I'm a male healer and I don't want to dress like a girl

Would have been nice if there were more metal armor-like gear for mages in general. Both the Law and Gordian gear for mages both have metal predominantly in their chest piece .... too bad they chose to make it into a one-piece robe.

Especially the Law gear since the leg piece is a skirt. So you're effective wearing a skirt inside a skirt ... makes no sense

Actually that's one reason why I love the Daystar set. Looked good on both genders and the armored gloves and boots were awesome.

Then I guess you dislike BLM's that are males too then since they have to put on this "dress" (Hint, it's a robe.) Be glad your paladin isn't forced to wear one like some games do.

My healer...

That's also a cleric. White mages are more like priests than clerics.

Scholars could use more militaristic gear given their history, but beyond that?

NES sprite looks male from the side, female from the front.

To be fair though, it's a freaking 8 bit sprite. And it *really* looks female. I've thought that since I first saw it, and I *had* the NES release.

^_^ Well, like I said, I could be biased since I enjoy long hair on guys. But it's still a matter of opinion -- no genders were given, no pronouns used regarding individual characters, so what the WHM/WHW has in their pants is entirely up to the player.

(As a side note, I made both BLM and WHM into female characters in my current playthrough, since I named them all after RP characters in a previous campaign I played. Technically the fighter/knight as well, since the character I named it after was a female transvestite.)

Are we seriously discussing the gender of a sprite from a game that's almost 30 years old

Yep =D

My healer...

I want a healer like that...

[Felis]

Yes! They could certainly take a page from Fire Emblem robes.

We have a robe like this, the Valerian Shaman's Chasuble


Just change the pants.

I know it's from WoW, but still hilarious for this topic:

Here's another one of his.

Cranius ftw.
Him and Legs made some of the best machinima for music.

My WHM is the only one of the healers wearing a "robe" atm, due to him wearing the Ironworks gear for levelling. But otherwise, I have my SCH in a suit, and AST is currently wearing the Woad Skydruid's stuff. There is a fair amount of robe options if you're looking in JUST gear for WHM, but expand to the "all classes" gear used for glamours, crafting and gathering, and you've got a lot of options atm

Whenever I see someone complain about being a caster class and having to wear a robe, I chuckle. Why? Because of this video Big Blue Dress. Different game but it's totally applicable.

And I see that someone has already linked the video. Ha!

Though, more attire options, don't consist of a skirt/robe/dress are always welcome.

Field Commanders set maybe? It's more like a long jacket than a robe.
