The armor sets have a cohesive aesthetic tying them together, but they seem to be intended to match with a specific tomestone weapon, and look nice (in my subjective opinion) when paired with it for a couple of them. For the other weapons or the sets that don't have an obvious pair, not so much. Fending matches the PLD sword and shield. (Maiming is just a recolor, slightly tilted towards the DRG spear.) Striking matches the MNK fists. (Scouting is just a recolor, but definitely not aimed towards NIN's new knives.) Aiming matches the DNC Twin Moons, though it's slightly darker and doesn't quite match as well as the previous two. (I really like the hat, which my Viera sadly cannot wear.  )Healing and Casting are the odd ones, outside of the recolors. Healing has the closest, but still not great, matches with WHM and AST, while Casting doesn't match any of their weapons. Overall, not great, but for PLD and MNK I quite like the end result, and I'd really like to use the Aiming hat in something else, but R.I.P. Viera.

Cabbit posted:The armor isn't great, no, but you also get that loving WAR murderaxe and the aforementioned gorgeous spear. Oh yeah, the Weapons are stright up awesome. It's the armor that feels like almost no effort was put into it. Feels very same-y, and doesn't really stand out. Also, WHY DOES THIS GAME LOVE EYE PATCHES SO MUCH? I'm SO tired of seeing the head gear be an eye patch. It's as bad as casters always getting robes.

He's absolutely going to be our In for 7.0 I am curious what he meant about homecoming, since I thought the whole Viera culture was "If you're a dude, GTFO until it's baby making season, and if you leave the territory at all you're not allowed back in." Though I might be confusing the latter with The First's Viera culture.

They're all deadly jungle protectors with two specific societal roles. Who if they don't like it can leave but not return to their culture that places a very huge importance on performing their duties protecting their jungles/forest/lands. They at minimum do still have the gender ratio on the First as well as some of the stuff around their traditional methods of child creation, as a recent side quest has revealed. It's not like we haven't had other very unique cultures that aren't the greatest, Ul'dah has horrific wealth disparity, Gridani and Limsa and Ishgard all have their problems, it is not an endorsement of a lifestyle to portray a unique culture. Edit: Or More relevantly, the Mi'qote tribal system is still canon lore for both Mooncats and Suncats and I would argue they're pretty equal to the Viera stuff that anyone might find bad.

It's not just pf being pf. 630 is the minimum ilvl you can queue for. Granted, you can go in with less with a full group, but it's not just being inflated by people and is set on the recommended minimum.

Traditional keepers of the moon form small communities comprised of a small number of families, lead by a mother-figure authority. Adult men gently caress off and become nomads because everyone else is sick of them.

Yeah I know, just realizing that I'm a bit far more behind than usual. At least I had like 3 Euso coins so I can upgrade 4 pieces of gear to 630 this week (... if I do Aglaia twice ugh). I'm guessing the tomestone piece order now is "whatever has crit as a priority" or looking up a BiS? Since I want a bit faster the ilevel than usual.

I was hoping it was the angle of the promo pictures I have quietly been of the opinion that casters have been getting the short end of the stick on cool gear for several expansions now. I can make cool glams for days for melee DPS and tanks that barely ever use more than one piece from any given set, all without forsaking the aesthetic of the job that glam is for. But for casters? Your choices are either wearing AF, looking crushingly generic with massive clipping issues, or looking like you walked out of a time machine from somewhere between 1980 to 2005. poo poo is kind of dire.

viera lore may as well not exist on the first. It "works" there because the entirety of the first is literally a theme park mmo world with six remaining zones, one of which is the ancient forest guarded by ancient protectors, and they interact with almost literally nothing else.

Yeah, the thing about viera lore is that it requires viera society to be remarkably static over a long period of time when there's no particular reason why it should be. (It reminds me a bit of Gerudo customs in Zelda.)
