Yoshi P and team I am severely disappointed in you guys. Logged in this morning after work and say the Christmas event was "excited" to see what the Christmas outfits were since most games even WoW go a little risque and XIV hasn't exactly been super modest at times.
So I logged in and tracked down the fate to get enough eternal ice crystals to buy the tunic. Needles to say I was very disappointed when I put it on and it was actually a top of a Santa suit and not some skimpy Christmas outfit like every other game in existence has done. Especially when considering where this game is from. Needless to say, Yoshi and team I am disappoint :(

I love all the Christmas clothes and barding.

Well I would consider a little risque as in the fact your not wearing any pants.

The real disappointment here, is this thread.

The outfits are boring... -shrugs- We get coal this year, whatever. Enjoy the fake snow that leaves no frost, nor icing on any surface.

I actually have had a couple of my female FC mates complain about the designs for some of the gear. Particularly all of the caster gear. In their words almost all of it looks "Amish". The only thing they like is the Direwolf gear with the skirt lol.
I get that SE is trying to be more politically correct, especially with their history of character designs. However, there is a point where you go too far and the modesty is almost sexist in itself. -

GOOOOOOOOOOO0000D
if anything, female clothes in video games need more fully clothed options and LESS of that "risque" stuff developers seem to love -
12-19-2013, 04:02 PMFMElan...Um...it's not sexist. Because 90% of the female gear is the same as the male gear. That's pretty much the opposite of sexist. It's equality.Quote:

There are some cute things like snowmen with strawberrys for eyes outside the CUL guild, and the little metal stars you see around? You can see where they're being made in the arm/bsm guild. Its really cool they put that much thought into such a small event.Quote:

I'm probably missing a good amount. -

I don't think this game could top TERA when it comes to risque event outfits anyway, you should play that for your eye candy OP.
-
12-19-2013, 04:22 PMJuran
So you are upset that the gear design in this game is tasteful and not vulgarly objectifying women?

He also thinks that the Japanese are insatiable sex fiends and all of their media focuses on nothing but this. We know this because of The Internet, a bastion of unbiased truth and clarity that absolutely does not have a massive fixation on pornography. The fact that we don't get porntastic fetish Christmas clothes is a bizarre and worrying anomaly, in light of this cultural truth.
So, you could call that being sexist and racist. Or you could simply call it a bad post. Because it's a bad post. -

12-19-2013, 05:03 PMJuranThe human psyche in general is terrifying most of the time. The reality is that our entire society is held together by mostly fear and shame.Quote:

I think you are all being a little morbid over the idea that someone wants to see some more skin.
-
12-19-2013, 05:30 PMDeceptionsWrathI agree, and there is a reason our characters were designed to be slim with a more appealing look. God forbid someone wishes to see their female character in anything other than clad steel and full body robes right? :pQuote:

Not only that, but it is directly stated that they would rather a derivative 'sexy snowbunny' outfit rather than something tasteful and well designed.Quote:

I like the costumes (the FATE confused me though, so I didn't get anything :()
It's winter. People should be wearing clothes. Not running around Coerthas in a harness and subligar. -
12-19-2013, 05:50 PMEmeraldSerenade
The OP probably wants something like this

I do too :D -
12-19-2013, 05:51 PMSarcasmMisser
I agree this is the wrong game to play for that sort of art direction.
^Yeah TERA is definitely the game for that. Don't post the Halloween outfits lol. -
12-19-2013, 05:54 PMSeezur_UndiesTera lets there 5yos looking playable (elins) race dress like sluts...Maybe that game is more your speed?Quote:

Personally I want outfits that are tasteful, not the overwhelming amount of potato sacks I keep getting...
Basically, it doesn't have to be super revealing to be good looking, but it also doesn't have to be so covering and shapeless as to make a nuns habit look revealing... -

I honestly don't want TERA level holiday cloths because this isn't TERA, but I at the same time don't want what we have considering every piece of female armor is a full on tin cna suit, or something you'd see a nun wearing. What I wanted and why I'm disappointed is because of doing something like every other single MMO and having their Christmas outfit follow the general template of a top(not a bra), showing midriff, and a skirt SE decided to be as politically and femnazi correct as they possibly could be and gave us another nun outfit with full balls that happens to be dyed red. and to me this outfit isn't tastefull or well designed its a cop out to people like the ones posting in here.
There's a difference between what we have and TERA and it would be nice if any of you could acknowledge that without jumping to the extreme and then trying to dismiss another opinion just because it hurts your sheltered mind that someone might enjoy something different from you when he or she has to stare at the same pixels for what will eventually equate to months of time. Also if I really wanted to see "overly erotic like TERA" clothes outfits I'd start up my TERA client and log in.
This. there's a way to be risque and still be tasteful. I honestly don't get why people can't grasp this simple concept that we can show a midriff here or there and have a skit be shorter than the ground without suddenly becoming a pr0n MMO.Quote:

OP I don't really disagree with you and I guess I agree some midriff would look nice but it's a weird thing to get worked up over, which is probably why people have responded in such a way.
It was honestly my first thought when I saw the santa outfits as well, that it would be nice if it was a little less conservative but the thought ended there. Mostly overshadowed by the fact that this event was yet another stupid FATE driven event and god I am sick of them. -

12-19-2013, 06:31 PMFelisYour complain is 3 years too late. The santa suit is from 2010 and it is from Tanaka's team.Quote:

Ring the bell, get the event mats, hunt down the other mats you need, craft your suit.
Or would you also complain that Yoshida bring the old event gears in the new events so the players on the new servers can also get the old event gears? -

As the Japanese don't actually celebrate Christmas maybe you should consider yourself lucky you got anything at all :)
