Odd canon uncanon things >.> booo i liked it better when she got a set of clothes from the reporter because she was apperently interested in miqo'te culture. Ohwell...

All that being said i would not be opposed to female au ra getting to wear female elezen gear but at the same time the sets are unique to the different races for a reason, like how knowing why the au ra are coming to Eorzea in the storyline if you look at their wardrobe it is much more frayed and generally damaged looking than everyone elses because of the trip to Eorzea from Doma

Speaking of RSE (Race Specific Equipment) I wonder if they have any plans to add any more RSE like they did in XI. And yes I realize this isn't XI, before someone says it.

Would be nice to see some more RSE besides what we start out with.

I always thought it would be cool to use the RSE from FFXI here. Or have a quest similar to FFXI RSE quests. It has been a while since I've looked at FFXI but I'm pretty sure the human starting outfit showed which nation you were affiliated with. Be nice if the starting outfits in FFXIV did that too or have a spot to add a FC crest.

The thing is, there isn't really a gameplay need for FFXI-style RSE here though, given the fact racial stat differences aren't as pronounced in FFXIV. In FFXI, each race had a specific strength and weakness stat wise (such as tarutaru had the highest MP and INT but the lowest HP and defence), and thus RSE was a means to compensate for those weaknesses for those players who wanted to "think outside the, um, square" - the stats on each piece of RSE would have bonuses to the 'weak' stats of that race.

Continuing the taru example, tarutaru RSE had large boosts to HP and defence - humes however who had well balanced stats with no real weaknesses instead had RSE that also decreased a certain stat, meaning a hume character would need to wear the whole set to balance out the bonuses the gear gave. As stat differences between each race are trivial at best racial gear based on the FFXI version would just be a waste of time and resources.

As for wanting to wear one race's starting outfit on another, um, this kind of invalidates the whole point of calling it racial gear. Yes I admit some racial gear looks amazing, but really, it's racial equipment - it's meant to represent that race!

Dont do try on other race clothing. You will violently tear a hole in space and slowly destroy the world of Eorzea and its people by tearing its atoms to pieces one by one resulting in millions of years of agonizing and unspeakable pain.

tl;dr version. It's not XI. lol

I'm not necessarily asking to see XI's version of RSE. I'm looking for gear that distinguishes the races themselves.

The problem is, I wanted to keep my outfit and MAYBE switch to Midlander. So I'm already the race who's outfit I want.

Solution: make it that every race can wear the same starter set, but the look of the set change depending which race and gender wear it (see 1.0 underwears).


I find we need more race specific gears, not less. like a lv50 fur gear set for Miqo'te and scale gear set for Au Ra and pirate king set for Roegadyns
