Gear sets girls / guys

The Strikers set is basically identical except for "filling in" legs and the top.

I love the set on female but the "skirt" on the male version is getting to me.
There are cases like this that are nothing more than minor adjustments.

Surprised no-one has mentioned the coatee set yet.

Male Coatee: respectable evening jacket and hose

Female Coatee: CLEAVAGE! MINI-SKIRT!

That was quite disappointing to me. I always liked the fact that XI and XIV didn't overly sexualise the females' gear like most MMOs.

As someone from Victorian England I am also quite offended when women are sexualized. Ugh the amount of exposed ankles in this game.

Indeed, any aspect of life where girls aren't reduced to wearing nipple tassles and dental-floss underwear is so prudish.

I happen to like the art design in this game in general, because it isn't aimed at immature children. You appear to be of a different opinion.

It exists on the Male version of the armor also, they just wear a black/blue chainmail undershirt. get real close to a Male DRG wearing it and you'll see.

They need to impliment the trouser style from FFXI, they were normal trousers but on female characters looked a bit more like hot pants at times. I miss my dusk trousers.

Your argument is invalid.

Overall I'm pretty happy with the aesthetics of this game. There's no armor or animations that make me want to change races or genders unlike other MMOs(*cough* Rift). I can continue being my favorite race and know that they're will 9/10 be equality in the gear/animations(and the other 10% of the time it doesn't, it'll look best on cats ANYWAY! bwahahaha).

Is the skirt on male Roman army uniforms and Greek army uniforms (where only males can enlist) bothering you? They started the trend. And they're very much skirts. And very much not a female-only garment.
