Sex appeal ?

Here you go: http://static.finalfantasyxiv.com/to...6/97/949_1.jpg

Now the world will be flooded by female characters (being played by males) running around in bikinis.

I've only read the first page of this thread, but seriously: I respected FFXIV for not having any 'sex appeal'. It doesn't need it, at all. It needs cool armor (which it sort of has, but it lacks the awesome factor of AF armor of FFXI), not the standard miniskirts and breastplates and metal thongs you see in mostly all Korean MMORPGs.

It reminds me of an image (which I won't link to) which had the byline "armour class - the less it covers the higher the armour rating". I actually like FFXIV's armour, it could do with more variety but the way it stands currently the armour models fit the intended purposes. Mages look like mages with pointy hats and long flowing robes giving the appearance of sage ineffability. DoL gear looks like the sort of gear you would actually wear when out chopping a tree in olden times.

I can't quite imagine someone going fishing in that dress, be pretty hard to find waders that would suit it.

Heavy armour should be just that, heavy - a recent study shows just how heavy it was, as heavy as a modern soldiers backpack except all the weight being carried by the legs, it was also very restrictive on the breathing, you start taking bits away here and there to make it look "appealing" and the next thing you know some fella has cut your leg and your head gets chopped off.

Armour should be made to distinguish your class, I see a fella in a pointy hat and a robe carrying a wizards staff (which has a knob on the end - 5 points for the reference!) and I know their a mage class. I see that same person in hot pants and a flower in their hair I'm going to start wondering when SE introduced the hippy class to the game and I'll be trying to buy some class C's off them.

Dear square Enix
As a loving fan and long supporter of the ff series, I say the following in all seriousness.
Statisticly, if you want to sell entertainment you need two things. Sex appeal and violence. Final Fantasy 14 is desperately lacking in sex appeal. Some of the most anticipated mmorpgs for2011, Tera, blade and soul etc. Have some very appealing male and female character models and armor. If you were to compare ff14 to those games right now, the story and battle systems both have their own uniqu strong points. Those other games also have a high level of sex appeal. Because of this, if something is not changed with ff14, I firmly believe ff14 will loose to those other games. I say this as a die hard ff14 fan who is wishing and praying for the succes of ff14.


Thank you for you time.

( edit)
I say the above not because I want to masturbate, but because I genuinely want ff14 to succeed on a large scale level.

For everyone who feels the need to leave deconstructive criticism , please refrain.
Anyone who has taken a psychology 101 class should know what I said above is nothing far from common knowledge. If you want to talk bad about this topic i suggest that you take it to the discussion thread.

The Sex appeal in the game is just fine, remember we don't wan't our female characters dancing like Night Elves on WoW.

I wonder if this reminded anyone else of the Dissidia Duodecim boards on gamefaqs way back around december and the day the place got flooded with sex appeal. Good times! :P
