Gaia's Outfit on Mogstation

[MistyMew]

The one item sets need to stop se, stop being lazy and separate each piece so we can mix and match, the boots are not the best look wise but at least they are high heels. I would have bought the outfit for the boots but NOT when forced to wear that god awful body piece lol

why i it so difficult for them to get simple things right?

This has really gotta be it. Because older NPC outfits didn't actually have unique parts (like Yda's and the gang before HW) with the exception of Minfilia and Minfilia's outfit is a single piece.

Actually, Yda's is built as a single piece, presumably because of the layering of her shirt and gloves – IIRC the sleeve frills get tucked into the gloves if you equip those pieces together, but Yda has the frills loose over the gloves, so it must have been a custom assembly. They still should have been able to provide her shorts and sabatons separately, though.

Because it one piece they must be lazy. Lol

Ridiculous pricing for a single item lmfao
This should cost 5$. Same goes for the weapon set, 9$ for a single model LOL

I'm disappointed, but not surprised, that it's one piece. I am relieved they accounted for it not including a hairstyle in the price and marked it at 12$ even with the hammer glamour as part of the set. Gaia's hairstyle is very cool when it's not in motion, but it was made for her very limited cutscene interactions, and would have needed to be heavily edited for it to look natural on player characters. I recall one particular scene even had to be edited because it looked so absurd - the transition in E12S when Gaia falls to her knees before transforming. Her hair would stick RIGHT UP. Even Lyse's hairstyle, which I use on my female character, has more limited structure than other ponytails in the game.

I wish they could come up with some kind of alternative solution that just separated her boots and tights into a new item. Same with Lyse's attire. Still, all-in-all this is probably one of the more fairly priced NPC sets. At least they didn't jack up the cost just because it's a highly anticipated set. It's not something I'm going to buy, least of all at full price, but I hope it satisfies some of the folks who have been waiting to be able to dress up like Gaia.

Not buying a one piece outfit and overpriced hammmers. Do better Mog Team. You would get more sales if you put effort in.

The only thing I could really think of is it somehow is easier to port some outfits as a one piece and others as multiple. Dunno tho.

This is exactly why they started doing this. Instead of having to make individual items fit to our character, they're essentially giving us a tweaked version of Gaia's model. In the case of Ryne, she's just a scaled down Midlander with a custom head morph. So the work on her outfit was already done.

I remember them claiming it was to save on our inventory space but either that was an excuse or they just believe people only buy these outfits to cosplay as NPC characters.

That's what I figured was the reason as well, along with the complexity of the piece(s) and how they would interact with other items maybe? Lyse and Minfilia are standard Midlanders afaik but they have 1 piece outfits and outfits that come in several pieces.

Easy solution, do Eden's Promise savage unsynced. The healer/caster outfit looks almost the same, it is dyeable, comes in 5 different pieces and you don't have to pay extra for it.


Sure it doesn't have the high heels and the sleeves aren't quite that ridiculous, but it's also not a lazy NPC recycle and you can mix & match however you like.

While Gaia's attire is nice, I think people mostly wanted her shoes.

Edit: Replied too soon and saw you mentioned the shoes in your edit
