Racial gear really should be made separated and unlocked for all.

Unlock the hempen stuff but keep the starter outfits locked. To be honest, I don't care what they do but more options are nice either way.

It's about time square unlocked racial gear for glamour already including the alternative models for the hempen gear, there are so many pieces that are the perfect piece to complete that long sought after glamour set for many. I don't want to hear any of that "race exclusivity" bull, everyone is a damn cat girl anyway. It's been requested for years.

Until 4.5 when everyone is an anime bunny girl. I agree with you however and would love to see the racial gear lock removed on BOTH the Race Set and Hempen Set. As a Roe I would love to have that male highlander hyur hempen look. I'm also sure most female characters would love that string and two square patches that the female highlander gets.

I rather like the race specific gear, and would rather they not change that. It adds a little flair.

I'd rather see more, not less, gender and race specific pieces tbh, as long as they are given out equally.

I'm of this opinion too. Our choice of race giving us our starter gear and our choice of GC giving us their sets of gear are one of the few choices we have that mean anything (even if it is only a small handful of vanity items). I would love to see more choices that effect things and not less.

The underwear sets? Unlock them.
The starter sets? Don’t unlock.
Perhaps add more racial sets as compromise for people who didn’t want either unlocked.

Yet you are a male Au Ra, so perhaps that's completely true. Besides if there is a new bunny race, cat girls will have a lot of competition.

there's a bit of catgirl inside us all

[Lunalepsy]

I totally agree. We need more variety!

Speak for yourself. Toodles.

Can it be just in my arms? I want those long-sleeve gloves.

I would love more detatched sleeve items...

I think that defeats the point of racial gear.

That's okay - it has no point. If a Lala and a Roe can wear the same Mogstation, tomestone, dungeon, raid, etc. glamours, then there is no valid reason why a Miqo'te couldn't wear the Elezen starting shoes. Or vice versa. Most races (excepting Lala, Highlander male and Roe male) share the same body and equipment models anyways so there aren't even any technical restrictions in most cases.

Adapting glamours from one gender to another does require new assets so that's one restriction that makes perfect sense, but class and race restrictions are arbitrary and in most cases unjustified.
