Good Knee High Socks Day 2014 Edition 11/28 This Friday!

[axemtitanium]

It's that time of the year again! As our missing-in-action comrade-in-arms Reinheart explained last year, 11/28 is Good Knee High Socks Day because the first syllable in 1-1-2-8 in Japanese ("i"chi, "i"chi, "ni", "ha"chi) can be rearranged into ii ni ha-ii or Good Knee High Socks (ii = Good, ni ha-ii is pronounced "nee hai" aka Knee High).

If you've got screenshots of your character or NPCs, illustrations you've made, cosplay, or anything related to knee high socks/thigh highs, please post them! Make Knee-Soken proud!



Last year's thread

This year's JP thread for inspiration

I'll start with the look I'd been using until 2.4. I haven't come up with something I like yet with the new 2.4 gear so it'll have to do.


And here's the screenshot I submitted to the Easter contest.

What is the top for this glamour? :O

Mael hunt gear, I think.

What is the top for this glamour? :O

Head: High Allagan Circlet of Healing
Body: Storm Elite's Coat (Disciple of Magic only)
Hands: Augmented Healer's Gloves (Dalamud Red)
Legs: Taffeta Loincloth (Dalamud Red)
Feet: High Allagan Thighboots of Healing

The Healer's Gloves were the only handgear that I could find that both showed rings AND didn't cinch the sleeves of the Storm Elite's Coat.

A friend approached me last night to take screenshots to post here (he doesn't have a forum account for some reason)!

Not seeing any knee high socks here. There seems to be some confusion on the height of knee high socks.

I prefer thigh high zettai ryouiki myself but the event name refers to knee highs to make the Knee-Soken pun. He's confirmed to like both.

Well aren't we a Debbie Downer. I do believe there aren't many boots/sock type equips that actually look like real life knee-high socks. So, us players have to get creative with this!! Which is always fun to see others creative sides! Here is my contribution to the thread ^.^

i know all about Soken, and I'm with you on thigh high. IDK why there isn't some of the other sized socks in the game just for him. lol

Personally I'd prefer if the socks actually cover the whole feet instead of just cutting off at the ankle, but there's nothing that can be done at this point...
