Request to unlock Hempen set styles

The races look different, yes. But that's as far as it goes with the differences between races, this game offers little to none content to bring out the uniqueness of each race. And while hempen sets might not be the best way to bring that out, at least it's something, at least it gives a little bit more uniqueness to each race. So, if hempen sets lose their race specific status, people who like the exclusivity of the sets, will only be left with the starter gear.

I'm also aware that not everyone cares the uniqueness of race specific gear but there are still many who do, and it would be sad to see it taken away.

But, again, this is a matter of opinion and everyone are free to have theirs. We just have to live with whatever decision dev. team decides to make.

If the goal is to provide a greater sense of each race's cultural traditions (which I very much agree with, and think is far too lacking currently), wouldn't it be just as effective to have a "Hempen Undershirt in a Miqo'te style" and "Hempen Undershirt in an Elezen style" and so on as it is to have a single "Hempen Undershirt" item that just looks different based on who's wearing it? I don't think we need them locked to a race in order to provide a cultural link to that race, we just need the cultural link identified (which it currently isn't).
