The Fashion Report

[Awoo]

I've been sitting on this one a while waiting to see if it made the rounds in the community but I don't see how it does me any good to not say it.

Has anyone considered the fact that the mural behind the NPC is very clearly relevant to the current theme? It would be just like Square to laugh at us as we fool around with this when they've left a super massive clue to many items in very plain sight, only for the community to notice it if/when it is changed with next week's fashion contest.



Some of these items are confirmed gold coins.

I think the big obvious part that it's contest-relevant is that the male character in the mural seems to be wearing a skirt?

The flower hat is called Coronal Straw Hat and I'd be quite interested in whether it does well or not.

It might be that it's contest-relevant but the items in the picture don't necessarily score well. I put on the Spring Dress that's shown there and only scored a measly 35, it was so bad for the theme.

1 star. Just tried it. Only got 79 points because I couldn't find a hat better than 1 star... Can't use the caster hat or little ladies.

taking the usual items does pretty well, but im told i need something to embellish my look.

I'm guessing the non-hinted slots are the key to getting past the 80s and reaching 90-100. A bit more challenging since you have no hints to help you at all (apart from the overall theme) and it comes down only to taste.

yea, thats why i went halonic on all accessories. and just tried something that looked ok for the belt and gloves. could maybe try something better there, but hard to say what more i can do with only 2 chances left.

Looking just at the skirts, there seems to be some interesting (or frustrating) inconsistencies:

It is clearly not just any black skirt, or any skirt dyed black. From the screenshots, a Spring Skirt dyed blue and a Plain Long Skirt dyed Metallic Gold or white both get the same score as a Kudzu Skirt dyed Jet Black: three stars.

Undyed skirts like Asuran Hakama of Casting rate lower than its identical, undyeable counterpart Yasha Hakama of Casting, but can score higher if you use black dye to dye the black skirt blacker? Whereas some people in this thread reported getting a perfect score on the undyeable Yasha Hakama of Healing, which is white.



Without any clear notion of the criteria, is this just going to be a long game of communal trial and error in the future?
