    Instead of SE wasting their time and going back to remove race-lock, why not just move forward and create more unique, high quality items? Regardless, I don't see unlocking Hempen gear as a big deal - how often do you see anyone actually wear any of it? I see it as a waste of time and clearly so do SE because this still isn't a thing/they're in no rush to make it happen.

    Currently its "Remove the race-lock Hempen gear, it's unfair" then for the next 4 years it'll be "Remove gender-lock for Hempen gear, it's sexist and homophobic" It's a continuous pattern and there's other things the design team should be focusing on, this is not a priority.

    Simple enough, those "more unique, high quality items" require more work than resizing these, and you still have the same quantity result of one more top that your character can wear.

    It's not wasting time if people want it, and the item models already exist so theoretically they can just work whatever magic they do when they create gear for basic human shape first and convert it to fit all the other races.

    Plus the items would get more use overall if everyone had access to every style, because that means there are seven chances for the designs to work with your glamours instead of one. (Really, have you seen how nice the Elezen camise looks? Or Miqo'te being a simple halterneck top? I think they would get a lot of use.)

    Also, some races just get stuck with weird hempen outfit styles and it would be nice for them to not be walled in to only having that one style available.

    Would that be an actual problem? Aside from a number of the male styles being physically unviable for female bodies within the game's rating, at least...

    I think it would be less likely to happen, though. More redesign work for the devs, and I think people would be calling for it now if they wanted it.

    First paragraph - fair enough. I stand by not seeing the racial lock adding much in this case, because there's nothing about them that really screams a certain style beyond "casual" or "cutesy" or... borderline lingerie I guess lol (at least for the female versions anyway).

    To the rest of your points, I don't really see it as a big deal or a priority either. It's just something that would be nice and that I'd personally like to see. I don't see why they can't add new items and also refit these though, even if it takes longer.

    It also isn't about fairness for me, it's just about having a preference for the looks. I actually really like the fem Miqo and fem Midlander versions, but I very rarely play Midlander and have fantasiad back and forth between Miqo, au ra, and Viera (when available) for years. I'm not a fan of the au ra version because it's a little more frilly and works with fewer glamours, but I can do a lot with the other two. I especially use the hempen shirt a lot when I'm fem Miqo. I'd like to be able to use it when I swap, and especially think it'd look good on Viera. Who are already sharing a look anyway.

    for a year, would you rather be secretly filmed at random moments and have the footage uploaded to your social media or loose $100 when ever you said a curse word?
