Kugane outfits (kimonos)

[Raikai]

I've just got there and woah, the place is amazing! One thing that really caught my eye is the local vestments.

I know there are many Othard-themed outfits around, some in the Mogstation, some as rewards, but none of them are - real - traditional kimonos, like the ones Kugane's citizen wear, as they all more suited to warfare, with plate pieces here and there or some "poetic license" to customize these outfits.

I wonder if SE got any plans to add those anytime soon? The only "cosmetic" armor I've seen so far is the Taoist set, but it's not like a kimono at all.

Yes, please! I wanted these since we first saw Kugane in the trailer, and was shocked that they're not available.

They seem to be made for NPCs only and would probably clip horribly with most of our animations.

[Rakiria]

I don't care if they have to stretch like latex to fit our animations, I just want a proper eastern outfit that is not from the mog station now that we get to go to Othard. The best thing there is is the Yukatas for whoever was at the summer event two / three years ago, but I'd really like something less... Playful :/ besides on men they're really just shirts and not even a super short dress.

Since I own a male kimono personally, I want my character to have a proper one on here. They are worth having in real life, too.

They seem pretty standard outfits though. I'm not speaking of special NPCS, but the clothes that the common people go around with. I mean, we already have those kimono silhouettes (but like I said, with many customizations over it) in other gear and they work just as fine...

They don't. The same goes for the noblewoman outfits in Ishgard we never got either.

Female Roes would like a word with you about leg-clipping with long skirts...

The kimonos are rather "stiff", as kimonos are supposed to be - not much leg-movment possible (and as you can see, the NPCs arent moving their legs much), so for a lot of battle classes that could prove a problem.

I'd still like to have them myself and actually expected them to be introduced as glamour-items later - I mean... there has to be something in the new mastercrafter-books!

I'm not saying they're a special outfit, but the fact they're probably not made with player animations in mind and rigged to work with walking and light animations.
I may be wrong as I don't have their outfits on screen right now, but they seem stiff and tighter near the legs, moreso than even the long dresses we can wear.

I mean, I don't have any proof but it's kind of weird they wouldn't give the outifts to us if it worked fine while we can already wear other types of civilian clothes.

Maybe we get some Kimonos with the coming Moonfire-Event. 3 years ago we got Yukatas, so there's a possibility.
