Each job had a different appearance for each gear?
For example, say they consolidate all the Strength gear (i.e. Striking and Maiming) into just a standardized Slaying set, but the appearance of the gear changes depending on whether you're Monk, Dragoon or Samurai?
Same with Aiming and Scouting gear, it all gets consolidated into Aiming or Precision gear, and the appearance of it changes depending on if you're a Ninja, Bard, Machinist or Dancer.
