In regards to Dancer and Brd/Mch Gear

[TThibi]

Is there no oversight, nobody in charge of looking at the gear in game and saying is this appearance appropriate for the jobs it is assigned to? Just looking at the Eden gear in light of my dancer makes me want to barf. The Ronkan set I forgave, afterall it was just tome crap everybody glams that crap, and really the same can be said about all high level gear. SE just seems incapable of putting out attractive designs either they're hiring art school failures or they don't have enough Otaku running the show. Cmon SE this quality shortfall could be forgiven if for every dumpster fire you release was accompanied with an equal number of interesting attractive glam options or best yet just make the stuff look better in the first place. Instead we have to comb through the trash heap to find anything remotely presentable to wear. Even sadder I have to come to the forums and complain about it, the detailing on some of these pieces shows someone is actually intending this stuff to come out like this which makes me fear for the game as a whole.

I think the problem lies in too many jobs now sharing the same gear. Honestly, GNB and DNC don't fit into where they have been placed, so we are never going to get great DNC gear. Basically DNC and GNB will have to be glamoured, which stinks.

This. If they wanted DNC to be a DPS, they should have shared gear with NIN.

Can't please everyone. Just glamour stuff on stuff you don't like and move on? Not everything looks nice to everyone.

Problem being there aren't many distinct DNC/GNB sets like there are for the other classes. I understand that there are so many classes now they can't do it all, but it would make sense for the gear during the expansion/patch cycle that introduced new classes be themed after those classes during that expansion.

The first set of 8-man normal raids always gives off a "dim" or "tarnished" aura, and while savage versions can be dyed, normally the highly sought after pieces are from the 2nd or 3rd set of raids.

Not gonna lie, while I do get the desire for gear sets from dungeons/raids to match the jobs that can wear them...the Captain of the Guard at the Crystarium is a dancer wearing full armor, except for around her thighs.

Really outside of job artifacts, I wouldn't expect gear to look like they were tailor made for every job.

I mean, I agree that it’s super ugly in my opinion, but there’s not much we can do now that it’s already been released.

Also as an aside why does Dragoon always get the capes? Why can’t ranged get a an actual cape for once lol

Dancers have multiple aesthetics
The guard captain is in full armor and she looks fine
Gunbreaker is a bit more screwed because they just look wrong in full plate armor

Thankfully there are tanking sets that fit the GNB Aesthetic still... though they are definitely not the norm. The Ravel Keeper set, The Lakeland set, the Alliance set, and the Nomad Set all look pretty good for GNB. Though maybe that's because I'm also a Xaela.
