Can we get female outfits that are a little sexier?

Okay, I made some. They are very ROUGH sketches though. =p And some are just a bit of fan service. (I'm also not very good at drawing males, =p so sorry of you wanting some sexier male clothing as well.)

I'm more for elegant sex-appeal, and I'm sorry I can't convey some of my ideas with better sketches lol.

Nice Work!!!

Let's stick with more realistic armor for females please; armor should actually protect the user.

To the OP, go play a Korean MMO. Aion or Tera when it comes out. They love skimpy clothes and in Aion's case clothing was more important that content. Don't bring that BS here.

I like some of these. There's definitely a lot of steam punk going on, although I think some of them are less adventurer and more "lady of the house"-like.

I think just taking existing pieces of gear and adding subtle to moderate changes to female models might be enough to accentuate the feminine appeal to them. Something similar to another Yoshida Archer image someone pointed out a few pages back, where the male was wearing loose-fitting trousers while the female was wearing tights and I think a shorter cape. I don't think it was particularly offensive, and it basically said "I'm a classy archer chick, and I look good doing it."

Hell, if you look back a few months to the Valentione's Day art(and even some official art that we've seen frequently), there's definitely a big element of cute and/or sexy attire for the ladies, but it all retains a very classy feel to it and as I've mentioned before, keeping it classy is probably the best way to maintain that sort of gilded, Romantic sense of adventure that the Final Fantasy series has been known to go for. Well, before they let Tetsuya Nomura wreck havoc over it, but that's a personal opinion.

And yeah, if people want fap material, you can find plenty of that(some of which FFXIV-based, no less!) all over the internet.

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.

Thank you for explaining literally what was meant to be figurative. Why anyone would "like" the comment of someone who has completely missed the point is beyond me.

This game does not need any level of perversion, let alone the exaggerated form I alluded to.

Eldaena, those are pretty nice.

isnt scalemail series nice?O.O i think that body line looks very sxc~

I really cant believe some of you people that are against it. Your definition for sexy = slutty? oh please... some people need a broader imagination I swear.

You want to see slutty? then take a look at this. you guys can eat your own words, and this is an actual real armor, not a costume. lol http://www.celmansion.com/FFXI/image...607194819a.jpg

Why does everyone make it about "porn" before reading at least 10 other post in the forum. So everytime we get past the "it isn't about porn" or it isn't about sex somebody posts "naw its not about porn" like thats what we've been talking about and makes people new to the thread think there is literally a serious person who wants there to be porno clothes in this game. And speak for yourself, being a girl I don't masturbate to games and porn, but I would like to look how I do in real life, I'm a 135lbs and I'm a size C i'm gonna show off what I got, but not overly slutty. If you think its about porn maybe you should stop fixating on sex and masturbating all day.

I think girls like to show off what they got against other girls when it comes to fashion. if it was to attract guys, they'd have to be naked lol

Exactly, sexy does not have to be slutty.. No where did I say I wanted it. So please read more carefully instead of coming up with false accusations.

When you have guys in your LS that use .dat mods to get the female models naked, and then have other female LS members make off-handed comments about how that's disturbing to them and they'd prefer to avoid that and the other player, then we'll get off the porn argument(no pun intended).

The fact that you don't see it one way(which is great) doesn't mean others don't or won't.

Did you even read what you quoted? The first words are literally "I'm not asking for slutty". The sketches Eldaena presented were pretty good examples of sexy but not slutty.

"Mild provocative" does not fit the defination of what the OP wants to do. The OP doesn't think the outfits are provocative enough.

Well what the OP suggests is only mildly provocative to me.

What about Subligars huh? what about that lol

Square Enix is against sexualy explicit content?

Nothing they ever released was ever at all slightly "Sexy" as people call it.

I just don't see the point of adding that sort of gear for women if men don't get the same treatment otherwise it would just be sexist. Current male gear is so sexless. Even subligar looks like you're wearing a flat tire on yourself.

Here we have a case of "fitting in with the world aesthetic" though. Spira is relatively tropical in many places, and being that Rikku's character is a relatively free spirited young woman, belonging to a relatively pragmatic, open minded and adventurous culture, the outfit actually fits her. Same thing with Paine, Yuna, and the rest of the game's dress spheres(no matter how horrendous I find them personally).

Of course I understand the irony of my position since I like a lot of the music in the game, which doesn't really fit the setting either, so take that with a grain of salt I guess.

SE in general is a big fan of the subligar and that thing is a glorified speedo. People are asking for clothes and armor that make your character look appealing it whatever way you want them to. What some of you consider slutty is seen differently in the eyes of the developers and differently to other players. I want both men and women armor/clothing (not all of it just some new stuff out there) to look stylish and maybe a little more provocative without going overboard. I am going to re-up my idea again I made earlier in the forums so you newcomers can see what I suggested. Quoting myself.

Uldah should have desert attire ranging from the middle east style of dress to other desert type gear (Mad Max anyone. Talking about armor obviously but adding town gear would be nice too). LL would be Naval attire/ swashbuckling gear and Gridania well woods/forest gear. I think by incorporating the design based on region and culture of those areas would probably please everyone and add more options because it does kind of suck running around looking like everyone else all the time. Some diversity would be nice once in awhile.

Leeloo got her star-spangled subligar(diapers) today! She's good to go now...

My first response was to this was admittedly pretty rude.. it was something along the lines of if you want to look sexy do it in real life, if you want to look at something sexy...do it on your own time. On a more understanding note.. I am sure there are ton's of idea's floating around the team on new equipment right up your alley down the road, but is this really what is important to you right now? . . .

Agreed, guys should get the exact same separate but equal treatment.

Are you sure? Because looking at the back of my box, it says:

T
Alcohol Reference
Animated Blood
Language
SUGGESTIVE THEMES
Violence

Think of it like this. We are asking for armor more like that Miqo'te in the Ul'Dah quest series. Is she slutty? no. Is the gear sexier than the majority of player-accessible gear? Yes.

A little cleavage, some leg, and showing of the arms is not going to equate to porn. It's perfectly acceptable to show all of that in public, but somehow, when it's on a video game, it's porn.

Edit: Just saw this addressed.

Here's a picture of a video game character in ANOTHER SE game with a raiting on T.

That's not even what most of us are asking for, but to claim sexier outfits aren't allowed because of the rating is ridiculous.

i like my gear how it is in some ways. and admittedly we do have SOME sexy fem gear. what i'm missing though is some sexy MALE gear.....like a suit...with a tophat and manly shoes with a cane.....nothing big mind you. just a little added polish to my elzens already smexy exterior.

Leaving aside whether it's sexy or not, I'd love a full evening dress tuxedo kind of deal. You know if that's implemented as male only though, the girls will want in on it too. It'd be nice to see a proper dress to match the tuxedo as well, but I can understand the devs focusing more on actual useful armor right now. In any case, I think it'd be nice to see some more "clothes"-y type clothes in this game, since unlike most games there are separate crafting classes for which they'd be somewhat appropriate. Stuff like proper skirts that aren't skorts or dresses for the ladies, and maybe different types of suits for the guys.

The point is, the title asks for "Sexier outfits", but the content of the post asks for nicer outfits, "not stutty". Which is it? Most people in this thread are keying on the title as am I.

This game was designed by a conservative Japaneese sexually diverse coorperation where sexuality is a taboo topic. Don't hold your breath for sexier content.

I'm moving to a new thread. Blast away.

Yeah, Kaine would like to have a word with you. Shes been the first new, intergender Video game character since Poison in Final Fight. Its been 10+ freaking years and SE was the first to introduce a new one. SE isn't as conservative as you think

There is a difference between attractive and pornographic that is being ignored. The OP suggestion's seems to be to have more stylish outfits.
The current outfits do seem a little restrained, but yeah, this thread is being taken to its extremes when it shouldn't have.

This is actually a great example of something that isn't consistent with the game world, so it would look pretty far out of place.

How so? I mean we already have some slightly formal clothing in the coatees for men at least. Wouldn't be that much of a stretch to make a tuxedo. Shoes are shoes. It's not like they're shooting lasers with fish swimming in the bottom of them. Maybe the cane but only because currently canes are used as weapons.

Well the coatees themselves look pretty cool, but to me personally they don't really "mesh" well with everything else we can wear around Eorzea, which seems to have sort of that pre-Victorian era England aesthetic.

I guess it would be fitting if when we see the Garlean Empire, it's sort of that stylistic difference in FFXII between Dalmasca/Nabradia and the more modern Archadian Empire.
