I am really hoping this is real. I deleted my first character when I left the game for a little while not thinking I was coming back and losing that still stings. I rushed through my first time through to get the outfit/hairstyle/weapons. If this is real, I'm SO BUYING THESE!

[Zoya]

Well...step forward, japanese speakers! The uneducated mob requires your aid in this time of need!

 

Personally, I'm not getting my hopes up just yet, but if it truly is real, I'll probably end up buying it for the hair. Again. I'm an idiot like that >.>

[Cliodhna Eoghan]

Basically says it will be adding the item sets (male as one and female as the other) as well as each of the weapons as a separate item minus weapons that did not exist at the time. translation; "so please no dark knight, machinist, ninja, and astrologin".

[Seriphyn]

Urgh, and I thought it was the end of that stupid lorebreaking trenchcoat.

[Warren Castille]

How is a coat lorebreaking...?

[Unnamed Mercenary]

How is a coat lorebreaking...?

 

Especially for that Warrior of Light person. I mean, they even met Lightning and obtained the outfits by picking up boxes of them!

 

It's no more lore-breaking than any of the glamour gear to me. . At least the FXIII doesn't propagate Minfillia push-up cleavage.

[Aaron]

Can't be any more lorebreaking than the Cloud outfit.

[Seriphyn]

Never mind, I forgot the Snow Coat is from a science fiction sort of universe brimming with technology, and will therefore fit perfectly into FFXIV's setting. :roll:

[Dravus]

It's pretty easy to just write off unusual looking attire as being from beyond Eorzea's borders. Hydaelyn is a massive place and Eorzea is but a small part of it after all.

 

I'm pretty glad that they're adding the event gear to the store though. It'll help prevent the frequent request threads popping up on the official site and it's a sweet deal for those who happened to miss the event itself.

 

I'll have to take another look at the weapon selection since some of it may actually be pretty useful for Garlean characters and Magitek users.

yeah man, check out all the high tech shit on that coat, it's got ZIPPERS and BUTTONS, so science fiction

[Oroban]

Definitely looks like it belongs in a world with giant, sword wielding robots. Or maybe flying suits of robotic armor that shoot lasers. Definitely not in a plain ol fantasy world like FFXIV.

[Valence]

Can't look more scify than ironworks 120 gear... Which I absolutely love for my WhM on a pure OOC level.

 

Because well, when i'm not RPing, considering that 80% or more of the people you see wear immersion breaking shit anyway (FFXIII stuff is clearly not the most immersion breaking stuff there is, and at least it's not full of cleavage/thigh revealing stuff, looking at you minfillia/yda).

 

If I want to RP in an immersive setup, I shut myself off inside my little bubble with RP friendlies and use the equipment accordingly...

Actually, yes, the boots in particular have a contemporary construction to them. If you can find me FFXIV gear that also looks pulled straight from a 2015 catalogue...

We've got an entire tier of raid gear that is literally power armor, I think combat boots with laces won't kill you

[Aaron]

Never knew laces could kill a person's immersion.

 

This has gotten ridiculous.

... you mean like this?

 

 

[TheLastCandle]

Meh, it looks a bit tacky and the zippers are just a smidge out of place for Eorzean attire, IMO, but I don't see anything hugely jarring about it.

 

Remember when the event first came around and everybody had Lightning or Snow hair? Wonder if we'll see that again when they're put on the cash shop. I kinda miss the absurdity of walking into a room and seeing the same hairstyle on every female. Happened to me a few times back then.

[Kellach Woods]

I'm more ticked about Cloud's Advent Children outfit being released with the fucking scabbards.

 

NO ONE CAN EQUIP 6 SWORDS AT THE SAME TIME IN GAME, SQUARE.

[Caspar]

It's fashionable wear from ancient Allag. The advanced textiles and strange metal fastening teeth are surely the relics of lost technology. 

 

It is advanced on an altogether different level than the steam power and mesh armor from Rowena's in Idyllshire, the high tech carbonweave and aetheric machinery of Ironworks gear, or the gadgets and valves of the sky pirates.

[Oli!]

The heavy crafting / gathering boots (I forgot the exact item name but they're pretty low-level) are work boots that look almost identical to these and the Cloud Strife boots.

 

Also, the 60 MNK trenchcoat thing is pretty much pulled from a 2015 catalog.

[Capheira]

I like that trenchcoats and combat boots ruin people's immurshunz but bunny ears and succubus horns don't.

[Larson]

I honestly think we need more banana hammock armor than trench coats.

[Kellach Woods]

This man speaks my language.

[Lady Whiteraven]

I have been using this coat as part of Ben's rp look since the original event. This is the first time I have ever heard it referred to as lorebreaking :dazed:

 

[Desu Nee]

I'm not gonna jump the bandwagon directly, and just say that no one complained when a FFXI character suddenly broke into FFXIV Universe and stayed there. Actually, that makes me curious if FFXIV is a distant "future" of FFXI, and your character is the same as the FXI char.

 

 

Digressing, I dislike the Snow Coat and specially the lightning hair, but there is more ridiculous stuff in here, really.
