Im tired of casual attire glams

[PaulusHamsteru]

I'm so sick of it. So much wasted resources spent on modeling the same pair of pants over and over again

That's the thing, it's not wasted resources if you keep reusing the same model and maybe alter it a bit over and over again. It's getting ridiculous.

Not that it’s a defence of the design (if anything it makes it worse) but does anyone even see their characters pants anymore

Between every set of boots being knee high and almost all coats actually being pseudo robes (or actual robes for the casters) you never even see pants anyway

And on medieval side we'd have:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 11, 12( yes, 12), 16. If we're counting Ivalice, Tactics.
All of then have knights running around on full armor, classic kingdom and castles.

As I said, it's not a rule.
Back to XIV, is very understandable where they're coming from, as the non casual gear mesh better with the general aesthetic of locations/NPCs.

6 is mostly medieval fantasy with some steampunk elements in certain areas. Or a blend of the two.

I need more victorian bustle and rococo dresses, Edwardian skirt suits.

I never knew the names but omg I *need* these. Please!

Chalk me up as another one bored with this trend. Maybe they can go back to it in a while, but I really want more battle variation in the seldom pieces of new attire in the game, rather than more jammies.

While I'm all for having both options of casual and fantasy gear, that image really highlights the levels we've reached. You can point at the differences like Salon Server or Southern Sea. But without a label, I doubt most players could recognize majority of those. If you slap another colour and can't tell them apart anymore, why do we need to have near-copies of the same thing.

I prefer high-fantasy attire for fantasy RPGs, and really dislike modern outfits like track suits and baseball caps. It's so jarring. It's regrettable so many seem to love them.

My cut-off for fashion in these games would be maybe Victorian era.

And one of my favorite games in the series! : D

I think these images are from the Brave Exvius, but I’d love to see some stuff in this kind of style…



On a side note, does anyone know the name of this artist so I could see more of their work? Google isn’t helping me!
