Request to unlock Hempen set styles

Who told you that?

It was a joke.

It's only at 25 pages. You got a long way to go.


Still against it btw.

Mine says 104 pages? But what I really don't understand is why you'd want race specific clothes? Especially nightwear?

I can understand locking starter gear but even that's a stretch as nothing there really screams "this is race x specific cultural wear" and more like "here's some rag tag clothes until you can enjoy something you like". Most gear that Miqote tribes and Au Ri tribes wear we can also wear so imo the cultural argument falls flat anyway.

There's an option to show a total of 40 replies per page vs. whatever the default amount is (far less). Some people get all smug about their choice of settings for some reason. :3

Had XIV been a game where each race comes with, and only has, unique hairstyles and unique armor designs, I could see someone not wanting to share one of the racial styles. However, XIV has made it pretty clear at this point that everyone gets everything, and it all pretty much looks the same regardless of what race you play. It really makes no sense to keep the underwear locked.

Wait, so o.o you guys want this too?

(and yeah, anyone can wear the Shisui gear, the Steppe gear, Ala Mhigan gears and the Bozja Resistance coats. This is a bit of a stretch, but we can wear the Garlean gear too, not only the ones dropped from dungeons, but also the ones the MSQ gives us to infiltrate bases with)

The underwear one is especially jarring considering we're all human"oid". More human than "oid", even, as the things that change the most are our heads and the presence of a tail. Whether we're small or large is, at least to me, a minor point considering we literally scale everything to fit both a Lalafell and a Roegadyn anyway. Au Ra have a slighter pass because they have scales across their body so they might not feel okay with tighter fits, but if you look at their take on the hempen set, it doesn't discriminate over them having scales, as other gear pieces don't either. They're still treated as flat with no texture, as does everyone else.
