That Ranged Physical DPS Design is the one I'm most looking forward to.

Yes i too like metal gear rising

[Jeenoo]

All of them looks so cool (delinquent striker looks especially close to part 3 jojo's clothes lol). Ones i really like that is unique is the プロハンター (pro hunter) outfit.

as a miquote, i would love a hat with that covers 1 ear and exposes the other (and the eye covers are super lit). also really want a

spriggan backpack and a namazu necklace <3 (also dat ”physical ranged dps" DBZ scouter tho )

I want the one with the tank top and black jeans look. The one that's on the female au ra form. That design would be so good as a monk design.

So the metal gear one won? and the others won't be used? Cause I honestly prefer the others, metal gear is cool and all but it's very bland, it lacks imagination and creativity.

I do wish they'd at least retain the runners-up as 'potential' gear designs if they find a situation that fits their theme in the future. There's been more than a few designs from those contests that haven't won but that I desperately want, and it's just such a shame we're unlikely to ever see them. The Caster / Healer portion of the contest was rife with designs like that in particular... I can't say I honestly liked either winner. :/

( Some of the short list entries from the 2016 Tank Gear contest were really darn good as well... That's probably the only contest where the Winners and Runners Up never appealed to me. )

I was REALLY disappointed in the tank design winners. They were pretty much exactly like half the tank pieces already in the game, just with slightly different colors and ornamentation. If you told me they picked the winner based on what would be easiest to implement in-game, I would totally believe you. :/ There were some really clever and out-there entries that I was excited about; the winning entries didn't even ding my radar.

I'm definitely looking forward to the Melee DPS winner; that outfit, with its skintight, one-piece bodysuit, is really like no other gear we have!

To each their own. I don't think it lacks imagination or creativity at all...it just isn't to your personal liking. I personally love that set and can't wait to see it. Some of the other ones were good too though.

I'd forgotten about these and I'm still disappointed with what they picked.
