The female DRG AF belly window needs to be closed

Regardless of what anyone wants it's more than safe to assume they will not go back to modify this gear. In other instances they've specifically said they wouldn't dedicate any time to old gear and would instead take it into consideration for future gear. Won't happen for this outfit ever.

That belly hole has me thinking... wouldn't it cause some nasty cuts to the characters abdomen if they bend or twist their bodies?

After seeing it up close in the benchmark, I'd like to take that back. I don't like how it looks, especially the things at the hips.

Check the benchmark yourself. Thats the AF2 armor without the helmet. Doesn't quite look what I imagined it to look like compared to the trailer

I need to revive this, because I am previewing the armor on my female alt character and I am getting unreasonably tilted looking at that glaring weak spot in the armor.

I am not fond of the idea of having something I personally like erased/ changed because you're '' unreasonably tilted ''.

FFXIV isn't a realistic simulator, if you don't like it that's fine but lets not pretend like this is somehow '' unrealistic '' in the context of FFXIV.
If you don't like revealing gear then you also have the OVERWHELMING majority of gear already catered to you, so it's a bit silly to get mad because this one piece doesn't fit your personal taste.
You're not the only person playing this game.

The whole set is stupid if you want to get into this, the whole concept of '' spiked armor '' is dumb especially if you're going to wear it all day every day ( tbh at that point wearing so much armor is stupid to begin with, no way you'd be able to live like that ).
Even fairly normal fantasy stuff like wearing big cloaks is completely idiotic in the context of combat, this is a very selective complaint tbh that is just a matter of people trying to justify why their taste is '' more important ''.
If you dislike it that's fine but I wish if people were going to make these arguments they'd be more consistent about it and not just selectively apply it whenever something doesn't suit their taste.

I mean I am looking at the helmet your character is wearing in your profile pic currently and am wondering how your character can even see lol.

Really? A 7 year thread necro? I think rather than changing the armor you need to seek therapy instead, cheaper for everyone concerned.

No. Just make it an option for either gender.

Didn't gladiators beat the life out of each other and fought lions and all sorts of vicious beasts in sandals, bare belly and a ridiculous bronze helmet? This is not as ridiculous as it seems.

"Gladiators generally wore minimal amounts of clothing and fought with their chests bare because this was a symbol of masculinity. They wore canvas loincloths in a variety of colours, called a subligaculum. They also wore sandals, called gladiator sandals, which have inspired the designs of many sandals even today." -Google

And I'm not going to lie, IRL a seasoned gladiator that killed 10 lions and 4 of his kind could probably beat the ever living crap out of a pompous knight dressed in full plate mail that did nothing but chill around in court as noble for most of his life with "some" mock training. Heck, even if they went to battle and killed a few folk they wouldn't stand a chance because none of that armor is going to make up for the fact that the naked person spent a huge chunk of his life in killing grounds murdering others to claw his way out of the coloseum.

Quite frankly a female dragoon with a belly window thats killed a few dragons could come up to a noob and tear him in half. A mail shirt isn't going to stop a magically enhance relic of untold power being swung with super human strength at the armor wearer.
