Just watched a video from IGN about everything they know about Destiny and the way they talked it made it sound like the classes had class-specific gear and you were forced into looking like your class, so bounty hunters have the hoods/cloaks, Titans all look like they are wearing space armor (like Spartans), Warlocks look like they are wearing trenchcoats, etc.
Please tell me this isn't true, that your character can look how you want regardless of class, I really like the hood/cloak look ever since seeing the first trailer and don't want to be forced into playing a bounty hunter when I really want to play a warlock just to be able to look how I want.

Like many have already said, the armor will be locked to each class, for various reasons. I think its important to keep in mind that pieces may fall under general themes; these themes would be available for all classes. For example a "Moon bone Hunter set" may be available, while a stylistically similar "Moon bone Warlock set" is available as well. So specfic pieces available across classes, no. Pieces which are similar across classes, yes.
