Why Does A Fierce Race Of Female Warriors...

[Joven]

It's relevant that's it's referencing 12, but at the same time it's not. That design still remains, and it's problematic, and it's something that could've easily been changed because even if that was "okay" then, doesn't mean it is now (though that in itself doesn't natually mean it has to change, of course). It's surely the race that's important, not the clothing being the same. Though, I agree with what you're saying about it not being seen on all the NPCs; in that it's probably the racial gear. When I rolled my main miqo, I sighed and rolled eyes at what she was wearing. This will just fall in the same category - though I'm not intending to Fantasia over or roll a bunny girl (I want a boy!).

So that reveal was hopefully just fanservicing one particular demographic which is sort of sad, but there's nothing that can be done with that now as it's already out there. What they can do in future is remember there's more diversity in their fanbase as a whole, and they should not skip out on providing the same service for all. Perhaps the devs could consider consulting a range of people of all genders, ages, countries, for tastes, in future, for a fairer outlook.

I certainly would roll a bunnygirl
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

In all seriousness though, how is this a problem? The Hrothgar are essentially shirtless and no-one's batting an eye. But heaven forbid a woman shows skin. I'm nowhere near as buff as a Hrothgar, but I'm not so insecure about my size and weight to go so far as to say "buff, shirtless men are problematic!" I see them and say "Hells yeah, they look awesome!"
