Please do NOT alter Dark Knight AF for female characters.

I'm never not gonna be over the DRG af (also as always these threads manage to demonstrate incredible bouts of sexism and misinformation, a+ guys).

Please

Awesome looking armor.
Do NOT ruin it by incorporating needless skimpyness for females!

Although I don't think it's necessary, all the tank gear that I've seen at max level (Probably all tank exclusive gear) is well covered.

[LittleArrow]

I completely agree! I like to keep covered up when giant monsters are swinging massive weapons at me!

But fan service is fun. Why else would anyone play a loldrg?

I didn't want to read through 14 pages of people's opinions so I'll just add my own.

I like the look of the concept art. I, personally, have never been keen on exposed mid-riffs in armors on females. It's just not practical.

[Taika]

Yes please. And yay for the massive support for the OP!

[Mahri]

Yes please. And yay for the massive support for the OP!

It's weird. I expected the trolls but never figured there'd be so much agreement (well, going by 'likes'). Whatever the ultimate outcome and even amidst differing opinions, I think it's fair to say that the community really does have a sense of taste and appreciation for the art aspect of the game, which is nice.

While I'm sure the artists have long since finalized their decision since last October, feel free to bump it.

Very well. 'Tis only fair. :3

In more seriousness than my thread, I agree with you in principle.

I, too do not want the midriff cut out.

Nor, for that matter, do I, as well, want any portion of my legs, hips, or cleavage bared.

Cheesecake and sexiness on both genders is definitely welcome, and occasionally very amusing, and it should not have any place in designing a female variant of DRK armor.

However, I do not want to wear male armor on my female character. I want a bust on my armor, not because of any issues with realism or immersion, but because it makes my silhouette recognizable as a female. I do not want to wear a tin can that makes my character unrecognizable from any other tin-can wearing character. I want to wear cool-looking clothing, and I don't want to be excluded from wearing that cool-looking clothing just because it does not look cool on a female character, as is the implication of those who would tell me to glamour it away if I don't appreciate it.

I do not agree with any statement that presupposes that "female" armor, simply by virtue of being armor that females are expected to wear, must be sexy or exposed or daring. I only want my female armor to be just as cool, just as iconic, and just as all-covering as the male armor, with a flair for minor differences in style. I only want to be able to see the screenshots of male and female characters side by side and not have to wonder which is which.
