Feminine Noct Body {Can I have it?}

Hello!

The new soldiery armours are quite pleasant on the eyes. Males look bulky, burly and dapper and females look sexy, vivacious and alluring. That is, those who didn't take up tanking for a profession.

The Noct Armour on females is hideous. When I first equipped the Noct Body I was expecting to see shapely curves like with all other heavy armours. Whilst none of them give that 'Ooh La La' feel that, say, a Bard's Shirt gives, none of them are remotely as bad as the Noct body. It's like there is no female skin for it whatsoever. It's bulky, chunky, it has abs on the chest and it's like the woman beneath has had a mastectomy.

Darklight Body had curves. You knew it was a woman underneath. Noct Body has nothing. Infact, it's almost identical to the Male version. Can you please change this? For good or for bad, a lot of us play female characters for the eye candy. The Noct Armour is so ridiculously hideous on females it's just, well, ridiculous, like I said.

Bards, Monks, Healers and Caster women look great. Heck, even the Dragoons look okay because their plate armour has curves. It's only the women brave enough to take punches to the face for a living that have to either glamour into last season's get up or accept looking like a walking tin can.

The Ashman approves of this post.

Agreed. Don't cheap out and make everything Unisex, SE.

Just accept looking like a tin-can. There'll be some shiny new BiS armor in two months with the next patch and then you can move on with your life and people who want their female characters to not look like eye-candy can have this available for glamouring.

I'll trade you for almost any other high end armor in the game, since they all look like dresses to me :/
I'm pretty much glamouring everything new with the standard Allagan Armor.

I agree. I hated it when I put it on and casted glamour on it right away.

Maybe you should take the parental block off of your computer and stop getting your fix from an MMO :rolleyes:

It's easier to swap out a Weathered Noct Armor than it is to try photo-shopping it onto Petra Nemcova.

Unfortunately I haven't figured out the password yet and I don't want to leave the basement to ask because I might accidentally walk into some sunlight. :(

This makes sense. There is bountiful amounts of super feminine armor (for both sexes actually) in this game, but there is a notable dearth of tough practical looking armor for female models. If we can have a few bits available there will still be a decent range of tough/practical stuff to make glamours with.

Need more male sexiness. Also just better glamours for men. The spring dress looks soooo nice, and the sailor outfit is unisex and not great looking...

From a lore perspective, a curvy, showy armor for a tank would be rather unpractical and unrealistic. You're a first-line knight, you should worry about staying alive, not about being sexually attractive.

For fairness, why does unisex mean the male anatomy is used by default. Kinda defeats the meaning of the word if the male anatomy shaped Noct body is what unisex armors are to exist as. I doubt a female would be able to wear that Noct body in real life looks very uncomfortable for the upper bits. And since the gear seems to cater to one body type- it's not unisex... ~biased unisex.

Fair point, its annoying in general that unisex means masculine. Particularly in RL, guys who don't act masculine are often considered a joke. However we still want some masculine armour for female characters, for the people who want to play a butch female, wouldn't you agree?

I dont know what you would describe as sexy, but personally I think the spring dress is more pretty/beautiful than sexy.
If you are a caster there is a good range of fairly pretty/feminine stuff out there. I dont know what its like for other classes. Its a shame that we cannot wear the other genders clothes (starting outfits, swimming costumes ect) but I suppose they would have to rework them for our models.

Oh, I agree that the spring dress is beautiful not sexy. I should have separated my points there. I want more cool/beautiful glamours for men that seem to have the same care and design as the spring dress.
Then separately, better sexy armors ^_^

I want armor for females. I don't want 'masculine' armor. I want functional armor for females that is shaped for the female body and doesn't look like it pretends breasts don't exist as the WoL body does. That's not unisex. The design of it on females characters looks cheap: "Adjust it to female anatomy?~pshhhh we'll just call it unisex".

Don't you think that there is quite a lot of that available for glamoring already? I am rather pleased with the variety that this game has to offer.

Gonna put two pictures to illustrate what they're trying to say.

What others think they're asking for:

What they're actually asking for:
http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...4/HildeSC4.jpg

They aren't asking to completely change the armor. Just trimming what is ultimately unneeded bulk for aesthetic purposes. (Because if we're talking realism, that armor is not functional without being on a mount.)
