But I have no issue with the winner they chose. Some like it, some don't and that's totally fine. Welcome to living with the rest of the human race where we all have different likes and dislikes.

Most of the time yes, although it does have to be said that a setting is normally improved by keeping to a relatively cohesive aesthetic.

I'm not thrilled about the winning set, but I don't hate it either, and I have faith that the designers can make it fit in the world of FFXIV.

its really not much of a stretch to fit that gear in ff14..





i just hope every role gets the cool visor

I just hope the boots aren't quite as thick as in the original art, or the rest of the armor is scaled to match them. Feels like a skin suit and then mecha legs at present.

But, with a Automata-themed 24-man raid coming up... hard for it not to find a way to fit.

Wow the new ranged gear looks amazing!!!

I like the look of the aiming set. Shame about the melee set, it's going to be another Lost Allagan lookalike that people glamour over.
