first coatees, then bikinis, and now /pose

[Fensfield]

Well, what I'd like to be next would be some proper summer clothing.

Seriously, would it kill the dev's to give us some civvies? Okay some of the gear's passable, but a friend and I were saying already how much nicer a summer dress and the like would have been than bikinis and trunks..

Ah well.

I'd rather have the few odd looking characters than the clone fest we have now. Then again I imagine a few classes, no control over stats, no control over abilities you equip, and basically the only customization you get is your gear(which everyone wears the same shit anyway, because certain combos are "best") is more up your alley. Why? Because that's how it was in FFXI(or insert uninspiring MMORPG here), am I close?

This guy does have a point, it's like been in clone ville. For the new emote and bikini gear, its just junk to keep the role players happy. Now you can run around in you're swimsuits and pretend its summer and then get blocked by an invisible wall stopping you from going into the sea.

If we're going to have omfgtits everywhere, can it at least be beautiful to look at rather than "The male version has a covering, but the female version has an open chest"

That's just super obnoxious particularly when I'd like to have a few elegant pieces of armour that don't reveal my cleavage. Also, with the way characters are posed so arms don't clip through armour, it's kinda ridiculous with how large some pieces of armour are in comparison to others.

That said, I'd like to see more detailed armour types come out rather than the team focusing so much on recolours for months. I could go without better gear if it meant in 6 months pieces came out that looked like these.

Or really anything from Magna Carta, those are all very charming and far more interesting to look at than multiple recolours of Robes and Gowns. I know that the premise of XIV's armour system was based around multiple parts combined to make many looks, unfortunately the largest part of their designs are the base. A robe will always be a robe. A hauby will always be a hauby. And that gets BORING to look at, especially now. I'm not against this system, but I am against the incredibly boring designs they've implemented thus far.

I'd love to see more final fantasy stylings, particularly if they're going to throw all the design away and just make it focus on the breasts.
AS OBNOXIOUS AS IT IS.

I mean come on SE. ; ; Not all of us females wanna dress like skanks and throw around sexy poses. A few of us want to be the Utena of the game, and be the stylish elegant types.

Take the coatee set for example. That's a perfectly fine style for both male and female, but what did they do instead? Make the bottoms a mini skirt, and the top tit-central. I loved the coatee set on the males, and I think it would gorgeous on the females. It's also a shame as the coatee is the best crafting gear I can get for a few more levels. It's just really ugly and top heavy.

It's possible to make armour for females that's sexy without making it all about breasts. :/ Which is the one thing that bugs the hell out of me about this update, and the coatee sets. Like Terra from FF6, she had a great outfit, and in my opinion it was sexy. Even XI's versions of swimsuits were charming.

But these? When did I teleport out of Final fantasy and wind up in a sports illustrated magazine cover?

You think so? I'm a roleplayer, and pretty much everyone in my shell would rather have civvies and a summer dress, or a nice vest and slacks than this bikini.
I think what you meant to say was "...It's just junk to keep the sexually frustrated teenage boys happy."

I think it's something as simple as that it's just easier for them to make bikinis.

Seeing that the male versions of the swimsuits are just shiny versions of their underpants, I'd have to agree.
Still though, a shiny recolour of female undergarments with a little decoration, change in height or cut, or pattern would have been more desirable than to basically be as good as naked. :/

Like you, I personally prefer a more subtle not so in-your-face kind of sexy. I have a lot of respect for their art direction for FFXI - the way they didn't go down the tacky route by making characters with huge breasts and slutty clothes like most other MMO's.

Yeah. ; ; Even the female dancer outfit wasn't terribly 'sexy'. But because I guess....There's the male version and female version, the direction in difference between the pair, I don't like it. ; A; I'm sorry, but if only they could add the option for females to have the male version as well! I'd like that!
I would like to wear velveteen bottoms like the males, I'm tired of this mini skirt nonsense!

I can't describe how weird it is to wear the Bliaud, and then see that the whole front of the chest is open. It's...weird. I don't mind for some things, but for ALL the versions of it?
It's like, I imagine when we get the black mage armour, there will be a giant triangle cut out of it to show the cleavage lmfao.
Maybe for the coatees if they must, but it's really tasteless. I wish the Devs would tell Yoshida's team about this, to translate to the artists. >_>;

Nah. Next year we'll be getting moogle pasties.
