!! ATTENTION !! 重要 !! ACHTUNG !!

Are you an FFXI player? Do you have cool armour? Are you able to take high-quality screenshots?

Message me please! I want to immortalize FFXI's wonderful outfit designs.

The extremely cool-looking Empyrean Armour for samurai in FFXI. I never played SAM but I believe this was either called the Kasuga Set or the Unkai Set.

The general trigger word for the lora is empyrealsam. (Yes, I accidentally called it empyreal rather than empyrean. My apologies.) The full ensemble is:

empyrealsam,
armor, breastplate, sode, kote, gloves, kusazuri, pants, puffy pants, pants tucked in, knee guards, suneate, armored boots, 
kabuto (helmet), menpoo, eye mask, chin guard, 
dark red armor, black clothes, gold trim,

Without headwear

no headgear, no mask,

Other

• Weight of ~0.8 is good, varies by checkpoint

• Since the lora is heavily trained on screenshots, you might wish to put 3d, realistic in the negatives

• The lora's quite stable without upscaling, though with full body shots I always recommend a face detailer

Since there are very few decent-quality screenshots of this armour, I was forced to do the following:

• Collect as many high-resolution-as-possible screenshots from the game as I could

• Upscaled the screens using RealESRGAN-4x

• Asked Sora and Nano Banana Pro to create "concept art" based on the screens

• Added a few pieces of (only very accurate!) fanart -- fidelity is the goal here

... resulting in about 20 training images. I set the repeats, epochs, dim, alpha a bit higher than usual to compensate, hence the lora is a bit bigger than I usually make. Otherwise I think it worked pretty well.

If you enjoyed this lora, please consider leaving a gen or two below!

Thanks!
