China is getting wings

[Lunaxia]

This thread reads like a bunch of grumpy high schoolers. "EWWW, what is THAT?" vs. "that's not fair, I want it!"

I wouldn't be too fussed about the wings (I'd like to see them on, though) but I really like the robes, I'm a fan of the traditional-flowing-robe-mage look so it's up my street. Is this for Halloween, 3.3 (Hraes and Nid?) or just bonus stuff?

Maybe that's because the "community" is not a hive mind and it's not the same people making both statements?

I can assure you the majority of people against this outfit commented in favor of the new world outfit in that deleted thread.

Well I can only assume that their opinions are based on whether the outfit fits the setting of the game or sticks out like a sore thumb. From what I see, the New World outfits still have all the stylings of normal FFXIV gear just with a slight Western motif with the fringes

Whereas these wings are just straight-up generic angel wings with no FF spin on them, even the FFVII wings had stylized anatomy (and the wings that appeared on Rinoa were not physical wings, they were just a manifestation of the Sorceress power unlike that fanmade picture posted earlier)

But you're never going to live down the tacky Korean MMO reputation these things have, or that they are a magnet for bad fanfiction writing and poorly made OCs.

The pig outfit sticks out like a sore thumb even more than this, and it's already in the game.

Either way we should not be policing what other people should wear, if you don't like it you can just not wear it, otherwise let's start removing subligars and disabling all and any bikini glamour in MSQ cutscenes and dungeons because it doesn't fit the game.

Honestly just sounds like your just plain against wings in general, as well as the other complaints in this thread. "F2P Wings, ugh." "So tacky!" "Keep your Koreans out of my MMO" When you realize its just cosmetics. If the item is already made then why not? No one says anything about Male miqote's in pink thongs but I guess thats ok because its sexy, then you have a lalafel named Jail Bait in swim wear, but don't worry, its just a cosmetic item. And no offense to those with OC's based on this game. But if you do have a OC, just about every Eorzean looks about the same when it comes to their races and outfits. Only difference you notice off the bat is your outfits, hence why so many mmos have flashy outfits. Cosmetics make the character.

Also to those talking about the coat looking cheap, Script gear. Looks like shet, but your wearing it aren't you? Especially that whm outfit, and don't get me started on 180 gear in PvP. If you don't want it, fine. Saying it doesn't fit in with this game or doesn't meet some sort f standard is flat-out bs.

Oh yes, and those wings look like Angeals wings from Crisis Core. Not all of them need to look like Sephiroths. Why don't you ask for those? Though as I said, alot of you are just against wings.

And on that note...latex catsuits please?

Kidding. Maybe. Possibly.

Though this is exactly whats happening. People don't want others to have it because they don't like the way it looks. If its in the game, its not wasting time, its literally just carrying over availability for items. No ones offended by it, no one can't give a logical reason as to why it shouldn't be in here, they're just hating the idea of it.

And here I am, along with a few others saying "So the **** what?"

Not liking the way it effects the aesthetics and perception of the game is a perfectly logical reason whether you agree with it or not.

Frankly, they can keep the wings for all I care.

However, the bardings are nice and I'd like to have those brought over.

[Kaelah]

Ew dislike...

They will be in the cash shop in due time I bet anyway, so if you want it, don't fret.
