Hempen Camise and Pantalette’s Appearance to be Race Unlocked: Show Support

As the title suggests, Square Enix, if you are reading this, we are hoping that you consider making Hempen Camises and Hempen Pantalette’s appearances be shown on ALL RACES. Here’s a picture of what all Hempen appearances look like:

Here’s the same link again in case it doesn’t show on some of your devices: https://imgur.com/a/C7xy32R

Basically, think of a Miqote female to have the options to wear: Lalafell’s Hempen Appearance, Elezen’s, Hyur’s, AuRa’s, and so on.

Races have had years to have this particular appearance to themselves, I think it’s about time to “evolve” now.
This question seemed to have been answered in the past by you guys, but it was apparently lost in translation, and you did not understand the question, and thought we were talking about Underwear/Bras. Link is here:

You gave both Male and Females the opportunity to wear bunny outfits. So hopefully this is on your to-do list after seeing this thread. If anyone wants this to happen, please give this topic a +1 Like. This will only be addressed if this becomes popular enough. If you don’t want this to happen, please explain why you don’t.

Thanks. :)

tl;dr - We want hempen camise and pantalette’s physical appearance to be shown on all races. Not just one specific race.

I made a typo. I meant to say that we would like hempen outfit’s appearances to be available to all races, not genders. But I mean, if it’s doable, I don’t see why not. :)

I want to wear a tank top without being a Hyur Midlander.

I agree! They should make it accessible for all races, and their respective genders. :)

Would prefer to see the gender restrictions removed than the racial ones in this case, but ideally there'd be neither.

Why not both? That’s what this thread is for! :)

So basically splitting all the appearances into new clothing items for every race to wear? Yeah I don't see why not. Seems kinda odd this particular outfit has so many extreme variations depending on race. Would be cool.

I want MORE raced locked gear.

It adds to the uniqueness of your race to have options that only your people wear. Adds to the immersion as well to see some things that were made just for your people's body type and aesthetic. Kinda like how it's nice to have the WoL have their own custom made glam from Tataru.

Some race's best glams come from using race-locked options. As a Femroe I KEEP my starter gear arm covers through out many of my glam plates cause like a prefect glove it fits and compliments the body type so well.

I see where you’re coming from for sure. My only disagreement is your WoL analogy. As we are talking about simple glam, and giving everyone the opportunity to wear *one* outfit in the game that just so happens to be race locked to appearances. We are not talking about story here. If you want to talk story, then it shouldn’t make sense how there is no male viera or female hroth. If the developers see fit, it can magically happen. Just depends on how in demand it is.

Also, when it comes to race uniqueness, we all have our respective poses, emotes, animations, and so on. I personally feel no need to be concerned about a single outfit, but that’s just me. Everyone has different views about the topic. But ultimately, the community will decide. If the community wants male bunny outfits, we will eventually get them. If the community wants this, we will eventually get them. Of course, within reason. Just have to wait and see.

I would love for the hempen to be unlocked, and will always upvote when I see the suggestion :)

Sure, why not. Also add more racial/cultural-specific gear for more flavor.

Yes, please. I love the Miqo and Hyur versions, but I'm not the biggest fan of the Au Ra one... looks a bit too much like pajamas to me.

Someone asked this before at the Q&A but they didn't understand the question somehow.

But I think he said something like, the design is attached to the skin. Its why it looks different on each race.

Ether-way, throwing my vote in. I want that midlander hempen!

I have a fantasia addiction, and the miqo top is probably one of the things I miss most when I change away. If I could use that on the other races I'd be such a happy camper.

Share this topic around! If this gets enough attention, the devs will respond to it, and you won’t have to be stuck with pajamas. :) (I totally agree with you by the way. lol They do look like pajamas.)

Do you guys want my super cute and flattering exclusive Elezen female buzzcut hair option too? ...N-No?

Even has moderator responses.

this is an interesting conundrum because its not as simple as creating 7 more sets of 'hempen' and telling them to display hempen_look_highlander_id for highlander's hempen set, those meshes would need to be gone through and adapted to the different races and QAd to make sure they dont stretch wierd on anyone, but the fact that it is 2 items being expanded to 14 doesnt sound like a massive task and may be something they could slate for a qol patch (as opposed to the currently 1500ish head slot items that they currently are working on adapting for viera/hrothgar, which i salute the devs for taking on that passion project in their spare time to have a selection ready by shb)

actually thinking on it, the fact that the devs ARE going through a rather large number of items and adapting them en masse may actually lead to some new ideas and innovations to streamline the process going forward, and may be a blessing in diguise

Finally something everyone can agree on.

Meh. I feel like your race's inherent physical characteristics are enough uniqueness as it is. A lalafell is tiny, while a roe is huge. Things like "[X] race can wear [Y] shirt" don't sit right in my mind and have no appeal to me as far as uniqueness goes. I'd be more interested in what a particular player can do with a combination of items as being more of a hallmark of uniqueness. I'm all for no gender-locks and no race-locks.

I still want this even if they have to just make new things. I think the confusion came from the use of the word underwear where in 1.0 it was the game's underwear, but like belts they changed that. It also explains why some look like pjs.

We got a Roegadyn male, wants the Elezen female buzzcut folks! Would suit you. I support you.

I second that. I'm a highlander and those straps are ridiculous.

The point is that they seemed to have misunderstood the question in the past. This thread is to help them actually *understand* what it is we want.

Judging by this link though: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...pen-set-styles

I can safely say that if this topic gets attention, with the CORRECT translation, it’s very likely we will get it.

I don't want this. I realize developer time is important. This is not important. I don't always get what I want in life. I have low expectations. Try it.

The devs have said in the past they prefer one big thread to many small ones. So in this case, no, more exposure doesn't help :p

The mod's just got tired of combining threads here, because its a constant struggle. English forums need 15 topics per subject.

I am commander Heiral, and I approve of this post!

Joking aside, really good idea!

I will quote myself. lol

- We have this Hyur hempen Camise, perfect for you.
- It's cute, but I already have one... Ohhhhh! Look at that hempen camise, I want that! How much? - Say the Hyur looking at Au'ra hempen.
- YOU CANT HAVE THAT! LOOK AT YOURSELF! DO YOU HAVE SCALES? DO YOU EVEN HAVE A TAIL????? LOOK AT THE CAMISE, IT'S NOT FIT YOU! GET OUT OF MY STORE.

Did you thing this is a weird story? Well, it's like I feel for hempen set being race/gender locked.

Yeah, but then you have cultural appropriation. People slammed the devs when they added the native style glamour gear. And any cultural garb technically fits anyone.

I was unaware of this. Regardless, I don’t think the two are related like that. They are both just glam at the end of the day.

Cultural appropriation in a hempem set? :v

You have to check the importance of the "cultural cloth" first. I remember someone post here in forums his/her discontentment about the New World set because the importante of the culture (something about the mightiest warriors only can use it), but we are talking about extreme casual online game cloth here.

And there is a tom of "cultural cloths" there is no problem at all anyone to use, as Japanese yukata for example, or a Chinese dress.

Keep spreading this topic around guys! We can’t quit until Yoshida responds! :) Also, how many up votes does it take for questions to be forwarded to Yoshida? I’m guessing like around 70?

I get the feeling that our community reps can't just forward things to the devs in Japan unsolicited even if they get hundreds of likes. It seems more like they're forum moderators that also have to make strictly crafted social media posts, and not just for FFXIV either.
