Please do NOT alter Dark Knight AF for female characters.

...when representing the core look of a job, give us the full treatment. A faceless, menacing, imposing figure, in midnight clad, striking fear in the hearts of foes.

I feel that this is being glazed over by so many pulling the 'this is an MMO, female charterers will always have sexy armor' card is that this is not the bulk of what the OP wants. There are plenty of nice skimpy armor for you to put on and glamour for your characters. No one is saying 'no more sexy in my game at all'. What is being requested is that an iconic piece of gear, that is the primary representation of a specific job or class, is not drastically altered for the sexes, theme wise or look wise. This set is suppose to represent Dark Knights. It does not need to be glamed up or dolled out for any reason.

Having a piece of gear better form a character is welcome in my opinion is makes logical sense (hence why so many were upset about the Noct Loct armor on females, although in my opinion it only looked good on fem/male roes, highlanders, and some catboys.) But having a piece of gear fit a character better does not mean redesigning it to show skin (al la Dragoon belly AF style), or making it more sexy, or glamorous. That's why as a few have noticed there are slight differences in all the AF armor between the males and females but only the Dragoon one is complained about extensively.

A number of other games do this well where a female character is given armor and it is entirely warped by any means, it just fitted to their figure without changing the fact that it is well thought out functional armor.

Hilde and DA's armor is altered to fit them better and show that they are female without showing any skin and mainly focus on the fitting of the gear. Femshep could be a bit better but there's no boob window or skin slits so it gets a pass in my book lol

There is a time and a place for sexier gear, or gear that is more feminine between the male and female characters, but iconic tank gear(similar to the WAR and PLD sets) is not one of them. There will be plenty of other sexy gear released in the future, but I have faith they will leave this set's design alone and just properly fit it to both sexes unlike that scary Noct Loct.....man those abs were frightening. @__@

Sophitia and Cassandra demand equal treatment with Hilde...

I'm personally not advocating overtly sexy gear, this is not that kind of game. But I see nothing wrong with allowing female gear to be fitting and fittingly feminine, just as there is nothing wrong with allowing male gear to be fitting and fittingly masculine.

As for your comment about plenty of other sexy gear, there really isn't that much in the game that would be considered sexy, though they are welcome to add more. Some of the things they have added have been horribly ruined such as the top to the 'bunny suit' you can get from GS. The top looks really odd, and is decidedly not sexy.

But as I said, the point is not to have more overtly sexy gear in for either gender, but to have gear that fits each gender and accentuates the characteristics of that gender. How people combine, color and dress it all up, is up to them.

Oh yes, I definitely agree with the whole fitting thing, sorry if that last part didn't come off like that. The game itself having sexy gear, while not a ton, there's a decent amount of options to choose from although you're probably right that many of them are a tad bit over the top.....and I kinda wanna bunny costume myself although i cant wear it lol. But yesh, having a well fitting piece of gear with no out of place skin windows for DRK will make me happy, even with slight adjustments so long as the theme still fits.

(And yes Sofi and Cassandra do deserve that treatment lol I tend to over look their costumes because of the greek theme xD)

You my good Sir get it. A voice of reason in a storm of guys angry their barbie can't be a pole dancer in every new piece of gear to be introduced. Revealing gear is fine, bikini armor is ok, 50 shads of grey battle harness is allowed, The OP was only mentioning the DRK AF. The iconic look of the job that sets it apart from all the other tank gear witch will look the same on two other jobs in the same role.
