Race specific gear for all races

It would be nice to have the race specific gear also available for all races, too.

Some pieces are so nice for glamour but sadly restricted to specific races (like the Elezen gloves, Viera boots and so on). What is the reason for having only those restricted?

Ahhhhhh, I can only imagine how my femroe would look

Probably to maintain some small semblance of racial identity.

Honestly, there's probably design philosophy reason to not make them accessible, but rather its the fact that pieces of those sets are only designed with the rigs of the particular races in mind and they just don't see it worth being the time to expand what races each outfit is compatible with, so they keep the whole thing locked behind the race.

Considering the player race is brought up zero times after creation, and there is never another gear set designed with races in mind, i'd hazard a guess that this isn't the reason.

That's sort of what I was getting at, it's the only set in the game that is unique to the race and gender you choose and they may want to keep it that way, but you're probably right they don't consider it worth the time and work either.

I think they said they were open to the different hempen sets being able to be used by everyone, but it's definitely low priority if it's even on their radar at all anymore.

yes please , i would love to wear au ra and lalafell tops on my viera

Female miqo'te in viera sets. Female miqo'te in viera sets everywhere.

If this happened I feel like 80% of players would be running around in the veira set. So that's a no thank you from me. How about we just remove class restrictions from gear instead?

Gawd.

There are so many caster sets that would look great on DNC

How about instead, we get another set of race specific gear

All races share a similiar character model. Au Ra, Hyur and Miqos are the same. Besides their design philosophy there is No reason mit doing it.

But having all variations of the hempen top would be also nice to have.

Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to pass.

No , race specific gear should stay how it is . However i do like to have the other hempen camise/pantalette available to everyone ( female hyur and viera share the same one ) so why not.

Just unlock for same sex? NO

Unlock and unisex-fy? YEEeeSS

Not only all the miqo girls would be running in viera gear. But... everyone. Roe boys in viera gear... 0w0

That's a no for me.
However, I would like more race locked gear sets for glamour. The ones locked to race look better, have better shapes, take into consideration breast slider (whether super flat or super big), and tend to take the race's lore and the location/culture they come from into consideration very heavily.

I would love to see each sub-race get an outfit that goes with their lore.

Nothing wrong with that

For now I would be happy with hempen sets unlocked across all races and MAYBE the idle poses.

More race specific gear not less. Sorry don't agree.

Would be nice if Viera got their own race specific Hempen set and not a hand me down from Hyur.

Don’t you know that “racial identity” in this game is defined by what hairstyles and clothes your character can or can’t arbitrarily wear?

Honestly I'm 100% in the minority but there should be way less restrictions on what can and can't be used for glamor, like I'm all one board with unlocking race specific gear for all race BUT ALSO make all sex-specific gear pieces unisex, boy armor is cool for girls to wear and vice versa, ALSO make all general roles gear useable as glamour (aka caster, healers, etc can all use each other's gear for glamour) so WHM can wear big spooky witch hats or musketeer hats or whatever (namely so my BLM has access to some of the nifty as hell healer versions of gear).

Just less restrictions in general is always 100% better in my books.

It's not like class identity even really matters in this game, plus then the WHMs can glamour their sticks into proper cool looking staffs like us BLM have, sick and tired of glowy sticks and angel wings? Slap on a Kaladanda Lux and play the evil spooky healer you've always wanted to be!

Hempen underclothes? Yes. Unlock them. The Viera and Hrothgar don’t have unique sets. So why not unlock everything?

Starter clothes? Nah. No explanation for this one. Just: "Nah."

Personally I just want to see more outfits that have proper tail holes like they did with early outfits. Think of the default Miqo'te underwear. I know it's impossible to do in bulkier outfits but the slimer things would be nice to have.

Also, I'm not saying anything against this thread, I love a lot of these ideas, but there's something that irks me about no tail holes lol!

My preference is to keep the racial clothes unique to each race, same with most job sets as well. I’m ok with hempen sets being shared but I do like being able to see the role or race a player by their clothing.

I'd agree with this if we didn't have bathing suits, frog suits, chocobo suits, moogle suits, and other joke items and casual wear.

AF gear and weapons should be off limits, maybe racial gear too, but everything else I don't see a problem with if they were to unlock it as glamour.

We talked about this already. The community rep gave our feedback to the devs. The devs said no.

This was 3 years ago.

He's talking about the hempen sets. Viera and Hrothgar share theirs with Midlander/Roe.

Could definitely use the au ra hempen camise though.
