Please do NOT alter Dark Knight AF for female characters.

[LFThunder]

Since Most of Us Agree that The Dragoon AF Female Chest Piece with the mysterious belly hole looks weird, anyone knows an armor that resembles it so I can Glamour that part away?

I Simply LOVED that overall look of Dragoon, to the point of almost going with the flow and started playing it because of its looks, I started Learning how to dodge, and everything, then I saw the AF, and I found it so strange, that I went to level a Arcanist, when Arcanist was lvl 35, I found out about Glamour(yeah, took me a while), so Now my Arcanist is 50, and I came back to level Lancer to get to Dragoon, and I wanna get rid of the Only Thing I disliked in that armor.

The Dragoon Bellyhole is b/c FemDRGs are like Minfillia -- they wanna git that gutpunch every now and then.

Well with the DRG AF armour, it's not really practical. Aside from the obvious "stab here" target

At least the dude's DRG AF doesn't have a massive open weakspot.

Clearly practicality is not the primary concern when designing new gear. :P

Video game logic dictates, that the less armor you wear, the more protection you have.

is that what the shield for? block ya grill

[Quixotica]

You see this?

Sigh. that looks like typical Squenix over designed mess. Spikes and blades everywhere for no reason. Also do DRKs not get scythes? =/


That aside, please no plate bikinis (or at least not as the only options).

Snip

The issue is the dinky little crown exists on both sets of the gear (boy and girl). Maybe there's some magic shield think with the dumb little crown, it looks like it's gold, which means canon-wise it'll dampen magic attack in FFXIV. Like, you don't see the guys armor with the massive gut hole, why?

2. That is exactly the issue, you're trying to shift gears after being confronted with it, buddy. You said, that the dark knight looks menacing, violent, imposing… because the job is being played by a male au ra, who looks menacing, violent and imposing. lala's do not look imposing or violent, they look cute. a lala dark knight would not look imposing or threatening. Similarly, female characters in general do not look intimidating or juggernaut-esque, not compared to their male counterparts ; they would not look like that in dark knight artifact gear either. Its not a right to appear as powerful, its a physical trait of the model you create. I could not care less that some prudes are outraged over something as harmless as gendered AF armour.

3. I am well aware of the era we are in buddy; i'm not some confused millennial with no real life experience. Men and women do not look the same, nor should they, and their differences should be celebrated, not extinguished. A physical powerful frame, an imposing presence, a violent nature… these are very masculine traits. You cannot expect to see those traits in a trim, petite, svelte female miqote. She may possess power, she may wield great power (paige hathaway squats and deadlifts a lot more than the majority of the pencil necked beta males posting in this thread, thats for damn sure; but she still looks sexy, not intimidating or physically menacing) but she will not look anywhere near as physically menacing as a male au ra, with or without dark knight AF gear. And that is not a bad thing, whatever you have read in your women's studies classes.

Pretty much this

It's not that bad.

sword is a frigging nightmare, but the armor itself is fine.

**Did someone say powerful and sexy women... **



I know...some may argue, but I think these women represent the most powerful characters in this particular series... (no comment on the actual cinematic value of the series - but it is a decent movie adaptation of a video game, I think).

so lets compare, shall we?



I know sexiness is somewhat subjective (depends upon whether you're looking at it from a male or female perspective) but of the two above, who looks more physically powerful?
