    Thoughts about the new Trophy Crystals AF gear

    I'll be real even though I like them, I don't see what's their purpose.
    Are they intended to be the reworks of the old AF sets or just alternative versions ? Why do ARR jobs get their Heavensward AF sets HD-ified, while expansion jobs get their first one ? Especially the RPR and SGE ones seem rather pointless.

    Just feels like a bit of a waste to spend 7500 trophy crystals to obtain an HD version of a set that will anyway get reworked. Main positive is that they're all lvl 1. Still, would have been nice for Square to elaborate on that...

    To me it was just them cutting corners once again. But some of the weapons aren't bad I guess. I just wish the armor was just as unique.

    The sets are super nice HD reworks yes. I don't know why they went that route, if anything the sets that would make the most sense would be the SB ones as you still have to go into Eureka and farm a lot to even make them dyable. Either way though, I don't consider the rewards a total loss or the best case scenario of what could've happened. And yes, the RPR and SGE make the least sense of all.

    5/10 on the decision for those rewards.

    I'm just generally concerned about this shift to "high detail" versions of gear. From the things produced so far, metal in particular looks very rough and often dyes very poorly and patchily. Cloth parts can have undyeable marks or splodges – the male Viera starter gear, for example, has little grey scruffy bits all over the cloth and it makes dye look washed-out and muted.

    Even without the dye issues, I just feel that they look worse on screen than the cleaner originals.

    If this is the future of all gear in the game, I don't like it.

    I like them a lot actually fixing those horrendous textures on the Chaos set is great plus RDM and GNB set looks nice updated
    and they are level one so i can easily get them for my alt
    and considering we got a lot of glam sets this patch and its all actually dyable I think ill give re textures a pass

    After an expansion of just the Lost Allagan set as the PvP gear, I was excited for something new. Imagine my disappointment to find out that the "new" sets are just old AF, but HD.

    It would not be too bad if they were purchasable with Wolf Marks, but they are not worth using crystals for unless you really like how they dye.

    They do dye differently to the original sets, so there is another difference.

    I get peoples disappointment with them being reworks but I actually love the dye channels on a lot of these updated sets so thats where I've been throwing my pvp crystals. The SMN and SGE sets are so good.

    I wasn't impressed. And I think the Ninja weapon looks stupid.
