The appearance options in this game are bar none the most disappointing thing about the game. There isn't nearly enough variety in the leveling game, which is funny. Because most MMO games the exact opposite is true. There is a MASSIVE amount of different armor and weapons, and once you hit the level cap, you become one with the clone army, with everyone wearing similar gear.

The Dye mechanics, and the lack of variety in the armor during leveling are something that need a dramatic overhaul. It's disappointing how much potential is there, but never used. Especially when you consider the crazy awesome armor designs found in the Final Fantasy universe itself.

Another thing worth mentioning. Gear found in dungeons should always have some unique look to it. It's ridiculous how similar everyone looks until you get artifact gear. Sure all of the Black Mages look the same, but at least the Black Mages aren't mistaken for Conjurers.
