Artifact Sets are Uninspired

I haven't got the benchmark uploaded yet but I kinda wished they let the viper's hood be visible to vieras

I don't think we've been shown whether it works or not.

The preset job gear costume for the benchmark does not include the hood for characters who would definitely be able to wear it, so its absence on Viera tells us nothing.

a lot feel very samey. but Rpr and Rdm are at least a little more visually interesting.

Of course it looks like a texture update, they're transparently deliberate riffs on each job's first iconic set to match the idea of the clean slate of the 'new adventure'. I'd wager they'll be replacing the old job armor previews so new sets with new textures can be on display while preserving the silhouettes and themes expected.

Mmm, a lot look like more of the same. SMN, RPR, DNC and MNK look great, though.

I like that there is a general aesthetic that they stick to,only one i dont like is bard.
