Although we might one day see the Hempem sets unlock i doubt they would do the same for starter gear to keep some exclusive to each race ^^"

I'd absolutely love to see fewer race/gender restrictions! Plus, the hempen sets for other races look great! Every time I fantasia to something other than Miqo'te, my Lara Croft glam gets ruined.
Yes please! Unlock them all! My Elezen can finally wear something other than sleeves. I especially want to put that midlander boy tank top on my other non-midlander characters pls.
I personally do NOT want to see the stuff unlocked. Will probably get lynched for not agreeing on all of you here, but I'd like the races to have a bit of uniqueness. The racial stuff kind of holds a bit of culture of the races and to see it unlocked really brings a sour taste to my mouth. The few bits that set the races apart will be unlocked most likely due to overwhelming agreements to it. But... I'm really not seeing it. Personally, I want the bits to stay to the races. Just to give them a bit of them own flair. If I want a character wearing Au ra stuff, I'll play an Au Ra. Simple as that. I cannot imagine my Miqo'te to wear anything else but Miqo'te stuff.
But my voice is one that will get lost in the sea of overwhelming yeses, and that kind of makes me sad.
I don't understand how anyone thinks the current RSE holds any culture specific to one race. What specifically about miqo'te culture says "lacy boyshorts" to you? Even the starter gear just looks like different takes on the same "adventurer gear" rather than something about that race. I think the only reason people associate the different sets with a race is because they are already locked to that race. If they had never been locked in the first place I strongly doubt anyone would think they should have been race specific.
If we were talking about FFXI I could understand. The mithra all come from a jungle island and their RSE is a loincloth. Galka are slaves and their RSE is a harness. But FFXIV has more diverse races that are split into clans and the existing RSE is just generic looking stuff that doesn't seem based on any of that lore.
Unlock for all races please! I feel having the option open to all brings in more interest than restricting them. Worst case scenario when it first happens we might see lots in the miquote top, but it probably wouldn't be a long term thing.
I support unlocking the Hempen sets.
Also joined forum just to say please please unlock it. I love my au ra, but would love it much more if i could wear the hempen cami from other races
