Halloween Costume Suggestion [Dev Request]

A skeleton costume! There is a serious lack of skull themed gear in this game. I know there are a few, but it would be nice if we could get a skeleton costume this Halloween. Please and thank you. :p

That sadly wouldn't fly for the Chinese playbase.
China censor anything that show bones in games.

I knew this would be a comment, and that doesn’t matter. Just don’t release it in china. China isn’t a gate keeper of fun for the rest of us. There are skeletons in FFXIV.

Don't get me wrong. I'd love to see more spooky skeletons in FFXIV during halloween.

A proper skeleton costume would be cool! I'd also love a skeleton dance emote to go with it (or something with creaking bones).

(This is legitimately what I had in mind. xD)

I wouldn't mind a "mummy" style costume that consists of white (but dyeable) wraps. If the "boots" were made thigh-high and the "gloves" made at least elbow length I think it could have some really cool potential to be used as individual pieces year-round. The chest would especially need to look like "bandages" (that don't go past the bicep) when worn alone to make it interesting and viable as a single piece. Doing all that would also ensure that it would be a desirable item in the cash shop later.

We do but they're turned into zombies or something to that affect for the Chinese version. So this costume would also probably need to be changed.

Is there some kind of cultural taboo against skeletons in chinese culture?

Im sick of them ruining everything in the rest of the world, and for everyone adhering to them. They are unhinged, and our video game content should not be dictated by what they are afraid of. It's frustrating. Not talking about Chinese people themselves, I am merely talking about the government.
