Starting Clothes Available for All Races

I'd love to glamor my gear with the starting clothes for races not my own - some are really cool and go totally unused. Please make all starting clothes available for all races and I promise the game won't become unbalanced. Ty!!!

Those are racial clothes, so unlikely.

they already have that, im certain... could have sworn i was looking at roe clothes for my newly phantasia'd beauty of a femroe

edit: after re-reading the OP, i dont think that will happen for cross-race clothing.

If they aren't called racial clothes then they aren't. Simple.

I dunno maybe add some more racial clothing in? Since glamour is fully in game now, a lot of people are taking advantage of it including myself, more race specific clothing would be cool to see, or maybe some kind of armor system like what first eq had for each race, make it a level 50 race specific set that is available to any job and be some kinda really cool quest to get..... or I could stop suggesting something neat....

Whilst they're not specifically called RSE, they are. Their entire design is a reflection of that particular race/gender.


That's Race Specific Eqipment, similar to FFXI;
http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Ra...ific_Equipment

It was designed as a way to give new adventuers in ARR a distinct look from everyone else their particular race, rather than giving them starting out Hepmen Gear Sets (like 1.0 did).

Instead of having 20 people running around with the same Hempen body piece, there's a chance for variation.



The reason they won't adjust this, is that it would require going back to the source material and making huge adjustments per individual race which is a heavy time consuming process with a 5 races each with two genders, that's a total of 10 different armour sets to adjust across 8 variations, that's an insane amount of work for something originally designed to be race specific.


FFXIV ARR although the game is split into various "team" working on different content, eg.

Patch 2.3 Team
Hotfixes/Bugs Team
2.4 Team
Expansion Team (etc)

To do something like this would take away from the current 3-month development cycle, which is still a very very short time to get anything done already.

Once the graphics have been finalised for something, they move onto the next "thing to be done", they're not particularly fond of going back and adjusting it.

I'd be happy if they just let us dye our own RSE to be honest.

Considering when they were introduced by SE, they were indeed called Racial clothes. So, yeah, they are.

Not exactly similar reasons - those gloves are already modeled for all races, whereas the RSE isn't. In the eyes of the devs, it's likely not worth it to create brand new models for the RSE, whereas making the crafting pieces available for everyone is probably something like changing a flag so that it no longer restricts other classes. (The non-class-specific crafting gear is already for all classes anyway, what's the difference with a few new pieces?)

remember that all the armor sets are individually designed for each race. Lalafell and miqo'te outfits alone are drastically different from the proportions of other races, with the stumpy legs, tails, and ears.

I can see why you would want this, but I'm personally in the other camp. If anything I would like more race specific gear.

I feel like our choices in this game don't amount to much (All races and guardian deities have almost identical stats for example), so I appreciate it when our choices actually change things for us, like how our grand company gives us unique gear. I appreciate how there are at least a few pieces of equipment that have restrictions to them based on our decisions, like race.

There are certain pieces of other races that I wouldn't mind being able to wear, but I understand it would be difficult for them to go back and modify things at this point. However, someone else mentioned the ability to dye our starting outfits, which I would totally be in favor of doing. Silly brown boots would look much better if they were black. >_<

You seem to be an ESL student so I'll rephrase that - the only reason they're 'racial clothes' is because they've been so named. If they were called 'starting gear' then they would be starting gear. I get they were designed around races - that's why it would be fun to mix it up. Or don't you like variety?

I like that some equipment is race specific. I'd like to see them bring over something similar to the FFXI racial equipment as an homage.

More like EFL, and better than most, thanks. And no, they're racial clothes because people ASKED for racial specific starting gear before ARR even went into alpha.

I would like to see the Hempen Camise which is usable by all races, to have all of its versions available for all races.

This is a terrible idea because of the Highlander RSE smallclothes... Heck, I don't even agree with them on Highlanders.

There is nothing wrong with races having exclusive Gear, We can't all have everything. It's nice being able to pick out gear that will only show that way on your race, And i hope they bring more, if you really want that specific races gear, then pick that race...
