We need normal options, if anything. Practically every piece of footwear has significant heels on the lady's, and it gets really annoying for us trying to go for a less fanciful look.

I'm neither for nor against this idea, but I am amused by the amount of people in this thread scoffing at those who desire it and their reasoning as to why.
Have they seen the male and femalehairstylesmodels that "won" in the recent contest?
Anime high school uniforms are one of the telltale signs of a F2P MMO.
I do not think that is true.
The telltale sign is wings, normally a pair of black wings and pair of white wings. A search for MMO and armour/outfit wings gives plenty of examples, yet a search for high school armour/outfit and MMO's not so much. Even taking any example into account however does not mean SE should not consider adding such things. Just because F2P MMO's have them does not mean subscription based MMO's cannot.
Honestly, what is the harm in giving people more options to wear? I mean I won't wear it (least I don't think) but I also don't glamour to impress you, I do it cus I enjoy it. We all are sick and tired of "Cloud Strife" and other variations of Final Fantasy characters but that doesn't stop other people from using it those names or butchering them (adding double letters for no reason other than to use the name). Point is, you may not like it, then don't use the glamour.
Because anime school girl outfits are ridiculous, bend over slightly and your undies are exposed for all to see. If you want undie revealing skirts, go play PSO2 or something (yes, yes, I know FFXIV has some too). I don't see why people want to throw in things into a game that they don't belong in. Why don't we add clown suits too? Oh, and I want a giant banana costume. Let's not forget the giant taco costume while we're at it.
I don't like the idea. Unless:
-Type-0 uniforms: Some promotional thing like the Lightning Return (rip and never come back) event and/ir cashsop, since it's not P2W at all.
-SeeD uniforms: Part of the veteran rewards, like both Cloud and Firion's outfit and/or cashshop, since it's not P2W at all.
I'm against the idea, but even I acknowledge that I'm in the minority here. A large portion of the playerbase, especially the playerbase Square-Enix listens to, DOES want these kind of things.
I'm just here to watch the commotion made over the idea, really.
Want some popcorn?
And running around in a giant Chocobo suit isn't weird? Clown suit, I think your talking about the Bards outfit. Regardless as I said, if you don't like the outfit guess what, you don't gotta wear it. Why does it seem people always want to go to the extremes in the argument? We can't have a child race cus pedophiles, can't have anime outfit cus of panty shots?
People don't like the idea because hundreds of Japanese school girls running around would break the immersion of the game. Chocobo suits and other costumes like that have at least some kind of connection to the game, but school uniforms would be completely out of place. I'd love to have new cute glamours but I would rather take something that fits the XIV's realm a bit better.

If you know there are some already in the game, how is that any different? School Outfits have become a staple in a lot of JRPGs. You got bikinis and swimsuits. How is a school girl (or guy) outfit any different than that? There is no such thing as "fitting" in the game.
Ancient Allagan Learning Uniform
boom solved the problem
i m against it ridiculous school girl outfit, which almost no one wear that to school
just pure fan service or wet dream of the manga author
and i m against ridiculous high heel, we do have some leg gear with small heel, which i found it gorgeous, but super high heel? it is a pain to walk with it, and to fight an enemy while wear one? just shoot me
and i know, there will be reply like "what's the big deal adding something other ppl want"
i m not going to change their mind
but i will feel so weird to see school girl running around in FFXIV world
i m find if they adding uniform that look like school uniform, if the skirt is not ridiculously short and they find a way to fit into lore
Firstly, niceme.me.
Yeah, a common thing with JRPGs that pander to anime audience, not in Final Fantasy games (Type 0 maybe? Although that's less anime-esque). There is a difference between short skirts, and full blown school girl anime outfits. 2nd result on searching anime school girl:
You'd have to be crazy to believe that fits in with FFXIV.
I hope you're not serious.Quote:

This is exactly what the generic anime school girl outfit is, nothing but fanservice pandering.
As for a valid lore reason to add this to the game, Call it an import from Doma :P
well the sailor shirt + legs of the scholar lvl 50 set is the excuse for the anime school uniform that is why i was using it xD
I mean everything is possible if is inside the FF universe.
If you want legit anime school uniforms in a mmo you can play tera
This is my opinion on the matter, now my thoughts
The idea seems interesting, if perverted. SE had incorporated other silly outfits into the lore (though it helps that most of them are seasonal events, or Veteran Rewards). But the thing is it is set in an analogue of the Middle/Dark Ages (the later eras at least) and the Japan analogue seem to be inspired by the Edo or Meiji era, not the Heisei era, and the role the player have are adventurers, not highschool students, especially if they "graduated" be leveling SCH to 50
There are many crossovers I want, there are also many concepts I want to see, but I know that most of them are likely to be limited to the End of Days for Eorzea and the fanfic realm (maybe the Hilderbrand storyline, but that seems to be over for now). A Show by Rock, Vocaloid, Kantai Collection, Touhou, Marvel, DC(UO), My Little Pony, Transformers or Steven Universe crossover would raise eyebrows at best and would actually be the straw that finnaly breaks the camel's back at worse, event the DQ crossover was stretching things a little. Likewise incorporating concepts not native to medieval times that aren't standard fantasy, Science Fiction or Final Fantasy if done poorly, will actually have players threaten to unsub (again).
It's not impossible for SE to make fetish outfits be able to fit with the lore, but whether or not they do it well or not (and even if they want to and if Yoshida will let them) is another question. The fact is this is a Fantasy RPG with some sci-fi touches, not a dating sim or an anime for people to live vicariously though. At best those wanting school suits can hope that SE implements the concept well of adds the Class-0 or SeeD uniforms, neither option is currently likely
Getting the sense the OP wouldn't be getting nearly as much flack if they worded their post better. "Japanese school uniforms" would have been a much better choice of words than mentioning anime in any way.
Is because the post would be had been made more ambiguous, as mentioned before, the stereotypical serafuku is being phased out IRL (along with the related competition onepiece swimsuit). But yeah Anime (or perhaps just the Moe Highschool style) does seem to be a point of contention lately and I'm sure school uniforms would had been different in the Meiji or Edo era than the Heisei era, but I'm certain some would still see the intent of the thread anyway.
The difference being in anime, the clothes are extraordinarily tight and the skirts are shorter than a long pair of briefs. Normal Japanese school clothes wouldn't fit in any better though, and I'd still see a lot of opposition to the idea. It's no different from asking for a uniform from anywhere else in the world to be implemented (see below image), other than some people having a "thing" for Japanese school clothing.
During the Meiji era is when public schools started adopting the sailor suit uniforms for students, though... however it was in the Taisho era where it became really popular
in the Edo period they wore more traditional kimono.
(you would not believe how hard it is to find this information..it's all Meiji westernization MANCHUKUO WWII in English history books..ugh)
In all seriousness, there is already a lot of slutty outfits in this game (see : female highlander hempen set, gold saucer bunny set, all the different bikinis, coliseum set, things like that) so adding one more wouldn't really hurt, but seriously. School girls. What kind of people are actually asking for that ? I'm kinda afraid. Everytime I see an anime school girl I see a 12 yo girl with boobs that even a 20 yo would envy. I don't know what kind of fantasy it fulfills, but seems like pedobear's seal of approval is hanging there.
Wearing a bikini = slutty?
Weeaboo Fantasy XIV? Yes, please!
Bikinis are not slutty if you wear them at the beach or maybe let's say in very hot places like Thanalan (and even then, you would preferably want to protect your skin). Anywhere else is nonsense and slutty. Coliseum doesn't fit any theme. There is no true efficient battle equipment that shows so much skin, it's pure fantasy. It fits the theme of fan-service as much as Erza Scarlet's slutty armors from Fairy Tail.
You can have your seifuku when I get my oversized gakuran, baseball bats, long skirts, and medical masks, proper jackets with poems of war on the front and love on the back and maybe even a proper motorcycle.
