[SPOILER Discussion] Tataru's WoL outfit?

SPOILER WARNING: Below this line is spoilers!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So after Tataru "violated" the WoL when do you think she may give us her own personal outfit design?

This was found in the new FFXIV art book so i am just guessing this is the outfit Tataru may give us.

Seems very likely to happen, but I'd like to get something a bit more.... epic?

The outfit looks a tad too casual, though it makes sense given that it's made by Tataru.

Now I feel doubly violated. That is a terrible outfit.

I don't really get why our scion outfit is just a school uniform....

Not sure how people see a school uniform there. What I see is an outfit combining aspects of the Sharlayan aesthetic, as seen in Shire gear, Alphinaud and Alisae's new looks, as well as Y'shtola's look.

I like it. It's not what I would've wanted or expected, but I like it.

It looks a bit too anime school student to me but I imagine that's the appeal for a lot of people. More junk for the armoire I guess! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My guess is they're going for what they think will appeal to most players since whatever they produce won't appeal to everyone.

I'm not a fan of this design (especially as it seems so similar to Alphinaud's outfit while Y'shtola and Alisae got unique looks) but the fact that the book calls it "Scion Adventurer's" gear is pretty strong evidence.

Part of me still hopes we'll get a number of options in order to appeal to more players but I doubt it.

That design would look pretty bad on fem Highlander, fem Roe, male Highlander, male Roe, possibly male Midlander too depending on stuff like facial hair/hairstyle...idk. You'd think for something labeled "WoL/Scion gear" the artist would have worked harder at making it look good on all races, not just Miqo/Au Ra/Lala. I get those are the most-played races, but come on. It's a school uniform with some extra bits and bobs. I know the art team can do better than that.

Considering Miqo'te and Au Ra are the most popular of the races, is anyone really surprised that they'll always ensure gear looks good on them and that the other races are secondary? :/

Because Japan. It's a staple of jp media it seems. I mean look at nearly any anime, adverts, j-pop, other games and even other ff titles. Japan seems obsessed with the school uniform, at least from a western perspective.
