I personally find Assize pretty neutral. If there's any animations that leans toward being overtly feminine, IMHO that goes to Lilybell placement animation.

Assize, lilybells, temperance twinkle sparkle sound.... you get used to it tbh. WHM leans more on 'cutesy/childish' aesthetics, which just happens to fit female characters more often than not.

Job gear though? yeah, overtly feminine, you can't possibly say they're unisex and then have us dressed like this

I dont know, I rather like a lot of it, and the weathered ebers is probably my favourite gear of any

Oh, I don't know. I like the level 50 stuff. As a long time fan of the original Final Fantasy game, I was proud to earn those robes. But, I agree. A lot of it is just bad.

I think some combination of the SCH throwing out attacks, throwing down Sacred Soil (bonus points if it 'blocks' a projectile, ie the projectile explodes on contact with the bubble, not the characters within), and the fairy darting to and fro to heal people, could work. I think the main thing they'd need to emphasize is the idea of 'SCH is a barrier healer, and when you play it 'well', you can literally negate enemy attacks'

Maybe some quick-cuts between close-ups of the WoL (shoulders down, not showing their face until the end to reveal 'oh the SCH was the WOL the whole time) where they're giving out orders/tactics for the other combatants to follow, and battlefield scenes where the other combatants are executing the orders given (and it's a very one-sided fight in their favour, because the WOL's tactical decisions are so on point) mixed in too

That's the kind of thing I was thinking of. It really isn't difficult to show a healer being heroic in the same way we see tanks and damage dealers portrayed. I thought Square did a great job showing off Alphinaud as a sage in Endwalker's trailer. We just need to see Square make the leap to using the WoL instead of one of the Scions.

I honestly quite like the main body pieces of the WHM gear. DT’s set is the best full set yet. It has great brown leather accents to really hit the adventurer/explorer feel that a lot of the sets went with this expac. And the metal leaf headpiece is so nice, I wish I could use it on other classes.
