For future reference, you can just edit it in once you've posted. The character limit only applies to the original comment.

Should the taffeta sets be racially altered too in order to keep certain races (especially since some au ra can push that "questionably of age" line too). This seems to be the only one that comes with the added baggage of "This is wrong because it allows this one group of players the ability to possibly dress provocatively."


We're not trying to silence you; we're asking you not to slam an entire post of mostly non-lala players as perverts and deviants. Especially when your issue seems to be with a larger (and ultimately valid) problem in the game concerning glamour gear.

As a mater of fact i do feel that certain gear should be altered for the Lalafell race as whole. Some items were changed in FFXI to accommodate the Tarutaru form better, however I know it will not happen, but seeing some of what has come of it is rather disgusting. (fan art, erp specifically geared to more... disturbing subject matter, ect) The big picture is not often pretty, to be blind to how this can be used is not something i can do. People have clamored on these very forums for the means to play as children. Why something that waddles like a toddler should be in taffeta gear (or any number subligar) is to me vexing.

However this is more on the topic of the Hempen gear, which even i will admit is limited in it's representation of each race. At the moment it is one of two set that do so. It's loss as a unique piece of equipment is literally half of the "racial sets" we currently have access to. In an earlier post i made mention of the idea to expand this list and create gear that was basically more refined versions of the starter gear as a way to so how far our characters have come for creation through adventures and into the Warrior of light while celebrating their racial background.

I fundamentally believe that an experienced Hellsguard Roegadyn would have set of clothing much different that a grizzled Seawolf, it's ludicrous that a Highlander dresses the same as a fresh faced young Midlander, with all the cultural tension between Elezen it's hard to believe that both Duskwight and Wlidwood shop at the same outfitter, Aura Xaela are known as nomads ever traveling and living in rough environments and bloody warfare, the Raen abandoned this life style and live in a valley of mist... they never though to to get fresh clothes/ repair their ragged ensemble?

Aye, in the end it's just a game and it does not have to be taken that serious, here we are 35 pages as of this post debating underwear and it's cultural significance in a make believe world. I simply see all these dev request/ demand threads and sometime wonder if some people actually want to play FFXIV.

Why not? Even if not a leotard, it would've been nice to get a chippendales inspired outfit since that's about the closest male equivalent to the Playboy Bunny, then all you have to do is unlock the rabbit ears. Or just unlocking the ears at all would be good for most players I think, there's already plenty for a makeshift Chippendale outfit.

I'm not against it I just was wondering if it was a jk response.
"Was it a popular thread like this?" I should of asked.

Mostly want the bunny ears since it's ridiculous to gender locked it.

Ah gotcha! It was a pretty popular demand earlier, though under the more broad umbrella of "Unlock gendered armor!" with the bunny outfit being the primary example.

I don't think there was one particular thread as large as this one (though this thread mostly exploded after the community rep posted asking for feedback).

It has come up a few times in various threads, and at the PAX East Q&A.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Please unlock the Hempen set for all races. I'm a heavy glamourer :)

Thank you :cool:
