The female DRG AF belly window needs to be closed

[Mahri]

Oh hey, this is an oldie.

Pretty sure I've posted my thoughts on this before, but it basically comes down to the fact that aesthetically, it just looks off. Like, we have ludicrous bikini armor, like the Coliseum set, and other things that are obviously unrealistic and impractical, but from the aesthetic standpoint it makes for a solid image.

With the DRG AF, there's no overall change in the aesthetic that they're going for, it's just a section of armor that's gone. It feels lazy and poorly-considered. If they redesigned the female DRG AF completely to be a full suit of spiky metal lingerie, that would actually be an improvement, because at least you're going all-in on the audacity.

I love the belly window on my drg. Hope there will be more in future sets.

If you don't like it, don't wear it. There are plenty of alternative outfits available for Dragoons that covers more and still look "Dragoon" like. I chose Tortisescale on Lin for a long time in her appearances because the aesthetics matched her better. Now I just use whatever gear I feel fits her character more.

I don't feel the need to impose my will on the designers because I have issue for a particular piece of digital clothing.

We have a new set of Dragoon armor coming in the expansion, one that may very well suit your desires. Otherwise, I recommend perhaps using gear like the Demon Mail of Maiming as an alternative. The remaining Dragoon pieces can then be dyed a similar color.

I think the armor looks silly in general with all those spikes....but it's kinda late complaining now. We just looking for social aspects and nitpicking on few things we don't like at this point or bored or....idk

Well....while we're at it....know what I want?



Make it happen SE

I still say the Dragoon gear looks like a Xenomorph.

If you don't like it, don't wear it.

No, sorry.

Criticism is valid.

Artifact and tome armor sets should be gender equal, they represent jobs/ classes in the FF series. In this way the character is empowered regardless of gender, they are a Paladin, a Dragoon, a Ninja. Having a scantly clad version for females makes no sense, particularly when there is gear in the game currently for those that want that option. Reading through fourteen pages of this thread i can't help but wonder how many of these female characters are played by female gamers that want their representations in Erozea to be taken seriously. I have plenty of female alts in bikini armor glamours, i don't mind the show, but it should really be something chosen not something of circumstance.

I love plate bikini type armors shows off the female characters figure. Wish there were more of those types in the game.

Just going to link this from back in the day, it made sense back then and it still makes sense. (and one does see the glamour relatively often on females)

I am all for sexier armor variants for females, but the window is more ridiculous than sexy. It would have worked fine with a little more exposed on the legs/arms to go with it, but it's just an out of place hole right now.

At least they had the decency to not have any exposed stomach DRGs in the Heavensward opening

Maybe impractical, but not unrealistic. It is coliseum gear after all

People love bringing up George R. R. Martin novels when talking about this game these days, so we definitely need a scene in Heavensward where a proud female dragoon gets gored through her belly-window fighting a dragon.
