China is getting wings

[Lunafreya]

Those wings are godawful.

[Dreamsoap]

Don't mind the barding but the player wings look god awful. Always hated that chunky, non tapering style.

[Iromi]

I think they're okay..I've seen way worse.

Anyway we aren't getting them so what's it matter really Although I admit too, I rather have a Sophia outfit before this outfit haha.

[SenorPatty]

Good god, those look absolutely hideous. Please keep that F2P mobile bullshit out of my FF14

That's the only part I agree with

[Slirith]

Let them get and keep these ugly arse wings that seem to flood asian MMOs

Someone makes a thread complaining they don't want to see the New World outfit because it offends them = people mob that person because anyone should be able to wear what they want.

I recall another older thread of someone complaining about subligars = people mob that person because anyone should be able to wear what they want.

I also recall a thread of someone complaining that newer gear is too revealing = people mob that person because anyone should be able to wear what they want.

China adds wings = "Don't add them just because I don't want to see them on other people."

I thought the community was against policing what other people should or no wear.

And no matter how you try to rationalize it, if you take the dreadwyrm caster chest and move the wings a little bit higher it would be no different from this.

Maybe that's because the "community" is not a hive mind and it's not the same people making both statements?

I can assure you the majority of people against this outfit commented in favor of the new world outfit in that deleted thread.

Well I can only assume that their opinions are based on whether the outfit fits the setting of the game or sticks out like a sore thumb. From what I see, the New World outfits still have all the stylings of normal FFXIV gear just with a slight Western motif with the fringes

Whereas these wings are just straight-up generic angel wings with no FF spin on them, even the FFVII wings had stylized anatomy (and the wings that appeared on Rinoa were not physical wings, they were just a manifestation of the Sorceress power unlike that fanmade picture posted earlier)

But you're never going to live down the tacky Korean MMO reputation these things have, or that they are a magnet for bad fanfiction writing and poorly made OCs.

The pig outfit sticks out like a sore thumb even more than this, and it's already in the game.

Either way we should not be policing what other people should wear, if you don't like it you can just not wear it, otherwise let's start removing subligars and disabling all and any bikini glamour in MSQ cutscenes and dungeons because it doesn't fit the game.
