Off Topic Discussion Megathread

Re: male/female armor design - gotta say, I'm glad there are some franchises (such as Soulsborne) which stick heavily to a chosen aesthetic that works for all genders, rather than divides masc-options into pure, functional armor and femme-options into "skimpy battle bikini with frills".

As a girl wanting to (usually) play female characters, it's incredibly tiring when my only options are various levels of skimpy or otherwise lovely armor sets ruined by not even tastefully-designed skin showing. Look, I'm a heavily femme-leaning bisexual - I appreciate T&A as much as anyone, and sometimes I don't mind the armor sets if I'm making a character I want to look at and ogle a bit while I play! But T&A out-skin everywhere-body suit type 'armors' aren't the only thing ladies can look good in.

Dunno about most of you, but to me there is nothing hotter than a woman in full plate mail. I will die on this hill.

Femroe starting racial gear.

MEDIC, WE NEED A MEDIC FOR KAORU!!!

:P



Being serious for a minute, I've grown quite fond of seeing my Femroe in the traditional chainmail outfit 99% of Ishgardian soldiers wear. She's got a generic "light armor because boats" outfit that I appreciate, but it's hard not to like a Goddess in full chain mail; particularly in the frozen wastes of Coerthas.

Femroes certainly have some of the best starter gear imo, but they also become 100x hotter to me when they're in a full set of heavy tank armor. xD Armor just does wonders for people's silhouette - and the more grungy and battle-worn it is, the better tbh.

Which is part of why I super appreciate the aesthetics of Soulsborne armor sets (and man, some of what I've seen from Elden Ring so far is already blowing a lot of the old stuff out of the water). That said, Dragon's Dogma also had some really nice armor sets!... you just had to find them, and layer well.

I'll die with you for this.

Can we talk about the possibility of making muscular chicks too? I know it's perfectly stupid, but this cosmetic option is what made me choose one race over another.

All genders and races in this game deserve muscle sliders and I will die on this hill as well.

If I have one hope for female Hrothgar when we see them in 7.0 (hopefully), it's that they're as tall as femroes, as muscled as their male counterparts, and with completely feline faces rather than just "miqo'te girls painted over with a fur tool". Don't be like ArcheAge and moe-fy the big cat women, thanks.

I would have died for "real" miqo'te and I really hope they don't waste this opportunity with the Hrothgard females.

Gimme those ferocious catgirl, not some cutesy cosplay.
