the design reason behind the Rathalos Armor Set?

[Selvokaz]

I'm curious, as a person who played MH many years ago on the PSP (freedom unite 2 I think), I have some fond memories of hunt grinding Rathalos just to make that long sword and armor set. So I was stoked about the cross-over but even before it's launch when I saw the armor design for the FF14 Rathalos inspired armor set, well you could guess my disappointment. I'm not going to point out what MHW got, as that doesn't really help matters much, but are they maybe at least planning on a future update to I don't know change the armor sets appearance into that of the actual Rathalos armor?
Maybe the lead costume designer was on summer vacation and couldn't be reached to do it? I'd just like some insight into the design choice for a reskin/recolor of a existing armor set. Did Square lose a bit with Capcom or something?
