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

[Duskane]

Id be up for more racial lock gear that actually represents the race in some way,
But these hempen sets are just so basic like "some" racial hair styles should have been unlocked from get go.

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.

People also laughed at the individuals who got so uptight about it.

Still though. Funny that this argument didn't show up with the release of Stormblood and the influx of Asian-style clothing...



I support unlocking the hempen sets. I'd love for my Hyur alt to wear the Miqo'te hempen shirt paired with a shirt for a cute dress look (e.g., Miqo'te hempen top + Eastern Beauty's skirt makes for a really cute dress).

Oh I agree, it is funny. Same with the noble attire from ishgard, and the church garb.


If they are going to unlock racial gear, I'd prefer they add new racial sets as well. Give us a new set of RSE, like, a more advanced version or the starting clothes or a different take on them.

If it's who I'm thinking of, then that person is in the same category as that Shark Fin Soup guy as far as I'm concerned.

And yeah, I don't see any reason why the hempen styles (or certain hairstyles for that matter) should remain race locked. If they really want more things race locked, then add more racial based gear to please that crowd. But then again, I'm the guy who wants the Hyur thighboots/skirt/gloves for his catgirl.

I typically support exclusive sets of gear, even though it pains me sometimes (can't even begin tell you how badly I want my Midlander to be able to wear Miqo'te RSE). Admittedly I haven't had much of an issue with the hempen sets because the Midlander one is my favorite out of all of them. However, my support for exclusivity rallies behind keeping an identity intact such as job/gender/race, along with diversity within the game.

When it comes to hempen sets though there isn't a whole lot to keep intact, and the sets themselves are very diverse as is for the most part. It's just a hempen set. It just might snow in June this year folks because I actually support this unlock.

That’s the spirit :P

[Canadane]

No thanks, I'd like to keep RSE, even if it's not technically RSE.
I'm in support of more RSE, not less!

Geez, a lot of people are against the Hempen Appearance being accessible to all races. Makes me wonder how those old threads got so many up votes. Guess times have changed?

Actually, it just seems like the players who did support it just don’t post anymore. That’s a shame.

That thread got responses from a community rep and was linked to on reddit, that's how it got that many upvotes.
