I’m pretty sure it’s been 3 or so years since I adjusted any of my outfits, but I know Aiki has been making adjustments ever since her transformation. My new Black Mage outfit is heavily garbed in a more recent set, the Courtly Lover’s, but specifically the Samurai variant. Meanwhile Aiki’s Paladin look takes on a few from the True Griffin set with a couple of other items like the gamblers gauntlets to finish it out.
She still continues to hold on tight to her shield as a memory to the first close friend she ever made while adventuring through Eorzea during Stormblood that ended up just simply poofing one day. Meanwhile I continue to use the branch-leaf staff that I have been using since Shadowbringers.
