Not sure if anyone has ever said this before, but did anyone else notice that 4 of 6 pieces the gear introduced in the last two mini expansions are taken directly from character models from Final Fantasy III DS? Nuevo coselete and Champion's Galea are from the Knight class. Royal redingote seems to be a modified combination of Sage and Evoker body pieces. And Selenian Cap is obviously taken right from the Magus class. Just a little food for thought.
Its kind of cool that they are paying homage to past designs from other games, but there has been an overall lack of originality in model designs over the last few years. The fact that they add weapons and armor with great stats on boring models speaks volumes of this. Koggelmandr is the most recent victim of this.
And and for everyone commenting on Square making their designs flashy. I have to disagree. To add some meat to that statement, I challange anyone that has played Final Fantasy: Charlie's Angels Edition (aka FFX2) to look through that game's strategy guide or look up YRP's job class models online and tell me that wasn't the epitome of Square's flashiness and originality. Of course, FFX2 suffered from some reused models and ideas (like various swords taken straight from FFX and Yuna having Tidus' fighting stance on her Warrior class) but that is almost to be expected considering the game is direct sequel.
With all that on the table, please /discuss.

has anyone noticed the 1st frame? is it a weapon reward? possibly from the shantoto mission OR WotG missions... i really doubt youll get a weapon from both... or could be from another [new Wotg] endgame event stuff @.@
