Has anyone ever seen? I assume it would be different model than the Hyur one, but it may be the same too since I haven't seen any concept art or any screenshots at all on Highlander race specific gear.
Did anyone ever see, or has any information about this? I feel left out and perhaps they've forgotten about us.
I have never seen highlander race specific gear?

Not much love for the Highlanders in general. . . . They're rarely seen on promo stuff like posters/panels, cards etc. and we have to pry the concept art from SE hands with pliers. The eyebrowless cousins of Midlanders never have it easy ._. Doesn't help that the Ul'dah GC leader, who in fact is a Highlander, has been made to be such an unmemorable character. On the other hand, there Hildibrand, but people seem to be over him already. . . .

No, don't remember seeing any race specific gear for Highlanders, though they are Hyur (as in <race>) so don't be surprised if you'll share the same clothes as the less beefy of us. -

Whatever it is, i'm sure it will look terrible so that people will have one more silly thing to complain about.

Judging by the image shown for the female highlander, I think all hyurs share the same race gear.
The top she was wearing looked like the one the midlander female was seen with. -

Yeah, highlanders share the same starter gear as Midlanders since they're both clans of the same race. If they gave highlanders their own specific gear, I guarantee people would throw a fit unless SE gave every clan it's own unique gear, and that'd come out to being ten sets of starter equipment as opposed to the five.

Highlander would wear the same as the Midlander. They are the same race after al.
And SE didn't say anything about tribe gear. -

Fun fact: 1.0 Highlander underwear is different than 1.0 Midlander underwear (for those who forgot) :p

Oh no, I thought being eyebrowless we would get special compensation having our own RSE gear. I agree we are still Hyur, but the body type and size is different, so it's not like Seeker of the moon versus keeper of the suns.

02-17-2013, 10:27 AMNuinnI do agree with you. . . . I feel the missing link between Midlanders and Roegadyn deserves more recognition :3Quote:

It looks too civilized and garish for Highlander's lifestyles. Highlander, to me, is almost the 6th race; the most different looking than the other subcategories of the other 4 races.Quote:

Ever from the begining of FFXIV I've felt like SE made 2 very different model types for Hyur males (Midlander & Highlander) and they couldn't decide which to use in game so they came up with an idea to make one of them a separate clan.Quote:

When I saw the Colisseum gears, it gave me ideas.
Since Highlanders are mostly sellswords and merceneries that used to live in mountains, I expect them to support cold weather but not heat. Living now in cities, they shouldn't wear something that covers too much skin. I ended up thinking about a desert like scarf/cape covering the shoulders or somekind of fur scarf/cape for the body leaving the arms and most of the torso uncovered (something like what Piccolo wears in Dragonball Z). For the legs, some kind of big skin belt or fur with normal lightweight pants covering the knees completely but stopping after that. For the feet, heavy skin or fur boots. For the gloves, fingerless linen-like gloves reinforced on the backhand with hard leather or scales making them flexible and protected. For the hat, you can use a turban for the desert RSE or a fur hat for the fur RSE but anyway, you all know that Highlanders prefer to show their head completely.
To resume:
Desert-Sellsword-RSE
Head: Turban or nothing at all
Body: Scarf/cape-like cloak in cloth covering shoulders (most of torso uncovered)
Hands: Linen-like fingerless gloves reinforced with shells
Legs: Big leather belt with knee-covered half-pants
Boots: Coeurl-skin boots
Mountain-Mercenary-RSE
Head: Fur hat or Wolf/Bear head hood or nothing at all
Body: Scarf/cape-like cloak in fur covering shoulders (most of torso uncovered)
Hands: Linen-like fingerless gloves reinforced with hard leather
Legs: Big leather&fur belt with knee-covered halfpants
Boots: Leather&fur boots
So, what do yo think?
**For those wondering... it's a Dragonball drawing but it illustrates my point even though the cape I'd want would definitely be very short and the rest of the torso would be uncovered **

02-17-2013, 02:05 PMShiobanFFXIV, uses normal mapping and lighting tricks to give us nice smooth looking characters with a few knobbly bits here and there. This lets us see lots on the screen at one time. (Low poly count = Higher FPS = More Models on screen)Quote:

It looks easy, but its not...getting it just right requires work. But DAM would it be nice...
FFXIV 1.0 did have physics for cloth, but nothing to the extent of long-clothed free flowing objects. -
02-17-2013, 02:16 PMIronSoupA cape is indeed something amazing but hard to implement ( I can still hope for it... lol). A drape could also work instead of a cape (just covering the neck and shoulders). Easier to do but still stylish.Quote:

Highlanders in Midlander starting gear just gonna look odd...
Which is probably why you never see highlander concept art... -
02-17-2013, 09:34 PMNuinnAlthough a kilt would be great, don't forget that Midlanders get their own stripper boots as starting gear :3Quote:

They look the same to me, though the Highlandress only shows the back of the outfit. -
