Glamour & Other Miscellany in the World of Final Fantasy XIV
Last—but certainly not least—of the initial round of Shadowbringers dungeon sets, the Forgiven’s Maiming gear is perhaps my favorite of the Demon reskins from Mt. Gulg.

For much of FFXIV‘s history, sets for casters and healers have followed a predictable pattern, sharing models more often than not and colors almost set in stone: dark (usually black) for casters and some shade of white for healers.

Just in case the World of Darkness gear re-colors from Stormblood weren’t enough for your tastes, the final leveling dungeon of Shadowbringers offers another round of them! Each of the Forgiven sets from the dungeon re-uses the sets with a new color scheme (and a subtly different dyeing patterns), and the Forgiven’s Garb of Aiming […]
