Request to unlock Hempen set styles

[RecoveryPotion]

As many will know, the Hempen "underwear" set (Hempen Camise, Hempen Pantalettes) is quite dramatically different depending on which race is wearing them.

I would love to see these different versions of said items "unlocked", so that any race could wear any version of the item.

This would give more ready access to something that is, in my opinion, sorely lacking for the glamour aspect of the game: More "light and simple" options for chestpieces.

I don't know how much effort the "re-fitting" for the different races would take, but I would love if this could be considered, as it would allow for a lot more variety than is currently available without having to come up with entirely new designs, per se.

Thank you.

I want the catgirl hempen chest piece so bad. That's literally the only reason I would go catgirl is for that chest piece T_T

I would LOVE to have the hempen sets.

They are not iconic enough to "represent" a race. C'mon... a tank top, a camisole?...

However they have an amazing quality of being great standalone pieces to complement other sets!

Still advocating they DON'T do this.
Or at the very least give us some other RSE. There's not enough as it is.

I’d be down for this if the hempen stuff was actually race specific in the first place. Or if it reflected racial roots better. The majority of them are just generic clothes. Several are identical.

Nothing about my wild bondage wear really screams “Highlander” to me.

Ala Mhigan had hard time man... They can't even sew proper clothes

Joking aside, I would love to wear those Highlander's bondage gear on Roegadyn

I’m against unlocking the Hempen sets. Preserving uniqueness and adding more race-locked items would be great though.

I'm still for it. I don't hate the idea of race locked gear, but lets not pretend the game goes out of it's way to make you actually feel connected to your races culture or homeland at all. the Hempen sets really don't allude to any deeper cultural meanings and the precedent of two races using the same set is already a thing.

How about before more race locked gear we actually get access earlier to all of the races homelands and then design armor befitting their culture so it actually fits and makes sense like the GC uniforms? Instead of just "lmao more race locked cuz muh youneeqnus"

Because how likely is it SE are going to do that? They can't be bothered to fix Viera and Hrothgar for 3 years but sure creating our races homeland with race armour is realistic.

It's been years, they would have unlocked it by now.

Male bunny suits. One outfit for all the male races took forever. with the hempen sets we're talking about a lot more than that.

I'm not holding my breath for them to unlock the sets, but if some part of their team has been working on it at all I'm not surprised it'd take so long since it's likely a low priority and a fairly large task as well considering how many outfits there are. And I also wouldn't be surprised at all if SE would be dabbling in removing their gender locks as well, which just adds a whole new layer of dev time as they'd likely have to once again call on their female devs to work on ones that make the male devs uncomfortable.

What uniqueness? Most of them are basically generic Target brand undies and a grab bag of tank top flavors. If they were actually even remotely visually representative of any race then sure I'd agree, I don't think they should unlock the racial starter gear for example, but these are... not. I mean, Viera literally don't even have their own. They're already sharing with Hyur. And I'm pretty sure Hrothgar are sharing with another race too. Which sucks for two reasons because now you have exactly three (soon to be four) looks unlocked AND no new looks for the new races. While the rest are still locked.
