OMG! *gasps and faints*
S-E finally decided to use for the first time a female elezen in their screenshots to showcase armor! It must be the end of the world! Oh wait it is...*stares at Dalamud*

Jokes aside. Seriously this is really their first time in doing so. Thank you S-E for not forgetting the other races.

I decided to go on a quest to prove you wrong. And I only managed by the skin of my teeth...

Yes, it's been a LONG time.

Unless you count showing off the primal weapons and class-specific weapons, when a female elezen was involved every time.

He picked the best colors for elezen's yukata

It also seems we get sandals also.

Even though RMT is actually US based which merely use chinese as the farmers...they should keep the US away from everyone else too. Given regulations on chinese game development, they will most likely have a separate server setup as well as version because for example you can't display undead or certain types of death in China.

oh this is true, chinese will not allow undead to be shown, reason why wrath of the lich king took so long to come out in china.

Those event items are hot. Ppl finally get something sexy looking and they still complain, damn you FFXIV forums where no one knows what they really want.

Lol those Yukata are far from sexy, imo. Go look up Maya from Tenjou Tenge...THAT is sexy haha or Kanu Unchou's yukata. Oh well, I don't really like them at all ; ; I usually love the event items to death. I'll stop QQing now and disappear lol :>

And hurray for SE releasing the patch on my birthday..WITH NO SWIMSUITS...THX SE ; ; (Assuming it comes out on july 25th in america, since we are day behind japan, idk)

It also seems we get sandals also.

It's probably like the Reindeer suit, and the entire body is one piece of equipment...which sucks, because I can't wear my Star-Spangled Subligar with these if that's the case... :\

[LlenCoram]

Sorta disappointed they're so short, but what can you do. I'll be wearing mine nonstop regardless .

They are rather cute too.


EDIT: Not sure if this was mentioned elsewhere (I don't feel like reading 5 pages of stuff), but is that a new emote? Looks like a new emote to me.

Maybe a new dance?

[Awdogsgo2heaven]

China will have separate servers because it's required by law so the government has access to them. Also the cooperation between square and the Chinese company is required by law. Has nothing to do with RMT and despite the almost racist attitude some western gamers have towards Chinese not all Chinese are RMT in fact Chinese players hate RMT as much as western players. the light regulation in china coupled with 1.4 billion people who need jobs are the reason why RMT trade is there in the first place.

[Luluna]

I like the new items for this year, i love my swimsuits but these are far classier than a bit of bikini! I would have liked more detail on them pattern wise but they are pretty and the red is lovely
