Can the males get swimsuits that are a little more...manly? [Not a hate thread]

If they get rid of the mens tops I DEMAND they get rid of the womens.

Jokes aside the game requires all characters to have somthing in the top and bottom underwear slot, this is probably why they added the top for men, i mean we have a neck slot so we couldnt have a chain of any sort, the alternative is to have a transparent undershirt which would just be wierd, why would anyone use a transparent undershirt?

Yes but they could go with the vest they had in XI. I liked those vests a lot, actually!

If we go with the logic in this thread though, you never see people wearing vests with trunks, speedos etc, either way because the undershirt slot needs to be filled they will not win.

I also love the event, and I don't have a problem with the swimwear because all of my characters are female
But..I don't really LIKE seeing male characters around me running around wearing something that looks kind of like..a bra?
When I saw the Roegadyn picture for the first time, I thought it was just a..well, Roegadyn joke because they are big and it was funny.
But then the event came, and all male chars got these weird clothes..x-x

I know this game requires us to wear underwear in the lower and the upper slot, but I hope next time the upper part for males is either invisible or they just get rid of the restriction overall.
(Only for male characters, obviously!!)
After all, I don't really see a problem in males not wearing anything in the upper underwear slot.
Neither in Japan nor in America, France or Germany it is considered a crime or anything bad if a male person has a naked upper body, especially at the beach (which is the place you usually tend to wear swimwear at).

Elezen for example usually only wear sleeves anyway, so what is there to hide from us?
Just get rid of the restriction for males of having to wear something.

I honestly like the fact that SE is going against the grain and isn't afraid to bring out the sexy in the males too; the male body is beautiful as well! It's kind of lame and even a bit sexist in my opinion that in our culture it's deemed weird for guys to show off their bodies, but females are encouraged to do it. Gender roles are dumb if ya ask me :-P

I think SE did it quite fairly. ^-^ Females are showing off a lot and so are the males.
I agree that both swimsuits are sexy.

I wouldn't call it unmanly with all those nice tight man-muscles showing. :x
Women and gay men are probably rejoicing lol.

I just don't know if my male Elezen will be wearing silver though. My little sister was laughing at him and calling him, "Faaaaaaabulooooooous!" o.o It's just not his colour. haha I WISH we had black. >.>

On another note, I would love to see swim trunks for guys in the future just 'cause I think they look cool. But girls should get something equally as cool.

I am happy that we had a summer event but I do miss the amazingly beautiful design of the suits from Summer Fest in XI.

Checked with Yoshi-P. He said “We will aim for an event next year that will also prominently feature our male adventurers, too! But would everyone really be happy with a summer event focused on male characters?” and then he laughed.

No. Also not everyone is happy with summer events mainly focused on female characters so... what's the laugh for? You can have male characters in swimsuits without it looking like a gay parade.

Japanese culture seems to consider that non-skinny androgyne teenage boys are some kind of extreme bodybuilders, that led us to that horrid /pose for Highlanders.

Noooo :O
But it would be nice if next year both genders can enjoy it equally, not just us girls.

You don't look like a gay parade. You can't look gay. You can look feminine and that's what it looks like. Please get that out of your system of looking gay.
