Best armor usually looks the worse

Story of my game life lmao

Ive only played one game like that and idgaf dude I will literally make my guy look good and and just accept weaker stats like i have to be looing fine af otherwise no deal.

Oh god Darksouls flashbacks. Wearing any piece of the catarina armour without the full set is the epitomy of this

There are literally people within the monster hunter community who will refuse to wear armor if it looks ugly, even if it is the best armor in the world. They are called "Fashion Hunters", and quite frankly I hate them

I'm just curious as to how this situation arose. I NEED BACKSTORY!!!!!
