True, I think his skin ton helped a lot, but he is still rocking a skirt ;)

Erm where's the pic to illustrate your point??

Screenshot or you look great !

I think subligars/swim wear/others look awesome on guys.

Bout time a MMO let male characters be as smexy as lady characters~ <3

And even then, OP- If it's that much of a problem for you, then why not just get better gear? No one is forcing you to dress that way, son....

OP- You should feel ashamed.... those shorts. You should be sporting a subligar. Then your milkshake will bring the boys to the yard. I'd tap it.

I thought we went over this already ages ago

well, all mages look like they cut a gunny sack open and put it over their heads for 49 levels, thats the crap i cant stand

If you mean the full White Mage set... What. There's a brief glimpse of leg when casting, and I thought I was prude. :p

Female Dragoon AF/+1

Why has no one said anything about it yet?

Please correct me if I am wrong, but that appearance is pretty standard for men in Roman Emprie's age isnt it?

If you don't like it, don't wear coliseum gear, it's pretty much the only set that looks like this, with the exception of the swinsuits

Well just so happens, here is another alternative body drop from a dungeon. Sorry I forget which one exactly but will look nicer for you hopefully body wise, not sure ab the shorts though...

Why other primals are beasts, and Garuda still has the body of a woman, with fur going through her buttocks giving the image of a thong?
Why a birdwoman doesn't have a tail (like her FFXI model)?

This bothers me more than the fact that WHM boxers on females are a skirt so short that shows their panties.

Sad thing is, I've found at least two other sets of "pants" that are like that as well >.>

Highlander women need to watch where they sit with any of these on...

Now you know what us women have to put up with.

I don't really want to objectify anyone, and I don't think this game does that. I more find it amusing when someone complains about a set or two of armor that's totally optional to wear, especially when it's the male armor because it's been like that (for me) with female armor for a long while. I just don't see it as a problem when the game offers many more armors that aren't in that skimpy feel. Maybe on the way it'll give a little insight to how I feel when that's what my character is constantly forced into, keyword being constantly though. This game in no way does that. The only game I can think of recently (within the past few years) that did do it was Tera. Why oh why did I ever roll a Castanic x.x

But if they are going to put skimpy gear in the game, (and coliseum gear/neo darkhold drops are something that there was a lot of discussion about back in 1.0) then I want them to keep it skimpy on everyone, regardless of gender.

Pretty much this :) Variety is good, and that means variety for all!

I hate my fugly DL cowl. Vanity system is in the works. We will be happy soon enough.

Lol, I was about to buy the coliseum shawl myself due but decided to wait since I'm already close to lv 50.

I'm glad I didn't buy it since I would've looked like you too

Not sure what is up with all the masculine insecurity. Just because something is skimpy doesn't mean it's not masculine. Some of the armor doesn't make sense with giant holes in vulnerable places... but get over yourself.

Most guys cover themselves up because they are fat and out of shape, not because they are "masculine". Conan the Barbarian says "Hi".

Ive gotten that armor before and I he answer is simple. Switch back to lower lvl chest armor or find new armor. Having one single piece of gear a lower lvl isn't going to be that big a difference and is worth it for maintaining at least some dignity.

For me it's nothing to do with masculinity, simply the fact they look awful :P

I'm all for it.

It's not fair that there's plenty of eye candy for all the straight men out there, but none for us straight females! I mean, Thancred is the only eye candy in the entirety of the Scions. It's not fair, dammit.

lol crying about skimpy. The real crime in this game is black mage myth armor! I cannot believe it was actually designed by a professional. It is so ugly and it's myth, nearly the best u can get. Need to swiftcast vanity slot...

My opinion on this set is completely different and it's like my fav set. I want to level a BLM next just to wear that.

Showing your belly button is considered risque now? Have we time traveled back to the 20's?

I'd take the blm myth gear over the smn myth gear any day of the week. I don't really need wings on my back and boots (which are more like sandals).

Have you seen the healer DL set? >< I'd exchange it for almost any other set out there. When I replaced the body piece (a few weeks ago) and the pants (yesterday), I was doing summersaults. I was so happy. We have cow print pants ffs (at least it looks like that from a distance)

And if you are upset by the certain armor piece, the final boss in the same dungeon you got your sexy caster beachwear from (Dzemael Darkhold) drops Harlequin's acton which does not have the problem of skimpiness. The stats are comparable.

There's nothing gutsy about making overly sexual armour for everyone.

You're a WHM. You know what you signed up for. lol

I take it you never played any of the older FF games? BLM myth armor is supposed to look like the classic Black mage...

I love it! Get a little more comfortable with your sexuality please.

different strokes for different folks. I see blm armor as a fashion crime and others adore it (mostly men). I get it the op doesn't want skimpy. Just be thankful this isn't ur BIS armor or even armor you will need for a long time to come. My Blm is trapped for quite a while.
