Yoshi-P Game Focus Interview translated summary

[Texa]

In FF14's defence, most of the sets people would think of as 'slutty' are that way for both Males and Females. This game has no issue with scantly clad men. :P

The only armor in FF XIV that really stood out to me as being gross with gender differences was the ARR Dragoon job armor and how it didn't cover stomach on female avatars. But I wouldn't even call that "slutty", it was just kind of awkward. Like I can imagine that little points of the armor poking the crud out of the girls who have it on.

Or spears and swords poking the crud out of their bellies because of the hole..

That hole there is just so.. pointless. I really do not know why the devs did that.

Provided they are actually available for both. That's largely a given for items with stats (with only few exceptions), but once the stats are off, so are the gloves.

You can see underwear by taking off equipment, but after analyzing data he was able to find that not many of the female players do so on purpose.

How do they decide if it's on purpose or not? By the amount of time spent in underwear?

I asked myself the same thing when I was reading the article but it's been translated from Korean to Japanese to English, so It might not have been "worded" with the exact same meaning originally. So I just took it as something like "Female players do not take off equipment as to make their underwear visible"

I feel it's badly worded as well due to the translation. I almost feel like it's an analytic on the amount of female players with female avatars that use the "Emperors New Breeches" as glamour...?

uuugh. I hate the belly hole armour. It ruins what is otherwise a pretty decent design. Fortunately, they have never done something similar again. I do wish they went back and fixed it though.

As a female, one of the reasons I often play male characters is because in MMOs female characters often have slutty armor not covering much, so to avoid that I end up making male alts.

Sex sells ladies and gentlemen. Fact of life in every facet.

As a female, I'm the opposite, I always play a female character and am saddened when I can't choose revealing armor (if that's what I want on my character). The option shouldn't be gotten rid of; but maybe I'm just too old school, from "back before females played games".
