Gender Swapped DRK and Gunner Fan Art

Your argument would be more accurate if every armor in XIV for women was the "Sexy" armor variants, but its not, and its not even close. This game has plenty of armor, I'd say the majority of armor, that is not even remotely scantily clad for women. There is both fanservice and conservative armor in XIV true, but in some of the cases if the armor is scanty for women, it is for men too (Gladiator's for instance). The exception to these being stuff like NIN and DRG AF which I've admitted was just silly. Very rarely are other armor choices in XIV super sexified and revealing for one sex exclusively. Heavy armor in general (Tank armor) is pretty much unisex. Trashcans for all.

Yes, some games out there are ridiculous when it comes to armor choices and if anyone read my first post (hint they didn't) they would see I find these options absurd sometimes because it takes it too far, but XIV is by and far one of the most fair MMOs I've played when it comes to attire options.

Personally when I chose my armor I chose what looks cool, and I find in almost every case armor is identical on men and women. Soldiery, poetics, my Fistfighters jacker and the I.100 dungeon armor... I find that in almost all cases armor is nearly indentical. I think AF for these jobs will be different in small ways but I don't think we'll have anything close to the NIN/DRG debacle.

Also, I agree that AF armor should essentially be unisex. Seriously, I come from FFXI, this is what NIN and DRG armor were there, both sexes shown





The only difference being the Pants on either, a "Tights/fishnet" for women and a "Hakama" for men with NIN, and the slight skin showing on the female DRG pants... but in XIV I felt my NIN AF was worthless for glamour because of the boob window, it just looked stupid. If it wasn't so "IF YOU'RE NOT WITH ME 100% YOU'RE AGAINST ME!" you'd see I essentially agree with most points.
