FFXIV Mogstation Crystarium Rebel

Are you a fan of the Leveilleur twins from Final Fantasy XIV? Thinking of doing a Saint’s Wake cosplay this year? Mogstation just released the latest Costume Set on their store: the Crystarium Rebel’s Attire! Originally a costume designed for Alisaie, these pieces feel pretty… common? Let’s find out if they are worth your money! Or better yet, you can remake the outfit yourself!

What’s Inside the Crystarium Rebel’s Attire Set?

FFXIV Mogstation Crystarium Rebel Dyed Look

Firstl off, each piece in the Crystarium Rebel’s Attire set costs $3 USD / £1.86 / 2.25 € / 330 円 (税込) each. However: most, if not all, of these pieces are available for free or as another Mogstation item. So you can definitely recreate the same look with older pieces, such as:

Is Alisaie’s Hairstyle in the Crystarium Rebel’s Attire Set?

Unfortunately, the Crystarium Rebel’s Attire doesn’t feature Alisaie’s unique hairstyle. Thankfully, you can still get Alisaie’s hairstyle via Modern Aesthetics – Sharlayan Rebellion (from the Brand-New Alisaie’s Attire set) on Mogstation for $15 USD / £8.63 / 10.50 € / 1,650 円 (税込).

So with Alisaie’s hairstyle (and her Brand-New Attire set too), your total cost is around $27 USD / £16.07 / 19.50 € / 2,970 円 (税込). Still, for just one hairstyle and five costume pieces… is it really worth the price tag?

What’s the Crystarium Rebel’s Attire Like In-Game?

For some positives about buying this set, you can wear some nice dyeable halftights that were previously non-dyeable. In addition, these are also significantly shorter… but you should test that yourself! However, keep in mind the halftights (unlike other pieces) only have one dye channel available.

Crystarium Rebel's Top Comparison with Crafted Top

So the Crystarium Rebel’s Top features two dye channels, different accessories, and nicer sleeves from the craftable Doublets you can get normally in-game. Additionally, the Crystarium Rebel doesn’t feature a belt bag nor the same front clasp as the crafted versions, and is not role-exclusive.

Comparing Belts between Crystarium Rebel's Top and Crafted Tops

Once again, if those tiny differences don’t matter to you… maybe skip the Crystarium Rebel Attire set. Keep in mind, the Chivalric and/or Astral Silk crafted pieces will likely get its secondary dye channel eventually. Additionally, the thighboots are the exact same model as the Angelic Thighboots version (which is also a Mogstation-exclusive).
