Where is FFXIV headed in terms of sexism?

[Laiferr]

Let me start of by saying that, for a Japanese game, the issue of objectification doesn't surprise or shock me at all, proceeding by saying, I pretty much objectify everyone, and not only in this particular game. I just love seeing a nice body model in nice clothes, mostly myself Can't help it, love dress-up and love seeing others do it.

Equal parts opportunist, if you will. Enjoy having a nice looking female Miqo'te fight by my side just as much as I like a Roegadyn muscleman on my other side /shrug . . . . Furthermore, the way I dress down to my skimpies is something I'd never actually do irl so all this fantasy thing is like a fun thing for me to do.

Frankly, I've had enough of covered up characters in some other MMOs that I've played so far, and we still have an option to look "serious" in XIV. Just grateful that we also have an option to wear really silly looking clothes (Coliseum gear, bikinis. . . .) as well.

It's not only about the girls, us guys are always unjustly left out each time

I think that's a good attitude to have, and more of an exception than the rule. Most I know who would, say, want to see a female avatar in sexy gear, would never dream of asking their male-avatar friends to do the same. Perhaps only in a comical manner. I think that reaches more into issues with perceived 'homosexuality' which is off on a bit of a tangent.

I think the coliseum armour looks silly, but I am glad the male and female counterparts are similar for each other.

I'm not really a fan of people slinging the -isms around as much as they are, but as a guy playing a female miqo'te (and not changing in ARR), I was actually kinda put off by just how bloody short the new RSE skirt is. Every single step was a pantyshot.

I'm ok with the occasional skimpy gear. The coliseum stuff was more of a novelty for me in our world of realistic armour, but I'd like it to stay that way. I found XI was the same. We have realistic, proper armour, and even beyond that the design for the clothing looks and "feels" so real that if didn't have two hands composed entirely of thumbs, I would actually try and recreate the clothing in real life.

I thought they were joking about the boob jiggle physics... I guess not (I'm glad I'm keeping Llen small-chested), but it's something that I'm rarely if ever going to notice so... whatever. They want to do it, go ahead. However, if I wanted bouncing, jiggling T&A in my face all day every day, I'd play Tera. Please keep our actual armour/clothing realistic, much as can be. Then, when people feel like fooling around and putting on bikinis or things like the coliseum gear, it'll actually mean something instead of just being another 90% naked body in a sea of adventurers wearing metal thongs and codpieces and nothing else.

I pretty much agree! If they're going to make the jiggling 'subtle' then I don't know why they're bothering with it at all. It's just... with all the current animation issues people are griping over, it's so bizarre to be perfecting and taking feedback on their jiggle physics.
