Can we get female outfits that are a little sexier?

I would like to think that the artists on the game, especially Akihiko Yoshida, would know the difference between artistically appealing and street corner dime bitch. While there have been a few bumps in the road here and there, Final Fantasy has usually(keyword) kept things classy, and they're ideally going to stick with that.

The most important thing is to keep artistic consistency, so if a certain outfit looks like it would fit within the style of Eorzea, then by all means go for it.

^^ This ^^

I don't mind things like FFXI manteels but really, I don't want it to go too far. If you want sexy xxx outfits there are means for you to get them without making everyone else see. Not everyone rolls a Miqo'te with their weird cat fetishes in mind. When creating new armor, please consider the females that are playing female characters, and don't completely cater to men who play female character so they can level up crafting with only one hand.

True Nikita but I don't think anyone here wants "sexy xxx" outfits. Everyone sees the word sexy and jumps to slutty, as was stated in the OP that's not what the thread is asking for. Personally I don't play a female character so it doesn't matter much to me but people are just asking for more options which I can respect and support. As I stated before it's not like the practical armor isn't going to keep coming. A lot of people here seem to be living in extremes, one or the other. They can both have their place in the game.

I think people just like to define a clear boundary. It's not really living in extremes. I'm fine with anything up to a certain point, but stressing where that point is; that's the important part. Also, judging from some of the replies, there are people out there who do want slutty. In the end I only have two concerns: first, like Malakhim said, artistic consistency. Second, I don't want my character to be reduced to a sex object.

I agree that many of the outfits seem boring, I just don't want it to turn into an anime where every girl magically has tripple Ds, which.. Some people would be more than happy with.

And yes, over the top exaggeration lol. Just trying to make a point.

Catgirls and Miqo'te arent really all that different. Im sure by cat girl you think of a girl wearing nekomimi headband and a fake tail, possibly some fake paws too, but cat girl can also be a real girl with real cat ears and real tail.

And.... Miqo'te are kind of the sex symbol of FFXIV :D. Sure isn't Lalafell or roegs...

Reality and fantasy/sci fi mmorpgs shoudln't even be in the same sentence.

So what is it. Too puritan for some basic human nature?

Suspension of disbelief as well as people using realism as a substitute way of saying TERA outfits suck. Some places, even if for taste, you have to draw the line. I was joking about QB earlier. That's fine for what that anime was trying to go with, but it wouldn't fit the existing aesthetics of FF14 too well.

There are things that the game can do to look nicer (like a few more color options for clothing) within the constraints that have been set up.


Well I don't think it's sexy, something that would look nicer is those white and red outfits the priestesses in some anime wear.

You aren't accepting the sexiness!

*sips tea and squirts all over the keyboard*

More colors, more designs. There werent' many cultures where women and men wore the exact same thing. As a mage I just feel so manly with my robe on, and not only manly but boring. As a woman, I wear a band tshirt and jeans everyday, nothing too racy. But your clothes do show your style somewhat. In xi we were proud of even basic starting pieces, or embarassed of some if they look kinda lame. I want that back. No gear in this game looks awesome and no gear in this game even looks lame, its all just mediocre at best. I liked the gear style don't get me wrong, but i feel like it needs embellishments, especially if you used FFXIV model viewer and you see the higher level variations of the boring gear we have now. they look awesome :/

No. Go play ANY other MMO with stupid chainmail bikinis if that's what you want.

Sexiness comes in many ways than the chainmail bikini. Use your imagination, there are mages and Pirates in this game too. Surely they don't dress all alike :D

While I approve of anything Ecchi related being implemented, be it more tentacled monsters, more revealing clothing, or more risque dialogue, I think we do have some nice attires to choose from atm. My Man'qote is practically popping out of her Vintage Seneschal Coatee. When I throw on a subligar, you can tell that not all of "dat azz" is covered. We've gotta keep things friendly for the random junior high kiddies that play on "onii-chan's" account.

Speaking of which, we are sorely lacking in tentacles. I've thought about starting a thread about just that.

ok it must be said. with the response legit complaints got i feel this is a perfect thread to put it in.

the game has more important things to deal with than this. you know the game is broken and needs to be fixed before bringing this up.

I feel like that kind of thing should be understood with all suggestion threads unless the OP is demanding it happen immediately.

Unless they make a costume system like F2P games, it's going to be the same no matter who designs it.

Where is my tophat and monocle?

Would be cool if we can wear costumes over our gears. Like a different armor slot in equipments just for costumes.

Nay or Yay?

I wouldn't mind cosmetic slots but then there is that whole issue where your wearing cosmetic gear ontop of your real stuff and going into battle.

That's how it is, you have to realize that we're playing a game. The only thing real is community approval. No laws of nature is need, only consensus approved.

Or do you feel right genociding monsters and animals in real life?

So would you agree cosmetic slots ontop real armor would be fun to use? Can come in handy when there is seasonal events when you think about it. I can't think of anything negative about it.

I like the more or less unisex attires that FF uses. Its more logical and fair than, like some other MMOs, where a female puts on something like a steel thong and 2 steel nipple covers and call it 'heavy armor warrior'

---

I dont mind anyother gear. But I am not for 2 steel bra-armor-like part. I played few other mmorpgs, they re full of this. We always wondered in guilds how can the armor protect nearly naked characters. When it should be armor, let it look like armor. You re right.

While my battle-hardened Miqo'te certainly would never want to lead the charge into the fray in anything less than full plate armor, I'm sure it couldn't be that comfortable to lounge around in on a casual Sunday. Why not leave "real" (ie. not skimpy) armor for the real gear, and put in a bunch of vanity/costume pieces? It's a gil sink (good for the economy), it breaks up the variety of things you see people wearing around the city, and it lets you play around with how your character looks, adding your own personal flair to the game. Everyone wins!

The term "Hentai" is being thrown around far too liberally here...Hentai refers to "Sexually explicit" imagery, usually referring to Japanese anime. "Sexually Explicit", while it is different for many countries and regions, it is not hentai if there are no naughty bits involved at all. No sane MMORPG developer would include sexually explicit content to the extent of hentai as part of the game. it would be shooting themselves in the foot, especially on an international release. It is why Doujinshi markets and .dat switchers are generally not accepted as official works by SE.

^ This. Practical armor will continue being added but why not allow people to have purely cosmetic clothing options? Things like just casual clothing, beach wear (for men and women), costumes, etc....

Also lol@ all the people immediately jumping to "OMG HENTAI PORN!" as if that's what the OP and others are asking for. Maybe one or two people jokingly but most of the people supporting this thread are for tasteful but different options.

Cannot wait for Tera!

There's a big difference between female models looking sexy in a TASTEFUL way compared to them looking sexy in a TACKY way, which no longer makes then sexy, but trashy. That image is tasteful, and from other pics I have looked at, there is armor that covers the body sufficiently.

Showing some cleavage on characters with realistic proportions, like in XIV is not a detriment. Sure, it might not be realistic in a combat environment, but last time I checked, neither is wearing cloth.

I agree with with what most people have said. I don't want slutty-looking characters walking around, and I don't think the devs do either. But with that said, this is still a game, and its not a super realistic one at that, which is just perfect for me, I have enough of realism in real life every day. And I do like that some gear covers the females' bodies in their entirety, but maybe some armor with a bit more cleavage or showing a little bit of the hip would look nice.

Come on, I'm already shocked by the fact that armored pants can have less armor than subligars...
