Request: Hempen Garb - Racial Unlock

[Ayuhra]

If you want the male elezen shirtlessness with only lace sleeves look you're gonna have to play a male elezen!

Embrace the wonky animations! And the neck!

Disappointing, but at the same time hopefully that means they're already planning to give them all to every race.

Yeah I was super duper disappointed by this

I'd really love to see them add a new one to fit Viera, but also make all the others available to everyone else. I don't care if it's from MGP or something, I just want to be able to choose one of the other looks.

I agree there shouldn't be any restriction on style. I'm an American, cultural 'appropriation' IS my culture. We mix and match styles, foods, music, and clothing into unique beautiful creations. We should be able to do that here.

Was this thread forgotten? I saw somewhere that a dev replied to it years ago, saying that they were planning on implemnenting the racial unlock for the hempen garb, but never heard or saw anything about it since then. Are they ever going to unlock it for us? My Viera would look so great on the highlander one!!

There's another one on the same subject that popped up again more recently.

I think it's just about which existing character model they started from when creating the models for Viera and Hrothgar. Both genders of Viera have Midlander gear; Hrothgar has Roegadyn gear. They also share some emotes.

I was expecting male Viera to get Miqo'te gear, and in their first build from the benchmark they had the similarly odd posture that suggested they'd used Miqo'te as the base, but since they "fixed" the Viera posture I suspect they did that by starting over with a Midlander model. (A pity, as I think the Miqo'te top works with the look of their starter gear.)

I'd really like to see the various styles made available to everyone. Female characters have several nice tops that are useful for different outfit styles; male Midlanders have the plain tank top; other men's things are a bit more situational but still good to have freely available.
