*Sprays Acacia with water*
You MAKE me do this to you Acacia! You think I LIKE spraying you with water!?
DO YOU!?
There's no such thing as values and Idealism on the internet!
Mr. Beck? WelcomeTroll, 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?
Not 100% rightI 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 dont really mind it. Mostly cause its super rare for SE to make any sort of 'service' armour like this to start off with.
FFXIV Since Sep. 2010: Selbina/Ridill/Excalibur (Mergers)
Currently moved to Leviathan
I remember the Alpha days when even breathing lagged you
yes like look at Spartacus that is almost pin point accurate men pretty much only wore Subligars and only got helmets and or shields IF they were good and got there Masters alot of money. It was your name if you were a well known Slave/Gladiator you got more if you were a first timer you wore nothing. And exactly the same for woman, cause they veiwed it as the same as a male no chest protection just cause you had breasts men dont get chest protection.

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.
This is true... would like to keep it that way.
^ Right on~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.

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~
