Personally, I think it's tacky and low-brow -- but it's not the best stat-wise, nor is there a glut of it in the game (yet). But still, the closer this game gets to TERA/AION in overall female gear design, the more vocal I'll be in opposing it.
Final Fantasy didn't become an industry leading and iconic RPG series by using cheap, pedestrian-level, sexploitation as a marketing tactic, and they shouldn't start now.
New coliseum gear too lewd

Could not care less...
They're not even real characters/people... -

They should just make every character naked. I mean, they're not even real people anyway.

This is worse than actually seeing a woman walk into victorias secret demanding the same thing.
It will help it battle because kitties are agile and need light armor and flexability. Duh. -
07-31-2012, 08:10 AMKoujiGekiCause Rydia from FF4 wasnt fighting in almost the same kinda gear as the gladiator gear but green? Or tifa who fights in a mini skirt and a bra. ( It is a bra cast a spell in ff7 with the right angle youll see her back its a bra.)Garnet is a walking lolicon, Rikku from ff10 2 nough said there. Lion, Linnite, from 11.Quote:

You have no idea what you are talking about, but in true clueless fashion, I'm sure you're going to keep talking anyways. OH LAWD, ONE OUTFIT THAT WE AS A COMMUNITY ASKED FOR AND THE FAT CHICKS ARE RISIN' UP! -

I don't know how you found a picture of me, but what is your point? I'm wrong because I make a lot of money, go on expensive cruises and drink fine wine? Unless you're someone in my linkshell.. Hmmm...

as long as dudes get similarly exposed armor in equal amounts, fine by me.

My retainer does not approve of the new gear.

Speaking of. Hope we can add scars and tattoos to other places than just the faces in v2. It would be cool if not everyone had the exact same bodies.

Along with the Coliseum armor i'd like to see this sort of armor as well imo:

Reminds me of the prudes in my family. The avatar is just a polygonal mockery of a life form. It is simply a machine with a sticker on it mimicking the play of light through matter, nothing more, and I think it looks cool.

The game is allowed to have a few sexy outfits you prudes.
I wonder if these people watch the olympics? There isn't an hour that goes by since the olympics have been on that I don't see a swimmer or a volleyball player or something doing what they do best, professional athletics. Oh wait! They're in incredibly skimpy outfits. Good lord. At a MAJOR INTERNATIONAL SPORTS EVENT?! Hide your kids, hide your wives! The obscenity is just insane! -

The objectification, sexification, exploitation and overreactization of men continues on a global level. When will equality be realized?
PS: clearly this man is "tacky" fan service, as the fembots called it. No way he's an Olympian or anything. -

Think of it like Cayenne pepper... a dash in the right dish makes things spicy and interesting, a cup of it added to everything is revolting.
Sidenote: Funny thing. We are all regularly bombarded with instructions to eat healthier, don't smoke, buckle-up, recycle, exercise, don't be judgmental, give blood, stop eating meat, don't bully, reduce our carbon footprint, don't text while driving, hate the rich/banks/oil companies, eat organic, celebrate diversity, support public eduction via higher taxation, etc.
Whenever this happens, people generally listen and agree (or not) and then peaceably go about their business.
However, if you were to suggest that dressing/acting modestly might be a good thing as well, most of those same people will become indigent to the point of rage at the idea.
Ever wonder why? -

I know this is a game and everything, but, if my character was a real person and I sent him to fight something with that on, I think they would be pissed because of the lack of protection.

And here I thought feminism was about choice. Silly me. -

How people wish to treat their own bodies and lives is their choice and so long as no one else is greatly harmed by it then they should be free to do as they wish. When they're children parents and teachers try to teach them whats right or whats wrong but after a certain age it becomes the child's choice to decide whats right or wrong. No one here is a child and we all make our own choices on right or wrong. No one has the right to take away that choice.Quote:

My motivations however, have always been consistent. As a fan of the series, I want to see FFXIV live up to the prestige of its (largely) classy franchise history and not degenerate into some sort of digital fap gallery, WOW clone, or a cheap cross-promotional marketing whore.
This sums it up nicely.
Still, it's apparently dangerous business to get between someone and their perceived freedom to experience sexual jollies in a video game. So let's say we just agree to disagree... k? -

08-02-2012, 02:57 AMRannieFunny thing is though is that it's more historically accurate for the roman collesium (god I know i spelled that wrong in someway) because most men wore little to nothing and a lot of times women went into fights topless. So they're doing that but not thinking of things in the historical sense either... *shrugs* either way I could care less how revealing it is it's not as revealing as the bikini's and there was less on thatQuote:
