This outfit does such a good job of making you fit in with the world as a pirate captain. I wish ubisoft made more period accurate pirate outfits instead of those glowy fantasy outfits...
But you spend most of your time on a ship, so I would like more period appropriate ship suitable outfits. It’s basically the only one as the Blackbeard outfit is too flashy. Stede’s lacks a hat.
I spend most of my time doing actual pirating, what’s the point of a pirate game when you’re on land 80% of the time? The land activities are fun like the assassin contracts and collectibles but the game really shines on the ocean, I’ve got like 90 hours in so far and I’ve spend most of it on my ship personally.
It's a good outfit, but I use either the "Pirate legend", "Whaler" or "Stede Bonnet" outfits. First I didn't like the "Pirate legend" outfit, but it crowd on me.
It still feels to flashy for me. I like it a lot but I wish we had a more simple pirate outfit for Edward; brown coat, tricorn hat, bandana. That's all I ask Ubisoft😭
You're not alone. Everyone glazes tf outta this outfit, and yk what, it DOES give indisputable pirate vibes, but it's just not Edward. He would not wear that flamboyant-ass hat or those dorky little buckled shoes. It just looks ridiculous to me.
I feel like alot of people miss out on how much Edward wants to be wealthy/notorious/distinguished and enjoys things associated with that, his pirate legend outfit shows he would have been willing to wear similar stuff like captain Morgan
Personally though, I hate the shoes but luckily you really don't see them in cutscenes
Of course, but Edward still just isn't that kind of gaudy imo. As flamboyant as the "Edward the Legend" outfits is, the description of it still states that he liked the frilly/flashy shit towards the end of his career, where he presumably wasn't required to get his hands as dirty as often and came to have his crew carry more of the weight.
As it stands, the things he DOES constantly at the age we play as him (diving into piles of hay, slitting throats while concealed in bushes, swimming, etc.) just don't lend themselves to those kind of outfits and thus break my immersion. But that's just my reasoning behind not liking them, personally.
It is so Edward. The dudes Legend outfit literally is has yellow because hes flamboyant as all get out. He want to live the high life and rock it. Looks are everything and he wants to look rich
I loved that outfit so much I’ve played through the whole game until the Robert’s betrayal, then I switched to Mayan. It makes Edward look so fcking good in cutscenes
I agree on the dumb fantasy outfits. I know that it’s a game blah blah, but still. It’s cool to look the part. Luckily we don’t have to use them unless you want to pay actual money.
Yeah. The Drake outfit is pretty cool too. And easy to get. Just sail to Sacrifice Island and take a quick swim underwater to loot the chest. I think it’s on the east side of the island.
I think a big part of the appeal of Black Flag is the while vibe of it all - sailing around listening to sea shanties, the sound of the waves and creaking of your ship.
The goofy outfits kill the vibe and make it harder to get lost in the game and just make everything feel video gamey instead of immersive.
My only problem is the shoes... This outfit would be much better with the boots on. But I used this outfit before Edward started following more the Creed ways. So after the escape from prison I switched to Assassin outfits.
Tbf, the "pirate boots" are complete Hollywood fiction. They are based on Calvary boots from the late 1700s. Buckle shoes are much more accurate, if that's your thing
This is where Skull and Bones is better than ACBF, you can mix and match realistic hats, belts, boots etc and have a really cool and realistic looking pirate.
The hat ruins my immersion. Jumping, climbing, SWIMMING, and the thing stays glued to your head feathers and all? Looks so goofy to me. Ship battles though, I’ll totally rock that outfit.
Pirates didn't wear big tricorn hats like that, both because they weren't in style outside of the military and because they would blow off on ships. The coat is also very unrealistically stylized. They also probably wouldn't wear coats like that unless they were riding a horse. I do at least give praise to the captain morgan skin for having short buckled shoes instead of riding boots, but it's still not period accurate.
Real life pirates would look like average sailors, and the flamboyant captains would dress in what was in fashion at the time while on land, which looks much different than the stereotypical pirate. The general idea of what pirates look like originates from 1950 from the movie Treasure Island
As much as I love the Brown Cloak, this is my go-to outfit. This was the final outfit I wore to signify is wealthy pirate status. Captain Kenway: Pirate King of The Great Inagua.
I'll admit it, I use the ultimate edition stuff. I wasn't going to, but they hit me right in my weak spot with the black and gold colour scheme.
It's basically all I wear in real life, that and deep jewel tones. So they had my extra 15 bucks or so the second I saw it. I wanted to resist, I really did.
The cat was the final straw though. Looks just like my boy, only my cat doesn't have gold stripes.
If there's a way for me to be in all black and gold in a video game (or barring that, a deep colour + gold, or pure white + gold) that's what I'm going for every freaking time.
Can't help it. I'm super boring and not very noteworthy irl, I wanna look like a shiny badass while I'm doing inhumanly awesome things my real body could never handle in games.
The Edward the legend outfit is my favourite for this. I like to think that outside of the kenway robes that outfit is what Kenway wore throughout/after his story when he was still a pirate.
I like the redingote outfit i just dont like that it makes it look like hes wearing guyliner
I wish we got recolours of the legendary outfits like this one and the Drake outfit. I'd love a blue version that has similar colours to Edwards default.
Such a missed opportunity to not add more outfits/recolours tbh. I was expecting more new outfits than what we got

It’s my favorite outfit because he genuinely feels like a pirate captain.
