Something about what the Miqo'te's wearing...

I can't help but notice how much longer and nicer the hair always looks in the artwork. Sucks that clipping is going to make our hair shorter till the end of time in XIV.

Did anyone notice the Au Ra Sitting in the center?

You know, regardless of whether this is artistic freedom or not, this thread does bring up an intersting thought.

What about having a second race specific outfit? I mean, it's nice that all of us start out with an outfit that reflects our identity as a Roe, Hyur, Lalafell, Elezen, Miqo'te or (soon) an Au Ra. But we have no element of choice, it's not even dyable later on.

So, two suggestions, and a prayer that Yoshi, the community managers or one of theatt team reads this;

1. A second race specific outfit to allow some element of choice to players with their starting attire.

2. Add a dyeable version of the race specific clothing, so that we can have a greater choice in appearance.

I'm thinking that a dyeable version would be similarto the augmented armors that are dyeable, omething that a player would unlock after unlocking dyes, and that it would be a dungeon drop of some kind in dungeons in the Haukke Manor/Brayflox/Cutters Cry series of dungeons - especially as these also cover the 3 main geographic areas. If the alternate race specific outfit were added as a drop item, I'd like to see it dropin dungeons such as Qarn or Arum Vale with have little other purpose or exclusive drops

It'd have to be lv 33. :b

I would absolutely love new race gear (especially if it's dyeable). It always made absolutely no sense to me that you were stuck with clothing that was sporting the same colors as every single other person of the same race as you.

I would love to be able to dye all armor. At this point, I don't see why they don't open that option. Before, I could understand that they were trying to keep a certain style in the game, but that was before the introduced glamours which now lets people run around naked in battle if they so choose.

Fixed it for you.
Hair rendering gives render teams nightmares. That's why the number of long hair options in pretty much every MMO ever made (as well as pretty much everything with 3D character models) are so small. It's always a choice between good hairstyles and armor clipping.
FFXIV is trying their best to give us both complex armor and good hairstyles, to mixed results.

Speaking of tails, I'm surprised there isn't a bobbed variant to use.

[Nahaara]

Make it work like FFXI and have three different variations of RSE, i'd be okay with something like that.

Ok that might seem a bit harsh to new starts. In that caes, make a monochromatic (drab brown for example) version buyable from a vendor in the starting zone, and make a dyeable version of the 2nd race specific gear set as drops for Qarn/Arum Vale.
