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?
