I want to wear other people's underwear!

As much as i want this to happen ( i want the Roe set so bad id actually sell thousands lalafells for it ), it would kind of ruin the point of gear being "race specific" dont you think ?

Well, I suppose it might ruin it. But I don't know if race specific gear is a thing worth having now. Back in FFXI it made sense because you couldn't choose how your gear looked. So different races having a gear set designed just for them helped them to stand out. Now we stand out by glamouring and dyeing our gear to look how we want. I would say that having gear that is unique to one race changed from a positive to a negative when we were given more control over our appearance.

Let's see this happen! You have my support!

You're trying to tell me that no weaver out there has made a different size of these hempen sets? Hopefully this happens in the future!

I agree, we could solve this with an optional racial faction rep grind. The grind should be long and have the achievement of a meer title and unlocked vendor that sells race faction clothes, special glamour prisms, chocobo race faction color patterns, and a bunch of crap you can buy anywhere else

Well, yes. But on the other hand, it's really more "culture specific". I mean, it has been mentioned in Race/Naming info that if you want to, you can give your character a name suitable for another race, and pretend they were adopted by that race. (Paraphrased, since it's a long time since I read that info.) So... if your Lalafell was adopted by Miqo'te, especially early enough to have a Miqo'te name, why would said Lalafell wear Lalafell-culture based clothes? Wouldn't it make more sense for them to wear Miqo'te-culture based clothes?

Same with the hempen set. They could easily make "Elezen Undershirt" and "Midlander Chemise" etc. Genderlocked, but available for all races.

And... holy necrosis, why revive this thread? It's pretty clear why people want to wear other (Highlander) RSE smallclothes... and we can really live without that.

Is it better to revive a thread, or to create an entirely new one? In the latter case, the thread creator would only get to hear, "We've seen threads like this before, why make another one?" *shrugs*

And I disagree. It's not clear why people want to wear other Hempen/Starter gear than that of their own race. For most, it's simply "diversity". For others, it's "the [race] hempen top is the best and would look soooo good on me" (whether it's the miqo'te undershirt, or the highlander set, or the elezen chemise, or the new au ra sets). For a rare few, it's "omnom eye candy" or "mwahaha, I'll creep you out". And it's not only the highlander set people are after either ^^;
In my opinion, the male miqo'te hempen top is still the best "oriental/harem" top, especially if you don't want the hip shawl that comes with the thavnairian vest. (And... while the hip shawl is fine on most races, Auri males have such *cough* "strong thighs" that the shawl only makes my hips appear even more childbearing.)
