thank yew.... it was a neat challenge blending the details of the eden shiva + oracle of darkness + ryne/gaia designs in a way that was less on-the-nose as the official pandora design ^_^
oh i very much was wishing for a re-contextualized ffxiv version of ultimecia's design for eden ultimate but we didn't get that... so this was me making one up to compensate lol
just remembered a thing that gagged me too. i finished this design december 7th - and then the clouddark gear got revealed on the 12th and the caster gear ended up looking hilariously close to it with the wing placements lmao
