Simply speaking, because they came later - the people who made these started with less tools and less experience when they made the D Grade, then progressed onto more detailed C Grade and later B and A Grade robes for the mystics - only THEN did they start adding the more detailed robe textures for the fighters.
And yes, it's quite true that the reverse holds true: On a whole, heavy and light look quite nice on the mystic (check DC light on orc mystic).
Personally, I think looking at some robes like Blue Wolf and Dark Crystal, the mystics still look quite fine. ^^
Male human mystics look good in quite a few robes as well - although not in light or heavy, haha! Well, the textures are high quality... but they're not exactly appealing regardless. Sort of like a very well seasoned mud pie.

Visually, I think orc mystics (both genders) and human female mystics have pretty much got it good - they can look good as just about every class, and there are indeed few things hotter than DC robes/NM robes on human mystics. ^^
Human male mystics only look good in a few robes IMO.
Dark crystal being my absolute favorite, then avadon, and demon, and zubei isn't half bad. Mithril isn't as bad as it was (when it was a skirt) though robe of seal/sage's rags are god awful, karmian is still a dress as is doom.

I can't wait till I get my male Archmage in his Evening Gown.

fairly good question...maybe cause casting doesn't take as much physical execution as malee battling, so they got short and fat....
I am not short and fat *cries*
I really love Majestic Robes. They are really beautiful. And although arcana is a very pretty design, I wish the skirt was just a little bit longer; give the healer a little sophistication for gawd's sake!!!!!
Not sure why as you move up in grades the skirts get shorter and shorter... hm.... do you think this game's designs favor men? Hmmmmmm..................
I guess everybody has a different tastes.
I like my female human mystic by order of preference in NM, Majestic, DC and Tallum robes for A-grade. But NM for a Bishop... apart for solo on undead which is just what I hate in Lineage 2.
Otherwise I like Karmian robe, Zubei and BW robes are nice too.
I don't like Demon robe at all, Avadon and Divine robes are acceptable.
That's for the robes. Oh and Apella robe is nice too but... useless.
Light armours, I don't know the difference with heavy sets because the Official Lineage II NA Website displays demon robe for theca, etc.
But... I really don't like Draconic. ****!
On the other hand I really love IC. I like Heavy Majestic, DC and Doom. I don't like Heavy BW. I didn't pay attention to the rest.

I feel your pain. My spellsinger would love to one day be able to put on something that wasn't a mini-miniskirt.

I can hear a Kr dev right now saying: "One MICRO-mini Miniskirt coming up!"
Idiotically enough, the really really short ones involve least pantyflashes out of all of them. o.O
It's an atrocity!!!
Anyways, orc shaman females have the nicest bodies and most textures are good, even sages rags.. the new DC light armor :drooooool: I don't care if it's green with those shapes! Human fighter female is a good 2nd, queue draconic armor ^^
