Can we get female outfits that are a little sexier?

[jwang]

Speedos of course. And any type of Zettai Ryouki. Never could have enough of that.

[Wynn]

I'd like to see skirts that don't have pants/giant leg socks attached. Make them unisex too. I want a kilt >.<

[Eekiki]

That will require some geometric reshaping of the character models.

It can be done, though!

More girlish clothing for mages. 8D Ones that end at the knees. Difference in how clothing looks, no matter if it's unisex. Even if robes are both m/f some distinguishing characteristic like in Scholar's men's shirts were un-tucked, while the women's were tucked into the skirt.

Something that goes away from high fantasy in some respects...

I guess, over all, a little more use of texture while also continuously adding to the current fabric/leather choices. So far everything's rather barbaric with the use of skins, but there are not many, or no, uses of fancy textiles.

While making gear that's unique to a class is important, ie AF armour, it's not too much to ask to have unique looking gear?

A poor example maybe as it's based around Scholar's AF, But this is a lovely vest, and I see that Galka has fur around his. Those would be excellent details to add to future gear.

SE could do sexy outfits with the current clothing models, too.
like Yda : http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy...1/18/YdaHQ.jpg
Maybe with another boots

I would like THM to be on the guantlets that the Lalafell wears int he opening cutscene, not saying its sexy but he wears them "QQ"

[Eldaena]

Oooooh, no thanks. I don't need crazy beads and colors everywhere amano style or ridiculous asymmetrical beltanzipper nomura stuff.

>.>; Do you even like final fantasy? lol Amano drawings are beautiful and although equivalent armor would be difficult to design for in game purposes, it would be really inspiring. Nomura's style has some wonderful possibilities too. If you want to wear boring and uninspiring, that's cool. I don't particularly want gear ridiculously over the top, but detailed gear does not = bad gear or that it shouldn't be considered for future gear. Elegant, but fitting for the environment kind of gear can be eye-catching as well as fit players desires for more original garb.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. There are some interesting ideas that are being presented in the thread - and I'm sure everyone can agree that we don't want to go overboard, but it can still be something fun to implement. Any specific types of outfits/armors you want to see specifically? I'll try and compile a list for the dev. team to peruse.

Hi Bayohne,

There are lots of interesting / fun ideas floating around on this thread. Ultimately I think we should leave it in the hands of the Art Director to make sure it fits within the world of Final Fantasy XIV (and not end up with a giant mish-mash of Artistic Styles from 20 different Movies, Games & Anime).

Here are some fun outfits for possible inspiration:

* Shining Wind - Character Designer TONY's artwork always has a nice flow and aesthetic.

* Final Fantasy X - Of course some unforgettable costumes in this game.

I know you're only asking for female outfit examples, but I'd love to see an Eorzean version of Auron's outfit.

* Chrono Cross - I love Artist Nobuteru Yuuki's designs (Escaflowne, Battle Angel, Lodoss War) for all the characters. Here's Kid:

* Ugetsu Hakua - If we ever get Samurai Class in the game...

* Lineage

* Record of Lodoss War - I wish I could find a full body version, but I love the handsome, powerful lines on Emperor Beld's Armor (for male outfits):

Ultimately, though, I'd be interested to see what the FF 14 Art Team can come up with on their own. Hopefully something more exciting and interesting than what we have now (no offense, but the best Mage Gear, like Harlequin Armor Set and Vintage Robe just look... boring and ugly in my opinion).
