One-piece Swimsuits

[AmbieLapin]

Bikinis are nice and all, really... but are there ANY plans at all for some one-piece styles? I know there are some armor pieces that occupy multiple equipment slots, so I can't imagine it would be that hard to implement. It's not even really a modesty issue for me - I just think my Elezen would look much more stylish in a lovely one-piece with a simple design. Maybe a plain color (green, blue, red, dyeable?) with a simple print of a hibiscus on the front, or a chocobo, or anything! Or even a full print with a cute gingham check in different dyeable colors. Just as long as it's simple and clean looking.

But if you want to get fancier, a skirted one-piece would be cute too... Just... anything but more bikinis.

Yeah no kidding. As a female player, the fixation on bikinis in this game is a little bit creepy. There's lots of other beach and swimwear fashions we could explore too!

I can understand that, and a skirted one would actually make a lot of sense. Not a huge fan of skirted one-piece suits myself, but the more the merrier, I suppose.

You must also understand there's a rather large male player-base, and they're just tending to them. Apparently, men have a fixation with virtual girls in bikinis. I think they should really look into vanity a bit more, it'd probably do us all some good, especially Square. If your game is just known for cat girls in bikinis, something's wrong.

When I got my 2month subscription award bikini, I just picked up the one simple-looking halter top for cheap off the market board and dyed it to match, and I just use it as a cute little tankini instead. Kinda creates a little bit of a variation in swimsuit styles. :P

I love the idea of one-pieces with different designs though.

That WOULD work... except the Hempen set varies by race. The Elezen hempen top is pretty gross - form-fitting with a cleavage window. The bottoms are worse (on their own, they're actually pretty nice when paired with a long top). I really wish I could wear the Miqo'te or Midlander Hyur hempen top styles, but for whatever reason they decided to make us all different.

As for the game appealing to men - maybe. I don't like to automatically jump to that conclusion. The male swimsuits are pretty ridiculous (and all my male friends agree). They just want simple swim trunks.

I drew some quick sketches of bathing suit examples/ideas. The one on the left is nice and classic, clean, elegant - simple. A design doesn't have to be crazy with ruffles and details to be beautiful. The top one is more cute - it would be ADORABLE on a Lalafel! And finally the bottom, something sporty. I thought of Speedo, and Cactuar are traditionally very fast, so a simple Cactuar logo fits right in. A Chocobo could also work.

Yes please! love these and hope to see a dyeable version soon! also a tankini would be nice! I dont see why they can't do it like many of the other piece of gear, one slot but occupies two.

If they were REALLY clever, they could even feasibly make these top and bottom items. Then we mix and match them with other outfits.

Sexy one piece swimsuits would be nice, single colour would look better than a pattern (unless they are stripes like the Summer event bikini).

Only lala and Miqo'te would look good in a cutesy bathing suit. Tall women need something sexier .

Has the summer event already happened this year? If not when does it come? Would be nice to see these as a reward.
