first coatees, then bikinis, and now /pose

[zaviermhigo]

When its summer i wear a bikini, its summer right now and i'm in damn nevada and its hot, when i'm in thanalan maybe my character wants to rock a bikini by the fountain. Some people are haters, but seriously bikinis are nothing new to me irl.

I think SE is trying to add some sex appeal to the game.

At this point, they'll take any kinda appeal they can get.

I'm not sure why they didn't go for an open vest like in FFXI.

Open vest is just as bad, I have never seen a guy wearing swim trunks and a vest or chest straps. It just doesn't happen and it shouldn't happen in this game.

It will break your immersion right, but teleporting doesn't!

It's actually rather popular in Japan to wear a swim-shirt.

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?

i totally second this. our armour sucks so far.

[Mudd]

Honestly, Yunalesca looked pretty cool ;v
High Level Mage Females could have a Yunalesca like armor, and the Males could look like Kuja lol.
But yeah, lets hope they don't try to over-sexualise the females in FF14 and that its just some unique looking items.

[Nabiri]

I was a tiny bit disappointed at first that the swimsuits weren't something more like FFXI's. I prefer something that covers a bit more, while still looking cute or sexy, with more detail and accessories. Beads, more colour, decorations dangling off, frills?
For those who haven't seen them, these are the XI swimsuits. I always loved the unique designs..

The bikinis seem a little plain and too... "Earth," not enough "Eorzea" to me but I'm just happy to be getting anything at all. I don't dislike them. I look forward to the event.

I'm not against skin showing, just personally, to me it's sexier to leave a bit more to the imagination.

[redmage]

I agree Nabiri, I do hope that down the line they'll add a bit more Fantasy with the designs than make them look like something you could actually find IRL. Still, happy for the event, but I do hope they get more imaginative with the event outfits later on.
