Please do NOT alter Dark Knight AF for female characters.

Hoping for some nice cleavage or ZR on the female DRK armor just to witness the SJW meltdown on here.

People are playing the wrong game if they want a fully covered female character.

DRK need a 6-pack for male and female

Pointless holes cut out of the armour make it "feminine" ? Most women would be smart enough to keep those vital areas covered.

Show me one tank gear with a belly hole on female.

Exactly, it's because Ninja shows a little skin on the upper chest aka seduction because they are ninjas, what bettter way to catch the eye of an opponent then to get them to focus on the wrong part of your body.

Dragoons stomachs which I believe are like that because pregnant Dragoons would still go into battle so they wouldn't have that piece of armor on their torso. I'm confident it's mentioned in the DRG story-line but it's hard to find a transcript.

Finally bard doesn't have a white shirt under the green vest. So for some people they think 3/10 classes have a "sexier" look=SE is sexist.

The dragoon part is iffy, I don't really recall that. But yeah, seduction tactics are older than dirt in espionage, and the Job whose sole duty is that of moral support can offer moral support in more than just words and music. As for the heavily armored Jobs, there hasn't been a set in the game yet that is "sexy" for them. The closest I think we got was the Noct Lorica, which was only sexy on men (it just looked weird for female characters).

The theme is the same for both genders but you can see that the male X-shape and female hourglass shape are emphasized. Notice how the female gear is nothing like a beach bikini that people keep offering as the alternative for tin can armor.

What do you mean it's nothing like it? Every single woman in your picture is wearing skimpy swimwear while the men are all fully clothed. Ok, so the women's outfits are based on a one piece swimsuit or teddy rather than a bikini, but whether it's swimwear or lingerie, none of them have clothes on.

I actually do think the male and female versions should be modeled to suit each gender's body shape. The Noct armour is horrible because it fails to do that. The problem there isn't because women get the same gear as men, it's because they get the same gear as men that's still fitted to a man's shape regardless of the character wearing it. SE did a far better job with most of the rest of the armour in the game, giving the same gear but fitted to the character, so the female versions show off the female form flatteringly.

They really screw up when they try to give women different gear than the men, though, especially when they do it on iconic AF gear, like the DRG or NIN sets. The male versions of both of those look great and would look great on a woman as well, but women can't get them, because SE decided to change it up (which is to say screw it up) for the female version, giving them a different and far worse outfit.

People's opinions vastly differ on what is or isn't "skimpy swimwear", "lingerie" or "clothes". I wouldn't call those outfits "skimpy" or "lingerie", myself. I also disagree with your statement that male versions of DRG and NIN look great. I happen to vastly prefer the female versions, myself. So, since you're playing a male character and I'm playing a female character, everything's wonderful, right?

I wounder why nobody complain about the uncovered knees of the female monk af

I stated this on a different thread, but I feel as if Armor Variants would go a long way towards alleviating the tension on matters like these.

Important pieces of gear, such as AF, could have the option of having various styles of them that are progressively more modest or more exhibitionist, similar to how /visor works. I'm sure a couple Dark Knights wouldn't mind going full on Kill la Kill in their outfits regardless of gender, and I would have no problem with people wanting to dress that way in a fantasy game - so long as it's not willfully imposed on myself.

Options. Options are not bad, they allow individual identity - something we're all trying to preserve here, right?

I can have one character that's modest and one characters that's outright lewd. I'd like to have job-specific gear options for both, and we have a system that could be used to accommodate that.
