Healer/ Caster Gear design

[Anvaire]

There is currently and issue with healer / caster gear design in that not only is it nearly always a colour swap of each other, but it always follows the destinct style of being a dress. Essentially it needs much more variance. Taking a look at the healer and Caster gear of 6.1 and 6.2 highlights it. There is no deviation in style at all.

When i consider it there are a couple of branches of design square enix could go down

Heay Robe / Dresses - such as all of 6.2's gear design
light robe - SMN af3 or the thaliak robe would fit into this.
Armoured - The last armoured piece that was not just an armoured robe is well... never.
Coat, tunic, top - gearsets that do not heavily resemble robes. These suit Red mage a lot.

The issue currently is not that robes are designed but the prevelance. There is little variariance in design, resulting in most just being loosefitting robes. Individually the gear looks good. But as it is always a similair shape, a similiar design, it lacks variety and ultimately leads to feeling stale. The same issue can also be said of the colour choice with caster = black and healer = white being standard.

Yet to look at melee there are four different designs for each, a lot of which would not look out of place on a caster or healer.
