Enough with this Armor Silhouette! Enough!

+1 to this, please give us some more armor variety

[Hycinthus]

No, you'll wear your long armoured skirts and you'll like it!

(I'm joking by the way)

Seriously though, I agree variety in gear design is never a bad thing - ironically for tank, especially PLD, glamour, I prefer armour where the body curiass/breastplate are seperate, thus allowing greater creativity in glamour (I admit I have a preference for the Spring Skirt in this regard). Funnily enough, most tank armour pre level 50 was usually a plain breastplate or something similar without an armoured plate/chainmail skirt below it - it was only with later ARR and into HW did they start with the 'armoured trenchcoat/ballgown' look and have stuck with this almost exclusively.

I don't know if this is because the gear designers are different to the 1.0 ones and are designing what they like, but the variety creativity in gear design is starting to stagnate like the last years of Amaurot...

I did notice that. Whenever I’m looking for a separare breastplate, it’s usually an older ARR armors that’s available. I truly wondered who or what made SE dug deep into this Tent shape battle skirt style. I have never really seen this shape before in any other games at all. I think their designers just need more inspiration. I don’t think it’s a resource issue either - just remove the bottom part of the tent, and let the top breastplate separate, then that will let players mix and match even better.

Come to think about it... the OP is right.

I guess that's why whenever they release a design that is not that, the items suddenly become really popular, like the YoHRa, Neo Ishgardian, Pagl'than, Warg sets...

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

Yes please. And while you are at it, please also introduce healer gear that is not just a recolor of the caster gear. Thank you.

MORE PANTS AND ARMOR FOR MAGES

I'm so, so sick of battle dresses. Enough of them already.

I really like that silhouette personally, but more variety is always cool.

At least reprint the Lunar Envoy legs for Fending and Striking, as well as the Althyk Striking and Scouting legs, and reprint them for Mages.

While I am also kind of over this silhouette myself I'd at least like the above 4 leg slot gear to be made accessible to Mages/all other Jobs by having them be repurposed in gear sets down the line.

Like at least spread the really good ones around so every role has a chance at them.

[DiaDeem]

Main thing I'd like is for Casters/Healers, Striking/Maiming, Aiming/Scouting to get different looking sets that are not just recolors of each other.

but i like to feel the breeze between my knees as a slaughter my foes

It's very telling that a lot of them comes from different games or from community contests.
The gear design team really needs new ideas.
