Request to unlock Hempen set styles

[Fredco191]

Seeing as how the Viera share their hempen set with Midlanders and the Hrothgar share theirs with the Roegadyn. We may as well unlock the sets.

Y’know..? ‘Cause they aren’t race specific, now?

Totally support. We can leave race starting sets to be race specific for saving the uniqueness, but underwear is just an undwear.
And while I'm okay with what Male Miqo'te have, I would like to be able to wear Hyur Midlanders version. And considering that Viera and Hroths now share hempen with other races... is there a sense to keep it locked?

I hope that's a sign of them thinking "why make new ones when we're going to unlock the old ones" and not just them being lazy and putting out unfinished races.

Yes please unlock the sets! More unlocked gear the better!

[Avidria]

Yes please and thank you

[Esmoire]

I think the rewards from Ishgard Restoration expose how desperate people were to finally get a tank top anyone could wear. At minimum making the top middie men get open to everyone would be awesome!

Yes please, I dlike to use Miqote one on Viera

[Skivvy]

Yes please, I dlike to use Miqote one on Viera

I'd like to use miqo hempen on everything.

Fantasiaing away from my tank top hurts me every time.

After reading this thread more, it seems like a Community Representative has said they have forwarded it to the dev team, and that they are “considering” adding it to a future update. That statement bothers me, because it’s been a little over 2 years since that post, and we haven’t had any updates on the matter from Yoshida or the dev team.

Hello again, Eorzeans.

We appreciate your continued feedback on the subject of unlocking the variances in appearance of the Hempen set across all races.

It looks like an overwhelming majority of you are very interested in this! As such, we have forwarded this feedback to the development team. In response, they would like to let you know that they are considering this for a future update!

I was also reading the previous Live Letter “Ask a Question” threads, and I saw a few people mention Hempen outfits being accessible to all races, and why Viera/Hrothgar are somehow the only exceptions. It seems it wasn’t brought up in the recent Live Letters either. So, that tells me they are dodging the question for some reason. What I want to know is this. Is the reason the Hempen design accessibility questions regarding Viera/Hrothgar are constantly ignored, because Square Enix is planning on surprising us with good news soon? Or because they do not have an answer to this hypocrisy, and choose to not respond whenever it is brought up. It’s just, “racial identity” doesn’t hold up anymore at this point.

Whatever the reason is, fine with me. But not responding to your players when they ask “Why do Viera and Hrothgar have hand me down Hempen designs? Do you plan on making them all accessible for every race to wear?” just seems a bit strange to me. Sorry for the long winded post. It is just admittedly very frustrating.

Would be nice if Luxpheras could update us on the situation.
