It's also bloody difficult to obtain, but I put this on a long time ago. As was mentioned before, this is for TP gain, or more specifically used for DoT. The Kirin's Osode, or Haubergeon (HQ, NQ) are used for Weapon Skills.
ok Kirin's Osa is sexy for WSs I mean who wouldn't want STR and Dex+10 each for Blade: Jins but this thing is blow your load Better then a Scorpion harness! :D I want so badly I would trade an Osa for one of these bad boys would be so awsome ^^ <3 <3 <3
Everyone mentioned everything nearly already, but from what I hear, with everyones' experience, the Koga Chainmail seems to drop more often than most AFv2's in Dynamis-Beaudedine. I hope so, I want it :)
Yeah as soon i get to NIN 75 i wanna own this 1 and the other parts too.
About the history stuff:
Yeah most of the early shinobi where normal ppl that where poor like hell and hired for killing someone. In the later centuries of the shogun empire, NIN where used by the shogun to sneak into enemy bases gathering informations, doing terroracts and sometimes killing comanding officers there to slice down the moral of enemy troops. The outfit varies from slightly normal clothes till red or blue parade outfits like the samurais had at shogun time. For night raids to normaly weared black, like the normal NIN AF. So they where like shadows in the night...Shinobi, shadowwarriors.
Everyone who is talking about the looks being cuz of places, ie. red-woods black-night white-snow, you're thinking of Samurai, and bandits, who actually did do that. Ninja's were (like the one guy said) just poor people who lost their jobs, killed someone with a sword, took their money and ran :P
but mostly bandits would disguise themselves in THE randomest ways possible to get to the goal. sometimes a samurai uniform for a region would be red, so they would wear red in that region so that they could go anywhere
and so on
about the gear itself, DAMN! nice :P, i wish MNK coulduse it lol, oh well our AFv2 looks cooler!! jk lol
Geez people. Yes, it's read. I suppose by that level a ninja wouldn't need to worry about blending in to avoid being noticed. Aside from that, the stats on it are all combat-based, no defensive ones. So it's not really sneaking-around armor.
Actually, I think that a NIN would blend in perfect with his surroundings-especially at that leve, because by that level, that NIN could flip out and kill so many people, so fast, and with such precision that everything arround that NIN would be blood red with a few spurts of yellow organ juice scattered about giving sed NIN perfect camouflage :D
Well, honestly, I think they made the NIN AF2 Red because back on FF1 for NES, they made the NINs wear red, because if they wore black, you really wouldn't be able to see them in the background, which was black. in the PS1 remake they changed the NIN gear to green.
lol in real life ninjas didnt only wear black armor. it depend on the environment. white for snow. black for night time. i would think red would be for like the forest where the tree barks are mostly red or brown.
Actually if you look at history you're all really wrong. Most ninja were poor farmers before they were shinobi. Therefore most ninja looked like totally common villagers giving them the best disguise ever for infiltrating large cities like Edo. I can't ever imagine ninja wearing anything flashy like shozoku or anything like this in reality...its just not practical. Shinobi succeded in their goals because they were good at what they did, and because they looked like everyone else. If a ninja were to wear anything flashy in an assassination, it would probably be a female to seduce her target into sleeping with her. Then she would strike usually with poison. So in conclusion the only flashy dressing shinobi or pajama wearing ones were female getting stupid horny statesmen to jump in the sack with them.
I saw a NIN last night on my server wearing this O_O had to give a /salute /bow
so awsome.
edit: and oh yeah I don't think the ninja wearing this gives a flying F if he stands out in this. When I get this armour I'm not gonna be a sneaky ninja assasin hidding in the corner... I'm gonna be the ninja jumping through your skylight spamming you with shurikin flippin' out and killing stuff^^
I saw a 75 NIN wearing this and nearly wet myself before I even knew what the heck it was - it was simply gorgeous. Just one problem:
Why in the world would a NIN, the master of sneaking, escaping, silent killing, and spying irl wear something that looks freaking luminescent? It's like the Redcoats who "snuck" around at night wearing uniforms that could be seen a mile away by anyone.
Oh well, can't complain. A NIN shouldn't be standing there taking hits with Utsusemi like a fancyfied punching bag either, so SE doesn't exactly have the whole concept down :P
Seriously though... bad *** armor and the best stats I have seen practically on anything.
Maybe they didn't want to stick to the concept? I personally think they just wanted to recreate ninja in their own way for this game, they don't have to stick by the rules.
m a lvl 70NIN/WAR on Ifrit, i need to know how this can be optained asap~althou i need to get to 75 still to go after it, which should be in another 2-3weeks of straight lvlin. post only if you know for certain plz.thx
You gotta go to Dynamis - Beaucedine and it drops off mobs in there......i think there is also the big long proces of having to have a LVL90+ crafter then make them for you but that may just be the weapons lol but i know to actually "get" the AF2 ya gotta go to Dynamis
Usually when you see pics of people in full relic armor, it is just people that switch the files around so that their armor model appears as the relic one. The same type of thing where some people choose to change their moogle in the mog house to something else (like the shadow lord).
it is dynamis such as the paladin's valor surcoat and the dark knight's abyss cuirass. i believe this is dropped from mobs in dynamis-jeuno but i'm not positive. either way this is sweet. there is also koga head, feet, legs, and hands.
