Suggestion: Male Nipples

Has it never occurred to anyone to wonder why men even have nipples at all? Human men are incapable of producing milk and can't breastfeed, so why do they have nipples? (It's a rhetorical question; don't need to tell me; the short answer is evolution.)

So, the reason Eorzean men have no nipples is simply that, in their infinite wisdom, the Twelve designed them that way. Deal with it. ;)

That's false. Its been clinically proven that men can produce milk and breastfeed, given the right medical supplements and circumstances

Also in the beginning all babies are female, once past a certain point boys might happen so while I'm not sure if that happens after the nipples it's a good explanation right?

If you look closely, in the right light and angle... Elezen have them too.

Sort of.

Male nipples are erogenous as well. Female nipples have a primary function that is not sexual, their secondary function (erogenous zone) is matched by the male nipple. Why do people not have more of a problem with male chest display, when male nipples have no use other than as erogenous zones?
</cheeky>

Not that Kos wants to run around hanging out of her clothes... No, definitely not.

As such, decorum is required; but that should be equally true of males...cover thy nipples!

Can we also add nipple sliders too?

For science ofc.

They're already there, but they're not textured.

I will just throw in my support for this. You literally need the right light and angle to see them, it's hilarious XD
Also that picture of Snow: yes please, that would be perfect (inb4 Lala: I play a male Hyur, male Au ra and also had male Miqo's [that are now Lalas due to reasons] )

Why? They're just nipples. XD

@OP: I agree completely! It really weirds me out that the guys' chests are completely empty. They look so alien.

Females already have fully colored and defined nipples. Prove to me that they don't! :3

Ecchi or not, you have to admit that some of Inori's outfits must need an awful lot of body glue to keep from flying off her body at the slightest movement. XD

I don't know what kek is? but yeah..I get tons of requests to cosplay this and they send me extremely sexual poses of that Rem character.

I don't find it offensive in the least (I love ecchi!), but if you are going to say "ew" about the human body, when referring to something males naturally have and is already in the game on highlanders, again, it seems silly when you model your character after this lol. That was one of the most tame pics I could find that was sent to me :P

Looks ecchi like to me lol..but..ok?

My friend has tons of body pillows. figures etc from this show..and all of it looks quite ecchi like, and the fact that again, I keep getting requested from fans to make her costume, that is what they all tell me.

I'd post his collection but I don't think he wants me to post his personal pic on a forum for people I don't know to prove a point that when liking a large chested, sexy character that saying "ew" towards male nipples is hypocritical. So yea, this galaxy..w.

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/ecchi

adjective


1.

noting or pertaining to a subgenre of Japanese manga, anime, computer games, etc., characterized by light, playful sexual themes and imagery.

That image I posted (and I can post screen caps from the anime) sorry, but that fits it. A girl laying down looking like that is sexual imagery...her outfit is lol. People wouldn't ask me to cosplay it because they want me to look cute, they wanna see my chest and legs :P

Irmoi is dead right that looks exactly like it! xD

I'm hoping that 4.0 will announce a complete revamp of the character customisation system so if that turns out to be true than something like this could be included...so long as it's done tastefully, of course.

FFXII, FFXIII and Kingslaive had shirtless scenes for male characters with nipples on display so...I don't think FFXIV should be censored in that regard.

I never played 1.0 myself though there's a definite difference in the character models between then and now. The current ones aren't terrible but they're in dire need of more options...and not just the new hairstyles we get every patch. Every race needs more facial options, a muscle slider and more tattoo/scar options. In addition to that a broader range of facial features (eyes, jawlines, noses, etc) will allow more people to create unique looking characters. I'd consider playing a male Highlander if they had younger, more classically handsome facial options and...the ability to give them real eyebrows rather than 'face paint eyebrows'.

A male Au Ra, too, would be an option for me if the horn styles weren't locked to specific faces.

Yes, 100% agreed! Have my fingers crossed that they are going to do this in 4.0. We are in dire need of all of these options.

Ecchi just means Fan Service. This could be girls in bikinis for no apparent reason or to the extreme accidental groping, revealing panties.

The short answer is not evolution actually. The tissues that are the nipple and the areola serve one purpose on males: To prove that male humans are mammals. That is the first and foremost reasoning for them.

If it has nipples(or teets as they are called for many feral animals) it is a mammal if it doesn't, then it is not a mammal.
Yes, Dolphins, and whales are mammals. They just live in the water because they're weird.

Hence the term "Mammary"

Class is dismissed.

As far as I am aware it's a stylistic choice, and while I have nothing against male nipples, it would be really weird to start seeing them all of a sudden now so I wouldn't be in favour of it.

Exactly lol I am done arguing with the troll..hehe

lack of arguments :)

ecchi/えっち is actually the japanese pronunciation for the letter H which would stand for "hentai" in context. over the years and over time it kinda became the not-so-pervy version of hentai when used in the west

Yaoi?

BL for Boy Love, Shounen Ai, or Yaoi, if it's boy on boy or man on man you're after. :P

On topic, yes please! If they've had it in other FF games I see no reason to why they shouldn't have them here. It looks creepy without them just like it would if we had no bellybutton. At least there is a tiny bump to indicate they're there.
