Please do NOT alter Dark Knight AF for female characters.

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

I think that the assumption that Feminine = More Skin is a stereotype is actually in error.

When I picture feminine, I picture long dresses, smooth textures, a demure demeanor, as well as the more provocative, sensual/sexy revealing style.

It's not a single pointed ideal to look at and say "This is what it means to be feminine!" to the exclusion of all else. Both ideas are right.

So, since you're playing a male character and I'm playing a female character, everything's wonderful, right?

Well, it's true that my main character whom I play the most is male, but I actually play several characters. For the males, I have a male Miqo'te, male Hyur, and will soon have a male Au Ra. For the females, I have a female Elezen and a female Lalafel. I've also designed a couple female Roegadyn but haven't really started them yet (in part because I can't decide which I like better). So I have some interest in the gear for both genders.

I did but I still stand by what I said. Glamours had to be the worst thing SE has released. People are in a uproar because one armor variant shows some skin is mind blowing. While I hate seeing people running around with bikinis, I can say the same for guys running around with no shirts. If an armor set is gonna be a full body, make it feminine. Im not saying if has to show skin, I just don't want a copy and paste job on SE's part. XI had the right idea when it came to armor variants so idk why XIV can't have the same. But I still say that this is a JP made by JP devs which will have biases in it. Females will always get treated better than the males.

They really screw up when they try to give women different gear than the men

They do? Because especially the female Ninja and Dragoon AF sets look way better than the male version.

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.

Different strokes for all the folks because those outfits look gorgeous.
Two men there show their chest and stomach.
Please look inside for pics.

/Most photo's are Songweaver/Songstress/Maestro type of gear aka support/healer. The 1st one is a Gunslinger female on the right and the last are tanks./
We need more female/male clothes. They can't do unisex well and it looks like crap.
Unisex healer gear is the worst imo. It's UGLY and always a damn robe.
Please start doing what TERA/AION is doing and make gear to match the race.
I wholly welcome more options and more cute stuff as seen above the pictures.
Just eh, I don't wanna look like a guy or ugly in my gear when I'm not a guy...and I don't wanna look ugly lol.
If I wanted that I'd...well...be a guy character...and wear ugly gear! lol.

[LaylaTsarra]

Heaven forbid females have feminine outfits. It gets really old having the cover it all up and make it look like a man crowd. How about we get more than one option for the gear then and let people choose what we want. I don't want to look like a guy, sorry.

Love the pics in the post above mine.

Yeah. You and I have different definitions of the word "skimpy", my friend. The Assassin and Chanter classes has the men with a front jacket and midriff, respectively. Heck, the sin class male is more revealing than the female. He might as well be topless. :P

And you're exaggerating on the "No clothes on" bit. They're showing a bit a skin, tastefully, I might add, but it's far from lingerie or swimwear.
As someone already said in this thread, there's is a different between tastefully showing some skin and flat having nothing but a few pieces of clothing on. And, those pic there, (kudos for Reinha showing the Aion armor sets, btw), are tasteful.

Actually, it...kinda seems as if you're more against showing skin (on women...apparently, for you, men can show quite a bit before even thinking the outfits they're wearing are too revealing or unrealistic), period.
Edit: lol seems someone beat me to posting. Exactly, Riepah. :P

Being Tank armor, I highly doubt it'll be impacted by gender differences. WAR armor isn't impacted at all, and PLD is only affected by like... 1% perhaps? Though with all the people throwing out posts that show they're basically being entitled pricks, especially in the DRG armor thread, I'd be laughing my head off if the DRK armor for females ended up being skimpy. I'd even go as far as to saying that it's a "TAKE THAT!" from the developers, who are getting fed up with all the complaints and decided to take a pot shot at this forum.

The biggest thing people tend to forget is that they are NOT the ones in control of this game. The developers are. They also tend to forget that different people have different tastes. Some people actually LIKE having a little exposure, both male AND female players alike. (GASP! I know right? Female players that actually like a little exposure on their character!? Madness!) So the moment you try to overwrite someone else's personal preference on the way an armor piece looks just because you don't like it, you've gone too far. The world does NOT revolve around you. Period.

Personally, I'd like it if the DRK armor remained fully clothed simply for being Tank armor and the fact that it does look really awesome that way, but I won't go on a rampage if it ends up looking different on a female character.

Needs armoured hotpants, a boob window, and some thigh boots with a nice stiletto heel.

Not sure what they should do with the female version, though.
