Request: Hempen Garb - Racial Unlock

[Zojha]

No thanks.
We need more RSE not less!

I'm for a compromise:

We lock all cosmetic gear for those accounts whose players would rather have gear locked and unlock them for all the accounts whose players would rather have it unlocked. We can use the agree/disagreement in this thread to determine who's in which camp.

Personally, I'd rather have clothes unlocked unless they require race specific body parts to function and the only kind of racial armor I could think of in that regard with our humanized races would be tail ornaments/armor, as those require a tail that many races do not have. But even those could be shared between Au Ra and Miqo'te.

If you go to the teatral airship for the raid storyline, you will se a Hyur using a hempem of other races. I'll try to get a screenshot.

I don't understand why people want those sets locked. Is that wrong for people use clothes of others cultures?

I will always upvote this when the topic comes up. The miqo hempen top is one of my favorite pieces, and I'm always bummed that I can't use it when I fantasia.

The other pieces would be fun to play with as well. This game is restrictive enough already with glamours, may as well free the undies!

Nice observation, Angely. Maybe that's a tease for the inevitable unlocking.

Honestly, the male ones are all pretty similar anyway between races and there's no reason a male Elezen cannot figure out that he can tie a piece of string around his chest to emulate a male Roegadyn or vice versa. If your character doesn't like it you can roleplay that you're disgusted that a proud male Hyur would wear Elezen underpants to bed (or erm, to town I guess), but I'm reasonably sure that most people don't care and just want access to lots of different glamour items. There's quite a lot of visual diversity between the female Hempen items and none scream 'will only fit this specific race'; they're ordinary crop tops, halter necks and the like. Go for it.

Absolutely, when I was a hyur I only ever wanted the miqo'te hempen camise.

We have our starting racial gear, that should stay locked. But the hempen camise is silly. Besides, if you think they should be locked, just use your own race's camise. No one's forcing you to use the others.

If it's the Highlander version, then this will be me...



Man, just the thought of it makes me cringe.

Edit:

My discord group was so excited when we saw that dude on patch day. I'm all for folks getting my lizard's bandeau if I can put him in elezen's itty bitty bolero

Woah niiiice catch. That all but confirms it to me. They are working on it.

I really hope this is the case, but this is SE...and they've been known to give special treatment to NPCs with gear before (dancers in Ul'dah for example), and they've also mixed & matched various facial features that should not be available on a single face (Yugiri and probably others).

But yeah, fingers crossed they are actually working on it. I would be sooo happy if it gets unlocked.
