What is with this game and half-naked women as bosses?

We are going to Ala Mhigo, did you forget that the Ala Mhigans tend to look like this:




Time to take off the ishgardian winter coat and let the rippling abs loose!

but still hope for a day in which equilibrium may be found for all scantily clad entities whom wish to see my demise.

Do we even play the same game?

[Yellow]

Yeah, Stormblood needs to give us an evil Monk boss who's just wearing a leather studded subligar.

{Please look forward to it.}

Now if only Male Highlanders had facial options other than:

1) Depressed Insomniac
2) Homicidal Maniac
3) Serial Killer

Because showing off Bewbs are the ultimate weapon for distracting people from mechanics

Look at the Amalj'aa. Manly muscles as far as the eye can see.

To be fair, we can't tell which are male and which are female...

Rou Rou complains about naked. /blush

According to the lore, you get to know who is which once they're in mating season.

Give me more half naked AuRa and I'll personally give Yoshi my tuition money. Still, I find that personality makes up for physical exposure for the men. Ravana may not be rocking a host club hair style or assless chaps but damn if I wouldn't join him in conquest for battle. I'm not disagreeing with OP at all though. Where's my incubus threatening to steal me away? Amdapor Keep (Hard) boss had the right idea, and I certainly have a thing for men with muscular thighs Raubahn pls marry me but... that face (bleh)

I'll like to add to my post on the first page that FFXIV is one of the few MMOs where both genders get roughly the same treatment in terms of quantity and quality and scantily behaviour; it's hard to really think of one aspect of the game where there is one dominant gender in anything (aside from glamours, but even that's not as heavily skewed as some like to exaggerate it to be). The issue of 'relatable' humanoid figures as bosses is really a minor one when considering that FFXIV was brave enough to allow same-sex bondage in what is renowned as a very conservative country when it comes to same-sex issues.

Primal Godbert....



....maybe it could happen....

Godbert exudes enough manliness for every other male in the game world.
