Valentione's Day 2014 Edition

[frostmagemari]

Gotta say, i'm getting a little tired of the gender armour.. I don't know if even half the costume designers have actually spoken to a real woman, but not all of us want to wear miniskirts, high stockings and generally look like every outfit was designed to be modeled in front of a guy; While the male version of the outfit looks like an actual outfit that's suited to be worn outside.

I mean really.. you see both of those outfits being worn by people in the real world; Most would think that the man was a chef at a restaurant (even if they thought the colour scheme was gaudy); While the look of the female armour would get her pegged as a theme stripper.

I'm not saying -don't- make the miniskirt (and other armours) but give the women a chance to wear the respectable clothes (and of course give the guys the chance to wear their own *ahem* stylized clothing.)

It doesn't matter what you want to wear, Knee-Soken has spoken and he demands knee-socks for all ladies! Bwahahahahahahahahahahaahahaaaaa!

Added: And not sure if you guys realize or not.. but that stuff in the OP at the bottom (about LB and dmg crafters), total BS.

The hearts pieces are the items, Left Heart, Right Heart. Use them together at the same time standing next to someone using the other.. and you get the result in the picture. They're like fireworks.

Oh thank god! This is totally the real world, ...oh wait.
(No, it didn't change anything)

Haha...this reminds me of...

When I become Fuhrer President, all female personnel in the military...will have to wear mini-skirts.

Stripper, really? Only in America maybe.

Actually the female armor is what you would find on the streets of Akiba and in any maid cafe. I mean that sincerely and I love adore the female fashions. I just wish we got the black cat, too.

Perhaps 'stripper' is too strong of a description, but really "maid cafe" attire isn't much better ('cause if anyone thinks the maid attire is intended to be anything but eye candy...).

I'm not complaining about the armour being an option, i'm complaining about this kind of armour being the -only- option for women.

It would be nice if they'd stop restricting armor by gender and just let us pick.

And yes, that means I'm supporting guys wearing the frilly dress.

Is anyone else disappointed that the male outfit just looks like a rehashed Culinarian AF top? I already have a Culinarian AF top now I feel like I will have 2

This is the only thing keeping me from being too upset over the fetish maid gear the women get. It really does look nearly identical. >_<

Doubly disappointing that we're not gonna have a chance to get any of the 1.0 items, it seems...

Although I understand and sympathize where you're coming from, I actually like this attire - the maid costume is more in the 'elegant lolita' fashion style that is actually a popular subculture in Japan which I've always had a fascination with (I admit I squeed when I first saw that concept art for these costumes back in one of the Live letters last year).

Incidentally, Square Enix does actually have women on it's art design team, so your argument that SE's art team are out of touch isn't right - if anything FFXIV is one of the more tamer MMOs I've seen when it comes to female fashion and armour (about the only slutty armour in the game is the Colosseum gear, and even that makes sense in context). FFXI was a far worse offender in that regard.

Anyway, I can't wait for this! I can't wait to see my bf's character in the maid costume hehe.

I just punched a walrus in the face.

Why? I saw that artwork. Most notably, the cat.
I scrolled down to the rewards for this event. No new cat minion.

Aww, the poor walrus!

To me the cat looks more like the Cait Sith minion, which would explain why a cat minion isn't included in the event. But then I'm probably wrong.
