Im tired of casual attire glams

[ZephyrMenodora]

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!

Sorry I don't, but gorgeous art! Also I always had a soft spot for Terra - her outfit is very unique and I keep hoping they'd bring it over. I'd also take a Terra minion. She's my favorite Final Fantasy character out of all of them.

Oh I know! And I’d love to have the hairstyle she has in this picture… or Celes’… I know they’ve thrown stuff from 6 in here and there, but I’m kinda sad we didn’t get Relm’s outfit for PCT AF. And if they ever redid the Opera scene somehow, and gave us Maria’s dress, I would cry! (There was a moment I thought it may get worked into DT, but it ended up being a sword fight… iykyk… lol)

Krile's hair is quite similar, if they let us have it.

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

This. This image deserves its own thread... I'd like to know that SE sees how embarrassing and creatively bankrupt their wardrobe is from a player perspective.

At least for crafted glamours they now let us wear the version they designed for female character models so we are slowly slowly getting some variety in what is available, but it's still a big issue for AF/dungeon/crafted sets where for ladies item looks like a unique piece of armor that matches the set's aesthetic but for guys it's just another full length pair of pants... maybe some extra belts and straps if they're feeling fancy.

I'd love it if they just gave us what the ladies are getting, I am so serious.
If you give the feminine set a skin reveal then give masculine set one too, and if people don't want to show leg then boy are they in luck because there are hundreds of fully-covered leg options already in-game that they can glam to instead!

Give us more shorts. Island sanctuary alone introduced like half of the available shorts glamours.
There is so much untapped potential in shorts since we only have like 5 pairs. Shorts with different waistline heights. Shorts with patterns. Shorts with interesting hem cuts. We need more lengths, and yes extra short ones. Why are my SCH AF shorts flush with the boots when the F set isn't?

If they insist on doing modern then where are the sock garter + shorts combos? Even SCH hasn't gotten that as a counterpart to the skirt+stocking versions that ladies get.

We didn't even get a proper set of 9S shorts/socks in Neir...

I drew this before they had unlocked the gender restrictions and I was being salty about it, but I still wish they had at least given us interesting socks to match the set's design with the stockings.
I'm also tired of getting fancy dress shoes that don't include socks, it's so gross. There are so many interesting sock designs they could have added to try and make the stale slack sets a little more interesting. "One does want a hint of color."


And that's just modern options.
Similar to OP I would love to see them steer away from the more modern looks and return to the higher fantasy stuff for glamours, but we don't even have many modern shorts/cargo/capri options for guys (and what we have is largely mogstation or locked behind untradeable, uncraftable, endgame content), so I'm still alright getting more as long as it's not slacks.

It's so disappointing every time they create a "new" lvl 1 glamour set that can be used by all jobs, and waste the utility of that by re-releasing the same slacks we've had for 10 years.

So... when's the next armor/glamour design contest, SE?

[Khryseis_Astra]

Krile's hair is quite similar, if they let us have it.

Hopefully they do… probably as part of a cash shop set with her new outfit, but I don’t even care. Those curls would be so nice!

Also I think I found the artist for anyone who’s interested: Ryoji Ohara (under the supervision of Akihiko Yoshida, not sure if that means they both did the drawing or what). But I love their character style!

So... when's the next armor/glamour design contest, SE?

I can’t draw, but there’s quite a few ideas I’d submit! I don’t think I’ve seen a contest the entire time I’ve been playing and I’ve been here since Stormblood.

[Balmung_Griffin]

I dream of a monster series, where gear would have elements from classic monsters, but I can't draw to save my life.

Not just tacking some monster parts, but actually using color scheme and key elements, that lightly evokes the monster/primal as needed.

And then lots of options open up as the games has so many iconic enemies.

I have to agree with the OP, as much as I like my casual glams, I want to see more fantasy glamours introduced. This is the same series that used Yoshitaka Amanos designs for the first 6 games and we instead seem to focus on button up shirts and slacks.

Speaking of Yoshitaka Amano.

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

While I don't know who the artist for those illustrations are, it shows just how good those old Amano designs are, and I want to see a lot more of this in game than yet more jackets and slacks. The moonward sets were great and some of my favourite tome gear in a while, but I'd also like to see more of that kind of aesthetic in the level 1 all classes gear too. That's not to say we haven't had any; Island Sanctuary gave more interesting sets like the Baronial set and the Felicitous set, as well as the Happiness set from early in Endwalkers life, they just feel drowned out by everything else.

Y'know what, several expansions worth of 'classic medieval' glamors would open up to everyone if they just removed role restrictions on glamor.

Also this. I'd complain a lot less around modern and futuristic glamours if I had less restrictions on the fantasy combat gear. Even still, it'd be nice to see "casual fantasy" stuff that isn't designed for combat like the Hraesvelgr set every now and then.
