Monks don't look like Monks.

[Eshier]

I have really been upset with whoever is designing the gear for the Monk class. Can we get some gear that actually allows us to look like a monk? When I think of monks and martial arts, Shaolin comes to mind. We don't have any robes or anything that makes us look like a monk. The far east set that came out with the amazon dlc was probably the closest thing to being a monk that in the game. Unfortunately, it's not obtainable unless you bought it through Amazon during the period available. Even that, is still not good enough. Please give us some monk gear in the game. Even with the Garo sets, Monk did not get any of the armor sets. The coat and titles were laughable compared to other classes like paladin getting Garo. Even ninja received an armor set. I'm not saying to abandon creating diverse gear, but please put gear that allows us to look like an actual monk. We practice martial arts. Also please give us hairstyles that make sense for a monk. I currently have to use the face pain option to paint dots on my head lol. That's pretty ridiculous. Please allow me to look like a monk who practices in a temple and looks like a monk from the east. I'll save my opinion on how the class plays for another post. I will say, GLC, Positional, six-sided star and tornado kick don't mix.

The thing is, you're not a monk from "the east" unless you're defining that as Gyr Abania.

The game is very clear about what kind of monk we are - Ala Mhigan warrior-monks, the 'Fist of Rhalgr' - and what they're supposed to look like: the original relic gear gathered and presented to us as part of the process of becoming a monk.

Widargelt is our primary example of what a monk "should" look like in Eorzea.
