Request to unlock Hempen set styles

[Bellsong]

Well you may see very little reason but there are many of us who think diversity and racial differences are a good thing and it appears the development team understands there are two camps on this issue pro and against.

Look at cultural armor from GW2, those sets have good reason to be race locked as they have a lot of meaning design wise to their races, not only that but with more unique body shapes it makes sense that GW would have more trouble than FF fitting sets to other bodies. and further more there's still armor based around those races available freely to all races via dungeon armor.

There's nothing wrong with wanting diversity in racial armor sets, but locking casual culturally insignificant clothing/underwear behind races is just dumb. There's a reason people don't complain about GC/hunt armors being locked to certain GCs (Besides being able to freely switch between them so it's not much of an issue to use them) .They also hold a lot of significance to the faction itself design and color wise. Not race locked but it's a fairly good example of how to build diversity in armor without sacrificing generic casual pieces of clothing.

It's easy for a lot of people to disregard and even think people who want to keep the hempen and camise sets locked are wrong because a lot of you want to keep them not for cultural importance (which they lack) but instead just because they're the last few bits of glamour race locked.

The only sets that seem even slightly culturally important to races are the starter sets, but even those have problems because it looks like the same tailor made all of them, and again they're filled with fairly casually looking clothing bits, for example: Miqo skirt, it's a personal favorite but I prefer playing Highlander's/Roegadyn's.

I for one enjoy diversity as well, but I also heavily care about how it's implemented. and SE's implementing of it here was not out of care or intent it was just a product of it's time when they didn't care about glamour and just wanted to get the game out.

Just my two cents. I think the game is better off unlocking the hempen and starter sets and instead give us better culturally important armor
