New coliseum gear too lewd

[AcaciaTyrannia]

Everyone knows that bikinis in Beach Volleyball at the Olympics just desperate pandering to attract TV viewing audiences. Just look what happens when the girls try to keep warm for games.

My point was that a few sexy outfits in FFXIV is fine -- if implemented in a relevant context. (I'd prefer they were restricted to NPCs though, Any time you introduce something to the players in an MMO, multiply it's effect by 2000x).

Think of it like Cayenne pepper... a dash in the right dish makes things spicy and interesting, a cup of it added to everything is revolting.


Sidenote: Funny thing. We are all regularly bombarded with instructions to eat healthier, don't smoke, buckle-up, recycle, exercise, don't be judgmental, give blood, stop eating meat, don't bully, reduce our carbon footprint, don't text while driving, hate the rich/banks/oil companies, eat organic, celebrate diversity, support public eduction via higher taxation, etc.

Whenever this happens, people generally listen and agree (or not) and then peaceably go about their business.

However, if you were to suggest that dressing/acting modestly might be a good thing as well, most of those same people will become indigent to the point of rage at the idea.

Ever wonder why?

I know this will be hard for you, but exercise common sense. This is a game full of conserative look. There previously were no sexy outfits at all, yet when they added one after players requested it, close minded individuals sought to impose their ideals on everyone else, rather than accept variety as a good thing. I know how feminist love to play the victim card, but look around you: You're the attempting oppressor here.

And here I thought feminism was about choice. Silly me.

I detest feminism and have no time for feminists.

Nice straw man you've got there.

Oh, you're just a troll and a stalker. My mistake for assuming you actually had some values or ideals this whole time.

Troll, Stalker, Prude, Oppressor, Feminist, Fat Chick... anything else? Hitler maybe?

As I said, its odd how this particular subject seems to rile people up like nothing else.

My motivations however, have always been consistent. As a fan of the series, I want to see FFXIV live up to the prestige of its (largely) classy franchise history and not degenerate into some sort of digital fap gallery, WOW clone, or a cheap cross-promotional marketing whore.

This sums it up nicely.

Still, it's apparently dangerous business to get between someone and their perceived freedom to experience sexual jollies in a video game. So let's say we just agree to disagree... k?

Hey guys, did you know that you can look sexy and/or attractive without reducing yourselves to wearing a simple loincloth? Mind-blowing, I know.

The biggest problem with the game isn't that it lacks "sexy gear". The problem is that all the gear is inherently too damn "heavy" looking what with an overabundance of clunky armors, heavy leather and cloth shirts/gowns. All of that weighs down(no pun intended) on a person's sense of aesthetics.

[Zantetsuken]

i dont really mind it. Mostly cause its super rare for SE to make any sort of 'service' armour like this to start off with.

This is true... would like to keep it that way.

^ Right on~

I'd also add that the game just needs better gear designs. The swimsuits are a bit skimpy, but they are swimsuits so at least their form follows their function.

On the other hand, the vast majority of the gear is deathly bland (which is fine for low level stuff), or like Darksteel or Moogle weapons, is OTT goofy-looking -- which ought to be reserved for TRUE endgame (lvl 80+)

The dev's need to fill out the center -- both in level and in style -- which is where the game's aesthetic is generally established.

Although the new starting gear gives me hope.. it's pretty sharp looking~

I demand SE add this as the Next swimsuit.




Cause im a man who like to look at woman in skimpy swim suits! Except fat chick they make need weight limits on swim suits. And men should get this!!



Cause god know we look fabulous as is! A one size fits all speedo cause were men and we look good in these even fat men can wear it! Cause were men, come on now.
