Can we please get more cool looking outfits for male characters?

MORE GLAMOUR PLEASE!

It's kinda sad im seeing myself going back to ironworks and LOTA sets .... ><;

Damn, that speaks volumes regarding one's security in their own sexuality. How can designing gear in a video game be uncomfortable.....

I don't really buy it as an excuse. Aside from being unprofessional it doesn't explain why there's a severe lack of unique glamour options for male characters across the board. There's other routes that they could explore if they're so averse to making 'sexy' gear for male characters. Many people - myself included - aren't even focusing on the 'sexy' angle in regards to our requests. Maybe something is being lost in translation? They do realise that we don't just want stuff like the Gold Saucer outfit...right?

I, personally, want more outfits based on what iconic Final Fantasy protagonists and antagonists wear as well as more smart looking tunics, suits and so on. It just feels really 'off' to me. They've even joked about glamour being the true end game which is something a lot of players have been saying for a while. It keeps them invested - so they're well aware of how high of a priority it is for many players.

Kind of agree. One of the complaints I hear from my tank-maining friends is that there aren't enough good designs of armor. But I wouldn't be surprised if part of the reason behind that is that they'll have to cut out half of it to make the women look sexy in it ala the DRG 50 AF set so they just design it from the get-go with that sort of thing in mind. The Lore tank set's cleavage comes to mind, as much as that set's one of the nicer looking armors imo. So of course, if that's their (assumed) design policy, the men will get shafted in the process by definition (and a lot of the ladies too, ultimately, if they're not into the sexy/cute look either)

The whole shtick of 'sex sells' doesn't apply when its a fairly inconsequential boss that literally does not affect the revenue at all. I sincerely... SINCERELY doubt anyone started playing the game because they saw a picture of Lakshimi's tits.

So... why? Because right now it sounds like a few males higher up on the totem pole think it's ICKY to look at anything other than hot girls.

Especially since she is not even a human thus why does she even need to be cute? And I am quite sure that she did not just look really ugly in the old version (and if she did then who would care...I mean the male bosses dont always look just handsome too).Its not wonder that we Au Ra females look so much different from the art works.

+1 support. Also still waiting for the male bunny set, pretty sure a good number of our male character friends would love to have it already.

Its not wonder that we Au Ra females look so much different from the art works.

Which is a real disappointment. Male Au Ra, at least, can be designed to look more like the original concept art...but more customisation options for every race would be appreciated. The thing is, we have two 'clans' for every playable race. I don't understand why they did not make one clan vastly different to the other. That way those who wanted 'savage' looking Au Ra could have been appeased whilst those who wanted 'cuter' Au Ra could also have been appeased. It's very silly that the differences for every playable clan other than Hyur is literally just different colours.

I am not looking for "cutesy" or even "sexy" gear for guys... I just want more options that aren't friggin dresses/robes/tunic/long coats.

I want more stuff for ALL CLASSES/RACES in the same vein as the Miqo'te starter chest. Something that doesn't go below the waist, doesn't have unnecessary swathes of cloth dangling from it, doesn't have long poofy sleeves, and also isn't essentially bare-chest with a strap/strip of cloth/tattoo.

Give me more male body slot items that are short sleeved or sleeveless and aren't some kind of pseudo-dress/long coat. Stuff like this:



Unfortunately half of what's shown in the pic is restricted by class/job or race.
