Until SE makes male and female glamours equal...

[Tsumdere]

Erm, if you're designing an armor to be equally sexy or equally badass... you're not prioritizing one gender over the other.

TERA's been the one to get the closest to right, IMO, though they could have done for a bit more badass in some of the female designs. The equality of castanic armor choices was perfection, however.

TERA's castanic armour sets were pretty awesome. But Castanic armour sets were they way they were because of lore reasons. And also because Castanics were ripped. I would hate to see similar amour sets in FF because they won't give us muscle sliders for half the guys, particularly the noodles. If I could make my Elezen actually have abs, I would be all for it.

Hello! It's me again! Got some more screens of my gal in beefy gear, this time parading around as a WAR! I really like the first WAR set, it's beefy and strong looking! (It has a leather six pack built into it!) And I still use it for glams even at lvl 60!





I HAVE THE POWER!!!!!

Meanwhile another one claims this;

It's not that hard and Aion already do that with most of their armor (however in their culture most of the time females are going to look femenine and males masculine, even if both are wearing "sexy armor"), was the point of my example. TERA is the game that really do it wrong:

Anyway, my point was that both males and females should have sets that make them look sexy (revealing, shape-flattering, tailored), badass (heavy plate etc), and neutral (but that we already have to some extent). And all that will depend on the gender, should they want to go for more sexy female outfits while forgetting the males (deja vu).

I was citing castanics in particular. :P The others were a bit less equal opportunity.

Oh so frigging sorry I DARED to actually question your viewpoint...

Welcome to the real world.

Just sorta grabbing your 1st quote i'm coming across so not really gunna use it that much as just wanna have a discussion with you as i would like to know your opinion on any of the topics that have come up in this thread;

1. whats your thoughts on current gender locked gear and the current imbalance of more female locked gear to male locked gear
2. Is there anyway you can think to solve any issues with gear sets you may have if you don't don't worry means your happy which is good
3. any future sets you might like to see either being tailored to a specific gender or not

any response be grateful as it helps to understand your viewpoint better

It feels as though we need some more pictures since the guy who complains we can't take his opinions doesn't seem to be all that interested in actually engaging with the opinions of others after all

With apologies, I had to post a picture of this fine gentleman who shall remain anonymous.



He is fashion inspiration for us all.

I've been an advocate for atypical looks for male characters (as well as female), but I've not gone into glamouring something that isn't typical of my character, especially as I play a male Roegadyn and abhor the "joke glamours" that so many do with the race... and it's pitiful because the race has a lot of potential but people pick either end of the spectrum and never inbetween. For me, I've always stuck to typical "meathead" or extremely masculine glamours, sometimes going for "risque" glamours, but decided I'd try to go for something that is both fitting to the build of male Roe but also atypical to what you'd see on a male Roe.

I decided I'd make a glamour to help breathe life into the thread, so here's my attempt:



Hope you guys like it.

(for the record, I think I look fabulous :u)

[Serilda]

I have never seen a male Roegadyn looking anything like that. Absolutely stunning! Though I think that wristband flower is bigger than my head :O

I took a bunch of pictures (hey, had to test out the new dance...) in the same outfit last night and was surprised at how delicate it made my Elezen look in some poses. I'd always viewed it as a rather masculine set.

[SpiritMuse]

Damn that does look fabulous! Unusually feminine for a Roe but not in a jokey way. I love it.

I need to put a male Roe in my Fantasia queue now.

[Serilda]

Since it's a new page I'll share the pictures of my Elezen in a similar outfit (though he's nowhere near as stylish as ErryK's handsome Roe, who is almost his complete opposite in many ways!)





The new dance is my favourite emote for photographs at the moment.
