What about the armor of the imperials legionaries in the cinematics trailers ?

MaisonNaevius

In the first cinematics trailers of ESO, we see imperial legionaries with two different types of armor : medium and heavy. Armors that use the codes of imperial armor that we have in ESO.
The heavy armor of the cutscene resembles that of skin 4 of the imperial heavy armor, but there are differences. Especially since the imperial style skin 4 is more like a "reproduction of the heavy armor of legionary for children".

The imperial style seems more and more used by mercenaries or civilians. The legionaries seem to no longer adopt this armor recently (to the detriment of the Order of the Hours style which is very medieval Germanic and Gallic / maybe they will use the Second Legion style to save the honor ?).

So will we have the armor of the cinematics trailers, in the form of a disguise perhaps, for the real legionaries well defined in game for the future extensions ?

Im still waiting on the gold coast guards imperial armor no motif at all for it looks like the motif used to make a few parts of the imperial costumes in crown store but several years later still no motif

Imperials get no live in this game, its a shame. They are always portrayed as the bad guys except in a few instances. And the dev team jacks up the aesthetics of their motifs in my opinion.

Really wish there had been an Imperial faction. I'd be a Legionairre in a heartbeat.

The Gold Coast guards ? Those of Anvil or Kvatch ?
Anvil guards use Abah's Watch style. Those of Kvatch have the imperial style + Trousers and Tails (stolen clothing).

The problem of an "Empire" faction would be as follows:
- Unbalance of possessions in Cyrodiil.
- Context of the Legion in 2E 582 (date of the PvP zone) where many are deserters or conspirators.

A year on the imperial theme will allow us to know more.
Seeing how the chapters are written, I have very little illusion for the counts of the main city. There will most likely be treason or even a conspiracy.
Afterwards, everything is only a question of point of view.



The imperial style, as I say above, is more and more used by mercenaries or civilians.
Recently, the Imperial Legion (Cygnus and Topal Legionaries Academy) used the Order of Hours style.
I imagine that the style Second Legion (which for me, respects the Roman imagery) will be adopted in the future (pity, exclude me the style of the Order of the Hours).

But to properly define armor specific to the Imperial Legion, I think the cinematic trailer armor would be perfect.
The Legion is not the only army in Cyrodiil. But it is the military institution of the Empire. And this institution has a very particular style (Roman but medieval - I always thought that if the Roman Empire still existed, Bethesda would be its official designer).
With the progress of the latest styles, I think it is time that we have the cinematic armor that will be exclusive to the next Legions we meet.
(That said, I like the idea of ​​regional armor with Shields of Senchal).

There will necessarily be the "ancestral imperial" style in the future ... This will allow us to have the skin / tier 5 weapons. Unless they are redesigned.
