Subligar is completly different, its manly and protects what needs protection.
THat GW2 thing is just fanservice.

I'm actually rather fond of this character design by Tsunako for the neptunia series. That I recolored...

For mage gear SE could bring something classic

like this one for Summoners:

It's cloth armor. You don't wear them for protection, you wear them to look awesome.

Be honest, you just want to be able to both tank and turn your head at the same time.

I'd love a mage outfit with a robe that covers half of my face, green pants, and big yellow pointy hat....

BLM's AF is so disappointing.

Also, that stuff is hideous. This game doesn't need more ugly gear...we have plenty as it is.

Good luck trying to get a woman to speed run that.

If it gave enough tomes, I sure would.

Wouldn't wear any of the gear, but hey, tomes are tomes.

Cloth armor is worn to be loose enough to easily make the grand gestures to enact arcane channeling. Ethereal energy easily flows and collects in bound and woven material making various cloths, especially cotton and silk, ideal for mages. Metals usually make for an improper conduit, save for more soft metals like Gold, which would make fro crappy armor anyway.

I guess.

Seriously, for once we've got an MMO here that hasn't actually raised the sexism in gaming debate. Let's just be happy that both men AND women for the most part have armour that actually looks like... practical ARMOUR!

A what? Welcome to 2013.... Where you can be a woman and look sexy without being whatever word you used... I think you need to leave the 1950's behind dear.

I've actually been rather happy with the armor in this game. It's one of the first MMOs where the armor looks mostly the same whether a female or a male is wearing it. I use to hate in other games that I'd see a cool armor set on a guy and then get it myself only to find a plate bikini. I do like options though, so I can't wait for costume slots or transmog.

Sometimes I do want to be in revealing stuff, and there are some sets like that in this game. Other times I want to look like the awesome Paladin that I am :D I basically like having options.

Well that's fine if you find this art style appealing. I personally do not. I'm not saying we need to be near naked, but looking like we're wearing our boyfriends clothes and armour just is rather underwhelming

This may be the shittiest thread on this entire forum.

A woman can also look sexy without resorting to revealing 90% of her anatomy to monsters that want to kill her.

It's fine that you don't like the art style, to each their own. I strongly disagreed because I don't judge a woman's worth, or her womanlyness (I know, not a word) based on looks alone, or how revealing her clothes can be. Saying you have to be sexy to be, or feel like a woman is just as close-minded as the opposing view saying it's more womanly to cover yourself up.

There are also a slew of MMOs that force me into chainmail bikini's. I appreciate that this one doesn't. Like I said, I like options. This game has a mix, and doesn't restrict the revealing stuff to female characters. I've not once seen a character that was a female that I thought was a man. There are plenty of low cut, busty gals I see running around and such (that's not a complaint).

The low level gear does look kinda terrible on most people, not just girls.

o.o Paladin with Titan weapon was my first thought seeing this, lol. I know it's not.. just my initial thought on what it looked like.

i dont know why boys like to rpg girls in skimpy outfits and run around like theyre hot or something, whats the mentality behind getting off on pixels?
you guys know the internet right? it has real porn, all you can eat, no need to drag your hormones into the game.

My point is that usually in MMOs you generally see male versions of armour be this mountain of steel, while the same exact armour for women is a steel bikini. That may be sexy, but it's also sexist and it's also a major controversy in gaming today.

I was browsing the monk-ware international and found some cool threads:
http://english.chinatibetnews.com/Ti...09be683025.jpg

Nothing says, "Worship me!" more than this! ;D

And this:
http://www.jokeshop.ie/wp-content/up...1346336800.jpg

says, "I'm homeless and poor, give me gil or I'll kick your ash in PvP".

They need to do something about the poor men out there. I mean, seriously. The caster outfits for men are hilariously horrible.
