If you play the game to get gear just cause it looks cool,
you probably suck.

Fuck that, I always look good while kicking ass.

For most people getting the best gear in the game is anything but fun. Some people would rather play FFXI like it's a game. Crazy stuff I know. That said I hate these new armor designs. Looks like something from WoW.

I did some .dat mining of my own. got some pictures of the new stuff on mithra. as well as the model lists for the new armor on mithra if people want.

Congratulations, I've never seen someone contradict themselves so much in such a short post and still be serious about it.

Agreed on the melee spiky shoulder pads and Xbox-sized tank helms. Floppy steepled hat for mages is total FF/JRPG though.

Taru Look pretty sweet in the new gear.

**Kiaru** · 2009-10-30 02:03

It comes naturally to us.

New aprons? Did anyone notice this before now?

**Silenka** · 2009-10-30 02:14

Yeah and I made a crack about how SE is beginning to update the graphics starting with aprons lol

**Ophannus** · 2009-10-30 02:15

Woulda been cool to see a Blue version of those armors for my drg :/

**Ropeydonkey** · 2009-10-30 03:27

I think the obvious Mage/Melee/Tank sets rule out lolFFXIBlitzball etc - lets be honest its almost certainly new drops from a new endgame event probably limbus/dyna style set in a new WOTG area and/or Walk of Echoes etc.

And as for people bitching about the way the armour looks:

The mage armour is about the best looking gear ive seen in FFXI.
The Tank armour minus the spikes is nice imo, as is the melee.

I reckon it is in fact 3 sets of each, with HQ/NQ versions. With any luck, you can pick the colour AND style (of the 'NQ') and then upgrade. This may mean nobody needs to have the crazy spikes unless they really want to.

I don't know if this has been said yet but I'm not digging the Hannibal Lecter face mask. That shit's just freaky.

**Kaylia** · 2009-10-30 03:44

I hope it will be npc gear for some retarded events for the lulz, but if it's real and players can equip, that's pretty cool.

**Tsukino** · 2009-10-30 03:56

I've seen a lot of people throwing around the idea of this being a Walk of Echoes endgame event, but we haven't even made it to Zvahl yet and the next update is for nation quests not even the main missions. Hell we haven't even had any quests or missions in Xarcabard yet, it was just added with no content but Campaign battles.

It may or may not be an endgame-level event or quest series, but I'm almost certain we're not getting access to the Walk of Echoes and whatever Limbus/Dynamis/Salvage/etc. style system it might hold.

yup yup, i posted them yesterday.. but i wasnt positive that they were new, cos they don't look particularly different to begin with

DAKPluto · 2009-10-30 06:51

It almost seems like "Relic armor" just as the Relic weapons change each stage.

Exactly, this isn't Walk of echos gear in the slightest bit, we probably won't get Walk of echos till late 2010 or June 2010 at the earliest. This is the new gear involving those pot looking things we seen on the teasers SE gave us or some kind of MMM armor or blue weapons.
I hope to god it isn't the fort blitzball wannabee soccer field, Legion of Doom road warriors event that people seen in the .DATs lol.

I'm going to guess that Walk of echoes is accessed in Castle Z. Baileys, which is not even out yet.
-I expect an SCNM with 8+ NMs in there
-A splitting heirs type OPs when xarcabard and glacier are not under beastman control.
-A mission battlefield NM in the castle Z. Keep.
-Recall-Xarcabard to be by the Xarcabard castle, without a chocobo lady.
-The walk of echos being inside Castle Z. Baileys.

We got a long way to walk of echos, that isn't walk of echos gear. You can probably pick the color of your armor like you would pick the color of your linkshell. The 3 armor sets probably have 3 different stats and 150 different damn colors with the same stats on them.

**hebi** · 2009-10-30 10:25

I just woke up from a weird dream I had where it turned out to be some manticore in Valkurm you fought with 18 people and the armors had like +275 attack and +30CHR and ridiculous shiz and the quest was called "Come to Custom"

:C I totally called it!

on a serious (less fucked up dream) note I wonder if it's like the fey weapons but in stages. You buy the most simple looking set and trade/fight, get augments, can do it once a week and keep trading the same set to add more augments to the same peices and each time they grow in their looks/stats. Eventually if the augments aren't shit you get a months worth of work on an awesome custom(or random) augmented armor set.

Mmmmm, i'm guessing this armor is for PCs =)

Or, its a Final Fantasy Soccer Team no one will care about and we'll all cry ourselves to sleep at night.

Forgive me for being ignorant, but what is the source of the top image? orz
