No, that's the field uniform of a Flame Lieutenant/Captain. All the other stuff on the Grand Company store is just for mechanics/gameplay, not roleplay. But like I said in the OP, only the Private and Sergeant outfit is available. I never wore the pot helm, of course, because Helmets Are Hardly Heroic. Though arguing in favour for it, even if it sucks to look at, you wear it. This is the military etc. etc.
This is what you want to look at. Your character should be wearing the Sergeant outfit, obviously [edit: ah, 'cept he's not a regular anymore, gotcha]. I've milked the hell out of cutscenes and kept an astute eye on NPCs, and this is basically SE's framework.
I'll do one for the Maelstrom, since people are after it! Nice posts here, didn't expect it to hit 3 pages so quicklyÂ
EDIT WITH REPLY:
Ok, regarding 'it goes boring and alone' roleplaying a regular, that's exactly why I sought out other like-minded roleplayers and formed YATAG, initially as an LS. I went around doing my thing, dressed up like an NPC or whatever (in the city, the only one NOT wearing an officer coat, heh), got some attention, and explained ma gig. I was able to find a good number of folks interested in this sort of roleplay and the rest, they say, is history.
