Can we get female outfits that are a little sexier?

I really don't want or need to get tarted up for a night on the Ul'dah merchant strip.
And if I see armored heels in this game, someone is gonna die. Slowly.

As an adventurer (really just a nice word for mercenary) I want gear made with killing in mind; not gold digging. If people want a few costumes or something to wear around town, then whatever. For serious gear options though, let's keep it all practical. Fighting in skirts and bikinis is a joke.

Tell that to the Dragon Quest IX and most korean MMO dev teams.

I personally think that the current heavy armor is fine for females (a chainmail skirt with pants underneath may be a nice touch for female characters). But I do think that some of the cloth armor could be a bit sexier.

Now I do not mean bikini style clothing, I just mean maybe just some dresses instead of robes some skirts (to the knees) instead of pants. A bit of sexy, but none of the skimpy, boobs everywhere stuff. Because, really heavy armor is mostly about function, but cloth armor is basically clothing, and I'm sure a female character may very well like to wear something that would look nice from time to time.

Aye. Nothing more ridiculous than fighting lizard men with lightning bolts from your hands in miniskirts. It totally destroys realism!

I'm not asking for slutty, and I realize that SE made an aesthetic decision for more or less practical designs, however that said would it be too much to ask if we have some outfits for females that look kind of nice and maybe a little sexy?

For example some nice looking dresses would be great. Or how about some skirts that don't have pants included.

YES PLEASE

As a real life female, born that way lol, I would like some "flashier" mage gear. You can find sexy gear if you go to a dd job, but for mages there is boring, I dont even want sexy I want something better than ho hum mage gear. Not everyone who plays a mage in this game wanted to look like a blm :/

So you want colored trim and designs, maybe trinkets and such attached to your clothing, and a big pointy hat that says wizzard. That would be nice.


Oscillate Wildly, that's one of the things I was trying to get at in my OP, but not conveying the point well enough it seems. To me there's a difference between sexy and slutty (showing lots of skin). But as a guy, tits are nice too.


Remnant wolf, you just gave me an idea, what if more sexy armor or items had protection ranges that fell in between normal armor and attire? For example an armored chest piece that a part the midriff area has normal clothing instead of armor; give it 70% of the difference between a full armor piece and a normal clothing piece. Notice I mentioned it being cloth instead of bare skin.

Ah, I see. I understand. Something form-fitting then? I'd like to see more feminine versions of pre-existing equipment.

Take for example the current robes. or gowns? If for women they could raise the hemline from the ankles to the knees, and making them poofier, that'd be really sweet. Mage hats with big feathers coming out of the base, and dangley bits of chain on the sleeves.

Something shorter like this, as a rough sketch of what I'm talking about.

Something girly and sweet, a variety for females and males alike. ): So not to seem gender biased. I'm certain many men are find with their robes the way they are, but all the same I bet there are a few out there who would like a more masculine looking mage.

Screw realism, I just don't want to look like an insecure 16 year old girl while I kick some ass :P

I will have to say that fighting in skirts and bikinis for Miqote is not a bad thing because of mobility. Fits the race they are cat like in not only looks, not really known for strength but their dexterity and agility. Even though I do agree a Gladiator shouldn't be wearing a bikini it just doesn't bode well.
