    I can't imagine the Chinese were all that impressed to hear the EU / NA regions would get access to the dress, so SE needed to compromise.
    There might be a few players but they're likely a vocal minority, It's not a big deal. They have all of our content apart from small localisation tweaks due to their laws and beliefs and the dress is also a paid item here, they can also purchase the promotional items straight out the cash shop so there's that.

    Maybe, but still seems a bit of a dick move to take region exclusive items without at least giving them something new to play with for a few years.

    Unless they specifically promised that it would never leave China, I still don't see a problem. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ From what I read it seems the only reason it was exclusive to begin is that Shanda Games requested that specific style, and Yoshida stated that Chinese players don't care about lore/realism (after implementing the Yokai event). No one cared that the butler/maid equipment made it over there.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree, our opinions on equality seem vastly different. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    My only bunch of complaints is that they're not long enough and aren't animated. It's just a clump of plaster stuck to your back.... xD

    I don't think developers actually know what a bird's wing looks like half of the time when they conceive these ideas at the very least.

    What a dev team thinks a wing looks like;


    What it actually looks like;



    The wings would probably look a lot better if they didn't make them fluffy and actually went for long elegant feathers, lmao.

    When I said animated I didn't mean moving constantly, I meant that they should have some kind of joint that allowed them to at least stretch open when you're idle, or maybe even responded to an emote that made them spread out / up. Would have looked nice if you macro'd it into a rez command, lol.
    Healers should get healing effects like that in general to spice up their animation scheme a little. You rez someone, or use your large heal (such as benedict) and for maybe 5 seconds after you have some nice wings, like the ones you get when you use the Magicked Prism (Wings.)

Other developers like to throw in wings constantly with different variets, but I figure they're all using the same skeleton so the animations work across the board. It also wouldn't make sense for them to move at all really, considering they're a prop attached to an outfit. Wings are going to look subpar in FFXIV due to everything being low detailed, they look decent in other SP titles like DS3 (NPC mob, not the PC) but the visuals of that title are leagues ahead of FFXIV.
