Armors look great but how about robe designs?  As a main character I prefer to play a squishy glass cannon type character wearing a robe and slinging fireballs.

 

Will we be seeing any robe designs?

We have seen some cheap/beginner robes/clothes: from update 61:

and from the gdc presentation:

Thanks, I dont remember seeing the 2nd image!

Robes do usually get treated pretty lamely. At best, you end up with maybe 20 extremely simplistic variants throughout the whole game.

 

Or, the ones that ARE distinct go so over-the-top 1,000% different from any others that it becomes ridiculous. "This one has 0 cloth in it, and is instead made entirely out of a xaurip skeleton and shards of green crystal! 8D!" Ummm... maybe those things could be worked into an actual robe design, instead of weird, drapey bone-crystal "armor" that isn't really armor, somehow?

 

yah that's usually the way it goes
