Starting outfit question

Just wondering if there's been word on them making them universal. I like the Miqo'te outfit, but was thinking of switching to Midlander.

No. It's race specific and is the only set that is exclusive to both race and gender so its fine as is but what we need is an option to dye them.

the starting outfits will be able to be worn by other races at the same time a BLM will be able to wear the DRG AF armor.
Which is to say, never.

Race, Gender, and Class restrictions need to go. There is no logical reason why a Lalafell can't wear the Roe racial gear or a Miqo'te can't wear the Hyur racial gear.
(I'm sure someone's going to say something about the size difference between Lalafell and Roe but that's what the weavers guild is for.)

You can also get all the different sets from same vendor that sells gysahal greens in each main city. So changing race doesn't exclude you from having a race/gender appropriate set.

There is the fact that miqo'te starter gear is their traditional attire but it being race exclusive is kind of debunked by Lightning wearing the set she was given.. unless she actually turns in to a miqo'te

I am no Final Fantasy expert, but I always believed that each Final Fantasy game played out in it's own world and were never really connected, just had alot of references between each others for fans to enjoy.

Personally, I think more gender and racial locked gear should be made, not less.
I enjoy seeing variety, and if a few sets of gear comes out and there's one obvious kickass one that looks much better than others, you can expect to rarely, if ever, see the other sets being worn. Rep your race harder and enjoy the things that's only for you!

They are, but supposedly now that whole thing with Lightning being able to wear the miqo'te gear in the last game she is in is because she received the outfit from a miqo'te during her questline on xiv XD so.. yay for kinda canon crossovers

According to this video that shows how to get the outfit, she gets it from some Chocobo girls, which indicates that Lightning herself did not get it with her back during the Lightning Returns event. Also the male voice say; "Well, you got your hands on a rare garb. The Miqo'te are a legendary race said to live in another realm." Since we know FFXIV exists we know it's true, but if we go In-character they don't and it's just a fairy tale. So that outfit could just be something someone made from hearing that said tale, like for cosplay.

But like I said, I am no FF master, FFXIV is the first FF game I've ever played.
