Undyeable gear... what?

AF not being dyable makes perfect sense. Turning WHM armor black, BLM armor white, etc.. This really screws with the the iconic look of the job and honestly would cause a lot of bitching from a specific crowd of people - so let's not go down that road. Things like greens, pinks, and darklight though? I haven't the foggiest why that isn't dyable.. I'm all for everything that isn't AF being dyable really.

I disagree. AF is iconic. An iconic look shouldn't be changed simply because you want to look special and unique.

Vivi wore blue, so? Nothing to say a later tier of BLM AF won't look like Vivi's. Doesn't merit being able to dye BLM AF WHITE or something else. (Not to mention IX was a bit of an oddball title in this regard, a lot of roles had a different color there, it doesn't change how they look in virtually every other entry though.) Besides I just said all other gear besides AF should be dyable, are you really complaining about your FF job gear being a traditional color scheme?

Where did I complain? I was merely tearing down a ridiculous argument that a certain color is "traditional" when there are multiple instances of it being different in the past. I also added another picture to that post for Monk just to drive that point further. I could keep adding more, like purple dragoons from 11 or how warriors used to be more of a bright red. Did I mention Bards?

Edit:
Also, it's more non-traditional for a black mage to not be blue.
