Request to unlock Hempen set styles

[Edewen]

It does harm the people looking for exclusivivity.

How? Hempen sets are dirt cheap and common.

Caring about exclusivity means that the primary concern is not how you look to yourself, but how you look to others.
Hempen sets being as common as they are, exclusive means nothing as anyone can get them for less gill than it would take to teleport to a marketboard.

If you want to argue exclusivity, argue for racial relic glamours, an upgrade to the starter racial gear that would be both exclusive and uncommon for example. Maybe then you would have a leg to stand on. Otherwise the argument that it hurts you makes no sense.

On a side note, we need racial relic armors *glam only no stats* that we farm throughout the entirety of stormblood. A new piece of the set added each patch as more to do. This would of course need a way to switch it to another race upon race change.

So, what of all the loyal customers within that majority? Or are you somehow supposing that only those opposed are loyal customers?

My wife plays also and has done from the start of ARR, she has been subscribed to the game continuously since then - as have I. She absolutely supports the removal of the restriction on the Hempen set styles - as do I.

Are we not also 'loyal customers' who should be considered?

Read again, you're stating things I never said. You're reading what you want to read to feel like a victim (as you always do) when someone has s different viewpoint than yours.

Greetings, glamour enthusiasts!

Thanks for the feedback and the discussion! We have relayed the feedback from this thread to the dev. team.

We understand the desire to have the variances in the Hempen set unlocked across all the races, and also understand those who prefer to preserve the uniqueness of these sets.

Since there are players who are both for and against this type of change, we'd like additional feedback to determine whether we should unlock the Hempen set varieties for all races, or if we should keep these glamours race-specific in order to retain the uniqueness. Please let us know which you would prefer, and we will pass these thoughts back to the dev. team.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Unlock them. More positives than negatives from where I'm standing.

How ?
You are not forced to use the others are you ?

Keep them locked please. It makes the races special having exclusive outfits that only they can wear. I personally find the hempen set one of the more adorable sets in the game giving each race a special look.

[Sterre]

I would prefer to keep them locked as well. The only race specific gear we have are starter gear and the hempen sets. They give each race the sense of uniqueness and makes them feel a bit more like a race of their own.

So personally, I really really really hope that hempen sets will stay race specific.

I'd love this. It doesn't make sense how people are arguing for exclusivity when the race sets are already a thing? Hopefully they do unlock them, it'd be great.

Why have race specific sets? I don't see the point other than keeping the race's sense of uniqueness which is ... dumb. There's a bunch of set diversity in the game, a little more won't hurt. Not to mention the fact that the races are very visually diverse without their race specific set. You can tell an au ra apart from a roegadyn easily.

Most who argue to keep it exclusive most likely haven't even worn them in months if not years. The only people i see wearing them on Balmung are the ladies and gents of the evening in the QS.

Well, I've seen some people using it against the idea of unlocking hairstyles for all races.

Somehow apparently races look like each other if they use same hairstyles or same outfits.

To be clear, I'm against unlocking this set for each race. I enjoy the unique quality each set brings to each race.

I would rather like to see more RSE glamour for each of the races... It doesn't all have to be underwear though. Casual and formal attires could also be introduced to further flesh out the culture of Eorzea and each race... Cause even though we all have our own headcanons for our characters, Eorzea definitely has it's own lore and each race primarily hails from a specific area. Little details like what people in a contained culture wear, and why they wear it, could be used to further define the history of Eorzea and each of the races.
