Why hasn't there been the ability to dye starting clothing?

The Elezen gown is beautiful, but the black can be conflicting (the white can be at times too, depending on the glamor). I'd /kill/ (jk, maybe) to be able to obtain an Augmented Elezen Gown/ Tights to dye

Same reason I can't get cross-class glamours of crafter AF, I guess.

Seriously though, both would be pretty great ideas. I would actually wear my hyur gear more if I could dye the shirt.

It might just be an oversight, but I'm sure being able to dye these clothing would be an appreciated addition.

I guess they just dont want us to? Or there haven't been a thread with enough views/responses that talks about this specifically.

Still, would be nice to dye the hyur shirt :(

I'd LOVE to dye the miqo'te skirt and shoes. I constantly talk about this in my FC, how I wish we could dye racial gear. I hope SE will at least take it into consideration at some point, as it'd be nice to get to dye them just like we can the hempen gear.

There's actually been several threads that have stayed on front page of new posts for quite a while.

You pose this in the Letter From the Producer question thread that's currently up?

Oh, nice idea! Will do~

I wish I could wear other racial clothings tho D:

One odd reason i could think of tht SE would do this cuz they wanted it to be iconic , the black, white, blue, brown, red look that says hey guysssss i just started playing! It also works for good crossover iconic gear in other games like lightning returns mi'qote starter gear.
Ppl who played ffxivarr will instantly be like hey i know dat look! Is what i assume SE is trying to achieve. Also they seem to like to preserve weird systems.

maintaining "iconic" image was their reasoning behind not making af gear dyable back then. Now we can dye af, FF13 (no body asked for it) and also the darklight gear
