Skimpy armor/clothing on females is actually the reason I chose to make my character male.

That and I don't get skeeved on all the time. -.-

Valor is one option, which isnt that feminine (I know OP likes it though) which you can only wear as paladin. Not Warrior, not dragoon, not any future plate wearing class.

Why not some other designs, like some of Ragnarok Online's art?

...Actually I was going to link more but I guess I remembered them being less skimpy than they actually were though, lol. You get the idea though, ignore that its showing so much skin but the general shape of the armor.

Note: This is an EXAMPLE off the top of my head. I dont actually want those RO designs in the game, something a little more serious than that, but less bulky and masculine that what we have already. I think the armor we have in game is fine and shouldnt be changed, but more options for those that want it would be nice

Sad isn't it?

Well, in games like Black desert and Dragon's Dogma, practical armor looks good, and it belongs to the world its in. In XIV though, as the game gets more patches, all of 1.0's designs will look out of place.

doesnt need to be super boob plate, but it would be nice for it to be less manly on females

I don't like using armor myself in my glamours (I like to imagine rather than just deflecting the blows, my character is just very mobile and dodges a lot), but it would be nice to have that option for people that want it to have plate armor more in the shape of a female body. Realistic? No, but there's not a lot that's realistic in this game. I actually like that the designs were more practical in 14 than games like Tera, wear less armor seems to = more def, and every female character is wearing stilettos, but still, options for those who want the armored look without having to go to something like coliseum gear or the harnesses that are, well, kinda skimpy

I actually removed it from my initial post :). I don't mind the current method of glamours being essentially useless for real use because they're terrible armor, but they make a nice option to make patterns for our illusion magic to work with.

Anyway, here is my character looking amazing as a tank :p

I actually like that armor. There's plenty of feminine options out there for glamours. But sometimes we don't want to look girly or cute but actually look like a 'Tank' when tanking. Changing it would take away that option. And I don't think it would be fair, especially since the girly, cute, and feminine options far outweigh the other options.

you'll actually find many of the clothing items that looks different depending on the race wearing, are skimpier on Hyur.....

Agreed. Their are all ready plenty of armors to show off the female body at varying . . . levels? Their needs to be gear for ladies who want to look intimidating when they are tanking, feel less lady-like when a Gigas is trying to crush the hell out of them with a mace. Again there has to be a balance of armor, there are gonna be ladies or creepy nerds playing dress up to make their ideal waifu that want gear that is more skin than metal. There will be the middle ground where people want their armor to look protective but attractive, those who want to look badass, and those who want to look practical.

If anything we need to add more of a selection for practical and 'badass' armors.

you don't look intimidating, but totally ridicule, you look like a barrel... monster are focus on you because they can't stop to laughs!
i still remember a picture with two characters, both with the lorica and fullhead helmet, the most horrible it's... one was male and the other was female... impossible from the picture to know who was what...

Armor must protect, yes, but if the protection hinder the movement of the person it fail to protect it. women are generally more agile than men... then the armor must protect while letting her use her main advantage. be agile!
