Matching Set Bonus's

[AmyNeudaiz]

I think this needs to be more of a common thing in gear. The trend of everyone looking like clowns who randomly picked their clothes out for the day is really tiring and this can be a good incentive to get people to stop looking silly for stats.
One of the good things about FF is that it looks good and things stop looking good when you see people wearing mismatched things like Felt Bracers with a Darklight Cuirass, Explorers Boots, AF pants and a Militia Helm (/display on) on a WAR or other really off variations constantly. (And yes, I actually saw that. It nearly made me cry in pain.)

I'm not suggesting major changes, just incentive for people to not look like clowns for stats. It's one of the things I hate most about MMO's.


Edit:

And let me make myself a little more clear, I want this for the sake of immersion. I do not want to be forced to pick between having a nice looking character and a good character that looks stupid.

I agree.

so you hate people that gear up properly to beat a content?

This could be fixed by letting us dye all armor in each of the available colours.

Heck and different armor sections for mixing and matching.

I agree on the set bonus, some of it is quite good.
Just poor justification on your part.

Fashion Slut?

Other then that i agree, set bonus's is cool, but i would only like to see it to some certain sets, not the regular ones.

No, I understand end game and it's justifiable to do it as is, I would just rather there be set bonus's so I myself don't have to look like a clown in order to have a good gear set.

Not so much that, more along the lines of immersion. But I do agree regular crafted gear shouldn't have it.

I do like the idea of set bonuses, but a Vanity slot system would help the very issue minus the need to either rework current armor, or gimp upcoming set's base stats because the total set bonus would be "overpowered", so to speak.
