If anything I would much rather we see future Garlean fashion that leans more into their magitek side. Honestly the Soviet comparisons really did not flower until we travelled to Garlemald and EW I feel, and even then it was more evocative then a direct couterpart.

    I do find it interesting when those who have previously said they dislike politics in video games are supportive of things like this as… well, this is far more political then someones gender I would say.



    Can you blame them? You are flying a bit close to the sun here even for you. Whilst the Soviets from WW2 may be a far cry from the fascists in power now, they are currently engaged in a horrific war. Plus I have seen in other fandoms certain people cry for such military outfits, but to be used for less savoury means. Sexy cat ladies is a far cry from the horrible types of roleplay I have seen people wish to recreate with ‘militaristic’ gear, no matter the source.

    Pretty sure Stalin caused almost as many if not more deaths than a certain other figure I won't name here.



    But people tend to forget that part of history.

    A lot of people also forget the part of history of the extreme atrocities Imperial Japan committed during ww2 in Asia.

    Truth is, there is no need for more military-type glamours now that Garlean Empire doesn't exist. What they should do instead is keep adding QoL features and so on.

    Yeah, I'm not sure why he can't just dye the lv 83 set Olive, Ochu, Adamantoise, or Nophica green. Now it's been awhile since I've seen how well those sets dye but those mentioned dyes do get close to the color the op wants and are already military styled.

    Edit: If they dye anything similar to how the Pactmaker's gathering set dyes then Olive green dye would work. Unless he's going to shoot that down cause of it having a cape

    Honestly that was the most shocking thing when I developed an interest in that era of history. Things like Unit 731 ect, really horrific.
