    "I don't like [insert opinion of how glamour options are somehow ruining the game experience]" yet people sarcastically chide all the time "Glamour is the true endgame." Hmm. . .

    "Just wear X gear and y gear" or "If you want to wear that, go play X game" sounds a lot like "If you want/don't want [specific issues/concerns], make a PF for it". . . and we all know how well THAT just solves everything, right?

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    Kind of tired of hearing "Let's not make it a korean mmo" as well lol.

    I still don't understand what is so taboo about a Korean MMO that nobody wants any elements of one at all.

    Well said. I play a few of those and enjoy them just as much as FFXIV. I enjoy them differently than XIV, and for various reasons, but if either were to take good ideas from the other, as a player, am I really losing in any way?

    Plus, there's always those wonderfully overlooked facts that:

    1. If I don't like it, I don't have to wear it.
    2. If it's a MogStation item and I don't want to buy it, I don't have to. (Case in point: the $30 fat moogle mount. . . No. Never. Not even for $1)
    3. If someone else likes it, buys it, wears it, or doesn't wear it, it will not affect my enjoyment whatsoever.

    Because I have played MMORPGs for about 12 years now. Most Korean MMOs are nothing but trashy fanservice.
    B&B galore with the skimpiest outfits people could beg for. FFXIV stays... relatively 'realistic' in terms of atmospheric clothes.
    I don't understand -why- we would need a -school girl- outfit in Eorzea? And lets be honest, it'll be Miqo'tes and Au Ra dressed in them with fish net stockings on and the biggest boots they could find. We don't need to make the game more sexual.

    I mean I understand the person who said if I don't want to wear it, then I don't have to, doesn't effect my enjoyment etc.

    But when I try to entice people into an epic adventure as an MMO or otherwise bring them back to the FF series, it's a hard sell when my screenshots in crowded areas/parties just have catpeople everywhere in miniskirts, stockings or even just pants. I mean I'm not ignorant enough to think that because of that the game plays any different, glamour is a legitimate endgame for some people, I could spend hours sometimes just standing around in places snapping away with printscreen, aesthetically I love this game. But you have to draw the line somewhere, I feel there's enough things that can be glammed into mock schoolie outfits already without making actually school uniforms. Just give us more things like Far Eastern dresses and bustier's and I'm happy, that's the right balance. But then again this is an entirely subjective argument, especially when I know people would like to dress up like schoolie scholars for RP.

    So you have a puritanical point of view. Respectable, but I think the biggest point of contention is the term I bolded. Nobody needs anything in this game, in fact nobody needs this game. This is a thread requesting something they desire, as far as I understand it, not one that demands SE adds this or so help OP God.

    And let's be honest, people who want to wear it will and people who won't won't. (You forget loli--I mean lalas that will wear them too)
