so lets talk about reusing gear sets

[Iscah]

tomes taken from NPC'S gear , its looks so so and based from dragoon. why the tank set is dragon? why ninjas got the same one as mages?
as for crafted its a reuse from a PVP set. and not even one that people love that much.

The tome gear isn't based on dragoon as such, but is the armour of the guards of a city ruled by a dragon. Thus the dragon theme makes sense, although I do think it's a bit lacking in Thavnairian flavour. Ninja probably would have been better off getting the striking armour, but still overall it's the same amount of gear we always get per series: three designs distributed among the seven roles. And over on the Eorzea Collection Discord at least, people have been hoping to get the Radiant Host's armour since 6.0 launched.

As for the PVP gear, I think you're underestimating how much use some of the pieces get already (particularly the mage sets, and the aiming set is good for DNC) and this recolour has actually fixed one of the glaring issues with the old set, which is that the metallic parts dyed to a flat colour as if they'd been painted. The new gear dyes as coloured metal instead, which is far more useful. Also, the leather parts on the chitons previously dyed along with the cloth, but this version stays uncoloured.

(Edit to add: I'm playing around with the old and new versions of the Medicus set and it seems that the new version is something of a "HD upgrade" with more detailed textures on many of the parts.)


I am rather disappointed with the volume of gear in Endwalker overall, but I don't think these specific sets are a problem.
