As a Miqo'te, I find myself unsatisfied with armor that involves a cape. And yet, as a big fan of FFXII and Gabranth - and also wanting to show off the new Law's Order gear that was styled in his image, I had to find an alternative.
Thankfully, the Adamantite Armor of Maiming exists, it is capeless, and with a bit of dye, it works wonderfully with the rest of the set.
Now I can stride around, being just as intimidating as Gabranth. Until I need to take the helm off for some ear wiggles.
