Letter from the Producer, XXXII (07/23/2012)

Yeah, me too ; ; This is what I mean by SE saying one thing and always disappointment :/ The Yukata are cute/pretty but they are not sexy...at all lol. If I was trying to be sexy for someone I wouldn't go put on that Yukata...>.>

Yet another piece of 'skimpy' event gear to throw in the back of my closet. I mean this as sincerely as possible - to the FFXIV team, please realise that not every piece of gear needs to be sexy, and if you are trying to do sexy, it doesn't mean just making something barely crotch length. I am hoping this progression gets knocked off in the re-boot and we can then see our characters in a variety of cute, classy and yes, the occasional (well done) sexy outfit.

Lol... Catch 22.

Lol... Catch 22.

Pretty much.

Not really; I was agreeing that they're not sexy. They're clearly attempting to be, maybe it's just me but as I said simply making something crotch length doesn't make it 'sexy'. It just looks silly. Also, I am aware short Yukata are fashionable, but not really this short (every time you step forward you flash your panties kind of short. You can see this on the Miqo'te example). And of course if I don't like them I won't get them, no worries there. I think I'm just a bit disappointed since a factor in what made FFXI appeal to me is that female gear wasn't super skimpy; yes, generally, it showed a bit more skin than the male versions, but on the whole I found the outfits appealing and fairly sensible.

I can however appreciate FFXIV is not FFXI and they seem to want to take it down the 'sexier' gear route, along with the suggestive posing and comments and the such. Quite simply, it's just not for me, and I guess that's that!

You realize that the yukatas in XI were short too . . . .

They did come with pants if I remember right. (I hope I do lol)
Actually they should have just added pants. Let people choose if they want to run around with or without them. Actually...can we wear pants with them? It's not like we have confirmation or denial for it. Perhaps we are all complaining about something silly and we can simply wear some pants with it. But that is to wait and see.

Just like the 'wedding dress' top part was also short, as was the Yukata, since the game doesn't allow for long clothes. So instead they made things as a shirt and you put whatever you want in the pants slot. So I always wore mine with trousers, just as some wore them with subligars. I'm sure I read that these are a full body piece - whoever said that might have just been speculating, so we'll see.
