If I played a healer I think I'd be pretty bummed feeling like all my gear was always just "caster gear but colored white."
There's plenty of stuff that looks good in white, I currently have the sweater on SCH, thav bustier on AST, and Republican chest piece on WHM. The Republican gear's model is even healer exclusive.

Very disappointed in the new gear previewed for this patch, tome gear looks real uninspired and bland and the other set showed earlier is just a dull recolor of an old set. :(

I'm very curious to see how the tank gear looks in black. Because I'm a dark knight and everything has to be black.

Missing the point. Yes, white gear can look good, but they don't want just white caster gear to be the default style each time for healers.

Found Shire gear to be underwhelming, waiting to pass judgment till I see the 4.4 stuff in game. As is, it seems to be another take on Ironworks, might have some cool visor effects or take well to dyes.

no no you got it all wrong, dark knight just needs to wear DARK colours, not necessarily black, other classes with the color in their names needs to of course dye their gear accordingly or risk possible ban

There's at least a powerful implication that the reissue of the 3.5 dungeon set is going to be dyeable this time, which tbh I am extremely here for.

I never really cared much for that set, even less nowadays after seeing it worn by majority of generic NPCs throughout stormblood. Plus the reuse of older sets "but now dyeable, in dungeons now!" just feels lazy when they could have just gone back and made the old stuff dyeable instead.

Have there been any more details announced about the anniversary Eternal Bond ceremony coming in the next patch? Me and my boyfriend are huge romantic nerds and loved the little trek across Eorzea, so it'd be kind of a letdown if it was just the ceremony part.

Might feel that way, but art is one of the most expensive parts of development. It's not laziness as much as time management.

Yep. There's enough good armor in the game already for me to not care that much about the "big" patches reusing armor sets for dungeons. We're already getting tome armor and Alphascape armor in the same patch, which is a hilarious amount of invested development time.

I'd be more fine with this if it wasn't that the new tome armor just looks like ironworks and skalla gear had a weird baby. And since I don't savage raid currently means what new gear I'll get my hands on is the undyeable alphascape gear.

I just want some new glamour fun that is actual armor and not another bikini or the same sweater everyone uses damnit! :argh:

The new armor is literally Ironworks 2.0 (most likely as developed by Nero, given the coloring). You can see the Ironworks logo on the healer's shoulder or something, I believe.

Those tomestone caster clothes sorta remind me of one of the things I wore around level ~20-30 on my Summoner/Scholar while leveling.

edit: This one level 50 thing my Summoner is currently using is probably the best looking caster robe I've seen so far.

Yeah when casual players are finding casual content too difficult that most certainly is the case. Pagos isnt hard to understand. Its meant to be a slog and if you cant stomach it then you dont deserve the reward, simple as that. it literally only takes 1 lockout a day for a couple of weeks to get the weapon. Its really not that difficult.

That's like saying casters always get dark healer gear though, it is about the color rather than the gear model.

lol It's fun seeing people going through the plot for the first time.

I like all of the plot points that happen in the 2.X series but man does it move at a glacier's pace. They got so much better at patch story pacing after HW. So even if you have a difficult time getting through it, stick with it, because Heavensward is absolutely amazing.

I have seen videos/listened to the music of the final boss fights for both heavensward and stormblood, as well as a bunch of the raid bosses. There is no way in hell I am stopping before getting to experience those fights for myself. Doing Alexander and managing all of his mechanics while Rise blasts in the background must be a magical experience.

Also I'm glad there are other dudes in this thread playing au ra chicks because they are both the best and the cutest race.
