I wanted to drop a line and formally request the the developers for FFXIV consider adding traditional Irish-Scottish attire to the game such as kilts and sashes. I've spent the last few years really embracing my ancestry from these regions and I think it would be a thematically appropriate set of glams to add (especially for Highlanders). You could even have different dyes coincide with specific real-life clan tartans for added value for those who also want to celebrate these cultures. Please consider signing the attached petition and please Square, if you're reading this, let me know if this is something you'd consider in the near future!

If they did something like this (which would be super cool) . . . how the heck are they gonna decide what the pattern on the kilt is?
Are they gonna cook up a generic meaningless one?
Model it after an existing clan's pattern?
Perhaps... if I were to dream... let players make their own?
The New World set exists, so I see no reason this can't / shouldn't add this too. I'd only be quite curious to see how they'd realize it and I'd LOVE to see how it dyes.
(Also, I'm not sure why, or if you can do anything about it, or what I might have done, but that link is giving me a version of Change.org in Japanese?) -

Within Ireland and Scotland there are actually standard plaid patterns called tartans that historically represent various clans. Each of these has a unique plaid pattern tied to them. Check out the links below for some brief lists of tartans. And I love your idea to potentially create custom patterns for players down the road!

01-09-2021, 02:36 AMAvatreI'm not entirely sure(being born and raised in Canada, just knowing that I do have Scottish and Irish heritage), but I think that that vast majority of tartans are just the typical plaid you would see used for a girls skirt, or a button up shirt.Quote:

I just know for a fact there is no way to get the colours right for my clan. We don't have the right shade of orange in game. -

Eh, since I dress my Mechanist and Red Mage as a soldier, I would prefer something more modern, like a Glengarry Cap.

Which 1.0/2.0 leveling gear is this? -
01-10-2021, 02:54 AMLihtleitaThe appearance of tartan kilts in ireland before the late 1800s nationalist movements is heavily debated. Most clothes before that era were reflections of the class people were in, thus potato sack clothes.Quote:

edit: much like my eyebrows, scottish and irish cultures are sisters and not twins. I have no objection to scottish glams being added to the game, go nuts, i hope you get your request. -
01-10-2021, 03:06 AMItMeSure but in this thread we're specifically asking for tartans and sashes. Not just any clothing Irish/Scottish people have traditionally worn.Quote:

Agree, and support. One of my favourite things about Shadowbringers were the bits of Celtic/Gaelic culture thrown in here and there. More representation of it in terms of glamour would be great.
Can never have too much Celtic in our Fantasy video games.
