I approve of skimpy male armors. My catboy demands equal opportunity in showing bare skin! Just allowing the females to do it would be sexist... :p

Sublingers have been a staple of both FF onlines, not sure why anyone is acting all shocked or surprised that they are still there. And I have to love the hypocrisy of the sexually insecure little boys who seem to have no problem with female characters wearing underwear like gear, but are getting all butt hurt because the guys are getting the same treatment. Cry harder, because it's hilarious.
My only beef with it has nothing to do with the armor itself, but mostly just with the constant laughter from my GF when I have to wear subligars. She finds them hilarious and it can be a bit distracting when she keeps emoting grins and laughs at me. XD
Otherwise, I have no issue with them. It was cool when they did it in roman times and in movies like 300 so it doesn't bother me. Particularly on a monk/pugilist... I don't need no stinkin' armor.
The robes are bad as well. I've yet to come across a good armor. Once we get vanity though I'm pretty sure I can throw something revealing and classy together.
Only issue I have with the subligars is that little portion of armor that covers your thighs. It doesn't quite go low enough to reach even knee-high boots making them look really awkward, like the designer wanted to make shorts but couldn't quite make up his mind and decided on leather cut-offs. In FFXI they only had those random belts going across the thigh, didn't look quite as strange.
being female irl, and on my female character, that is a beautiful set, the more like it the better imo.
but if i played a male, then its hideous and somewhat insulting Oo
odd i was noting the awesome armour i get as a gladiator. even at level 8 i had my haubergeon and sarouels and some sorta helm (forget which) and my gladius with my hoplon and was thinking "this guy looks tits" and i see folks dressed like alphonse and think "awesome"
i think gladiator just gets all the cool armour. like the art department at SE focus entirely on making cool armour for the gladiator and then is like "crap we gotta make armour for everyone else too...just give the mages another slight variation on the level 5 robe and the rest...i don't know *grabs something out of the closet* put em in this"
As an old FFXI player, and a Monk at that, I know the subligar all too well. Behold the legend, of Subligar Man
