I'm a male healer and I don't want to dress like a girl

Especially the Law gear since the leg piece is a skirt. So you're effective wearing a skirt inside a skirt ... makes no sense

Actually that's one reason why I love the Daystar set. Looked good on both genders and the armored gloves and boots were awesome.

Then I guess you dislike BLM's that are males too then since they have to put on this "dress" (Hint, it's a robe.) Be glad your paladin isn't forced to wear one like some games do.

That's also a cleric. White mages are more like priests than clerics.

Scholars could use more militaristic gear given their history, but beyond that?

To be fair though, it's a freaking 8 bit sprite. And it *really* looks female. I've thought that since I first saw it, and I *had* the NES release.

^_^ Well, like I said, I could be biased since I enjoy long hair on guys. But it's still a matter of opinion -- no genders were given, no pronouns used regarding individual characters, so what the WHM/WHW has in their pants is entirely up to the player.

(As a side note, I made both BLM and WHM into female characters in my current playthrough, since I named them all after RP characters in a previous campaign I played. Technically the fighter/knight as well, since the character I named it after was a female transvestite.)

Cranius ftw.
Him and Legs made some of the best machinima for music. :D

My WHM is the only one of the healers wearing a "robe" atm, due to him wearing the Ironworks gear for levelling. But otherwise, I have my SCH in a suit, and AST is currently wearing the Woad Skydruid's stuff. There is a fair amount of robe options if you're looking in JUST gear for WHM, but expand to the "all classes" gear used for glamours, crafting and gathering, and you've got a lot of options atm :D

Whenever I see someone complain about being a caster class and having to wear a robe, I chuckle. Why? Because of this video Big Blue Dress. Different game but it's totally applicable.

And I see that someone has already linked the video. Ha!

Though, more attire options, don't consist of a skirt/robe/dress are always welcome.

Field Commanders set maybe? It's more like a long jacket than a robe.
