Clan specific armor?

[Shura]

I know square added starting gar that is unique for each race. Is it likely they will ever clan specific armor? Think of the variety it would add to the game!!

It really depends on how SE decides to treat the different races/clans in ARR. While 1.0, had lore on the site for clans, made no real effort to differentiate between them in-game. FFXI had a lot more in-game lore between the race/clans/countries and even created a sense of culture around the races. fxiv does have culture between the cities, it does not between race, at least not an obvious one.

I Think original dev team stated that they didn't want their to be a big difference between race as far as gameplay/store goes and the new team didnt change that in 1.0 so we will have to wait and see what they do for ARR. If they races had their own unique feature in terms of culture, then u can create cloths around that aspect, right now there is no such difference between the race.

Yes clan specific armour, but not crappy starting gear. Clan specific "lore" quests and lv50 gear sets. Also whilst I am here, get someone different to design each separate set so they don't look as if one person designed every item of clothing in the entire game as it did in 1.0.

Cape? noooo please no. I don't want to play a batman and robin MMO !

Capes work great for some equipment like Knight type gear or mantles for some mage gear, I'd like to see them in game as part of the design of some body pieces so they wouldn't look too out of place.

Also, emulating cloth can be done at a decent enough level that it doesn't look ridiculous nowadays, so yeah I would like to see some more equipment that utilize that.

Capes are soooo fantastic right!?

that why i like FFXI storyline more then FFXIV in the sense the each race had it own culture. You knew why this race dislike that race or why this race befriend and live in this city. In FFXIV we all mix together the only thing we know that 4 race came from other island outside of eorzea and elezen are the only one that belong in eorzea.

Yoshi-p should really start thinking of adding mix race NPC in the game because in FFXI i understand how it could be rare. Each race that could mix dislike each-other like hume and elvaan and galka could not even mix with other race so that count them out lol.

I really want more culture everytime i play FFXIV i feel like i don't really belong anywhere. Just a person who can sign up to anything and join. I know that the point of us players but i did enjoy the fact that i'm a elvaan and i was born in san d'oria and i do anything for them. I just hope they can bring some of that into FFXIV something to hook me lore wise when it come to my race/clan.

Ya i know, but at least each race has their own starting gear i'm sure and each clan also.
But yah, they can't do that with armors for each race and clan. That would be crazy, and then everyone would want to have another race armor, but can't

I think only the races have different starting gear. Seekers of the Sun have different starting gear than Highlander, but same starting gear like Keepers of the Moon.

Judging from the look on that guy's face, I'd say yes they are.
