Edit the Lorica feminine costume

[actionjackson83]

I just glamour the arm armor to cobalt gauntlets and cobalt sabatons (with no dye) and it makes the armor fit that much better. Try it!

I, like others in this thread, prefer each piece of gear to not be radically different between male and female wearers. By which I would mean I'd like as little difference as possible.

It's one of the things I liked most about this game. I groaned when they first introduced Coatees, when they gave DRG AF the 'stab me right where it's guaranteed to kill me' midriff and the WHM mini-skirt.

The more neutral, realistic (ish) gear design back then extended to the weapons too. No glowy lightsabers of death, no axes larger than a character's torso etc.

But it's all being replaced with more and more gender-dimorphic gear, more revealing mini-skirts, more sailor outfits and more big glowy axes of doom.

Come on SE, I thought you respected us more than that.

Couldn't you make boobies?

Only Mother Nature and plastic surgeons have that power.

you don't look intimidating, but totally ridicule, you look like a barrel... monster are focus on you because they can't stop to laughs!
i still remember a picture with two characters, both with the lorica and fullhead helmet, the most horrible it's... one was male and the other was female... impossible from the picture to know who was what...

Armor must protect, yes, but if the protection hinder the movement of the person it fail to protect it. women are generally more agile than men... then the armor must protect while letting her use her main advantage. be agile!

And there is armor like that if you want to look mobile. Warrior armor is loose fitting leather armor to absorb blows an give freedom of movement with metallic plates to deflect attacks. Valor is a loose fitting scale mail with plating to protect the shoulders and hands. Some people want to look like a walking fortress, it is still a game after all. Mechanically PLD's aren't relying on their ability to be agile and dodge to tank and survive they are depending on armor and mitigation. Why can there not be armor where you can't tell if its a male or female? Does it matter? Should the first thing you be looking for are tits on your tank?

I think something like this would be good.

Sexy, but not skeevy.

I've not been a fan of breastized armor and am glad the Lorica and the Heavy Allagan Armor exist. I would have said the Armor of Light, but I feel like a clown. A very heroic clown that wants to protect friends.

[Dijana]

you were probably referring to the crusader set

Ha, probably. I opened up the rune knight or whatever it was called, remembering that was really cool with the coat look, then realised what the female character was wearing beneath it. I guess my memories of RO armor is skewed since the little 2D sprites kind of left a lot to the imagination

Yeahhhhh. The Coatees make me roll my eyes, but the DRG armor made me pull a flat out "wtf?"

i use the war attire from the 2.3 dungeon... you know we don't talk about have sexy armor... but normal armor that look adapted to women. here it's simply idiot, i'm sorry but that true, you can put almost 2 miqote into the breastplate. a point that seems to be missed a lot, the fact that this armor contract the breasts of the character, litteraly it's squeeze it to nothing. it's cool to look like a fortress... but i prefer my character to be able to breath.

about the fact that we need to be able to differentiate a male from a female it's mostly because, the two are different in the gesture and and movement, what will look nice on male will look idiot on female, another point too, the two sexe have different morphology... then the armor must be adapted to that morphology. here the lorica (like the guardian armor from ST) are simply male model put on the female character. i'm sorry, but it can't work, any armorer will say to you that the armor must be adapted to the body of the person that will wear it. we don't ask for see tits or any sexy part... but to have armor adapted to the female on the female... not get a lazy male model for the female.

ps: what i gonna say here it's extremely important:
it's not because we can glamour that they must be lazy and don't offer us the armor we deserve. it's not a valid escuse, i'm sorry, but the lorica and the guardian armor from ST are simply bad and ugly on women!

Wish they did have more revealing armor for males and females since not everyone was all wearing full body armor. As people all love to think.
