Edit the Lorica feminine costume

[Almalexia]

Noct lorica is modeled after http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_cuirass: a Classical, idealized representation of the (male) human body. You're not a Greek hero until you let it all hang out.

That's not to say female bodies can't have idealized representations--just not in not in a T-for-teen MMO.

I don't really see any issues with the Lorica, if it isn't for you then move on. I believe they need to have a nice mix of all types of armor. Practical, showy, realistic, skimpy. But asking to change one piece of armor because it doesn't show you have some tits under there is a bit outlandish. I still to this moment have all my gear glamoured to look like Valor, because at the moment its my preference. Some ladies might prefer how the Lorica looks and I can appreciate that, a piece of armor that doesn't sexualize female characters at all. That's good. It's options for ladies that don't want to walk around in plate mail that shows off their thighs and has their cleavage hanging out.

SE should keep doing what they do and make a mix of visually appealing armor for as many tastes as possible, no matter how immersion breaking it is.

Just glamour it with the Hullbreaker body... that chestpiece is just so much cooler looking in general.

We're not really going into battle in swimsuits, it's an illusion that we cast over actual armor .

Right, and if we can use that to make our armor look like swimsuits, why is there no armor like the OP is asking for to glamour with?

I don't like using armor myself in my glamours (I like to imagine rather than just deflecting the blows, my character is just very mobile and dodges a lot), but it would be nice to have that option for people that want it to have plate armor more in the shape of a female body. Realistic? No, but there's not a lot that's realistic in this game. I actually like that the designs were more practical in 14 than games like Tera, wear less armor seems to = more def, and every female character is wearing stilettos, but still, options for those who want the armored look without having to go to something like coliseum gear or the harnesses that are, well, kinda skimpy

It's a shame, because not every SE artist is like that. Bravely Default managed to have a very fantasy enriched art style without being overly excessive, and we have Yoshida's vision to thank for that. I wish he'd come back. I think this game could benefit from his fairy tale style.

It is a shame really. In pretty much any other MMO, when I got a better piece of gear I was thrilled both for the stats and the look...

In FFXIV... I've been glamouring over endgame armor for ages.... simply because.. well... there's too much crap to it.

Oh well.

Eh ... that article didnt really prove anything. Not saying its wrong but simply saying that it wont work because 'I say its science' doesnt really show anything. Regardless its a game, I doubt any of the armor in this game would pass medieval safety inspection unless its for some ceremony or something. The armor the OP wrote about probably wont "deflect blows" very well either yet its still sculpted as a male chest. All OP would like is to not look like a guy.

There is. I don't know why she keeps saying you can't glamour Valour over Noct, because you can. >.>

Soo glad I play a Lalafell. No breasts to worry about when it comes to choosing decent armor!

With how 2.0+ armor is flashy and high fantasy-ish, I don't see why not give the ladies fancy curvy armor.In a world where Allagan/ST/AF2/High A/Sol. armor is becoming the norm, most of 1.0's practical armor looks out of place.

I think we need *more* practical-looking armor. But Yoshi seems to want to go with the 'normal' fantasy MMO route and make crazy-looking armor. At least the armor on women doesn't get skimpier as it gets stronger, like on most asian MMOs.
