Request: Hempen Garb - Racial Unlock

[KeyboardFacerollname]

I would like the hempen sets unlocked for all races, simply because some of the other races sets look better or would go better with glam ideas(I really like the Elezen lady hempen top and would love to wear it on my Roegadame).

If people are hung up on "lore reasons" they can simply add "Roegadyn Fashion Designer" to Limsa that sells Roegadyn-style fashions but tailored for other races, or maybe gives a quest that allows DoH to learn how to craft the outfits(the outfits would be low level WVR/LTW stuff, but let all DoH do the quest). Bada bingo, lore reasons are satisfied(There's really no reason an Elezen can't think "Man, I really like that Hyuran Chemisette. If only I could get one tailored to fit me. If only there was some sort of tailor that could tail clothing!")

If anything, they should bring back the undergarment slot. The default underwear has to go.

Where it's frustrating is that a lot of the designs are basic, ordinary clothing shapes; to use an example, if the Miqo'te female top is deemed to be too cultural to share, can we at least get a similar vest for everyone else with different stitching or dye patterns or something? For males, can we please have some kind of actual loincloth all jobs can wear? Why can't anyone wear halternecks other than a single subset of Hyur? And how relevant are these items anyway? My friend only knew they existed because I bought her a set for a POTD adventure the other day, it's not as though they feature heavily in the lore or background like the FFXI equivalent. Race optimisation is fine when it makes sense, like tail decorations or ear pouches (however controversial). This does not make sense.

I think even slightly modified patterns or stitching to make the racial variants special would be fine so long as the gaps in our wardrobes are filled. It's easier for them to adapt the existing designs than make up new ones though - most (if not all) will only need the modelling team rather than going all the way back to the drawing board - so it makes sense to press for that as a solution. S-E is plainly interested in helping so second-guessing their resource management skills doesn't seem worthwhile.

The original racial sets I agree should stay racial, even if the relation they have to their races' actual cultures seem dubious at best. It's still the case that all the promotions and advertisements featuring these races show them in their race-specific starter gear, so those items really do have a strong racial association to them from the get-go.

The hempen sets, however... I don't have an issue with spreading these around. Perhaps the split variants could be named things like "Highlander Chemise" or "Elezen Underpants" to keep the original racial source in memory.

That said, I can't decide whether seeing a Lala girl decked out in Highlander bondage undies would be more hilarious or disturbing...

They can already wear bikinis and do this, I think that's the last thing anyone should worry about.

lol, I wish I had as much creativity.

Why would I want to see muscly Roedagyn/Elezen/Highlander/Au Ra male wearing female version hempen garb?

I mean people have their own kinks, but I am good enough seeing people wear yoga pants locally where I live in IRL. I don't need to see some unisex skimpy outfits in game. Hi Blade and Soul.

What are you talking about? This is about female Lalafell wearing female Highlander underwear (and other combinations like that).

A lot of the male underwear is already skimpier than the female versions since there's no need to cover our breasts. If you hate unisex gear, just avoid wearing it and move on with your life.

The moment we give people what they want for one design, then people will complain about other things again.

Just dont do it anymore. Other issues are greater importance, like housing.

So I suppose we just shouldn't ask for anything? Why is housing more important? Some people live for glamour. Some people live for housing. Some people it's the Raids. It's almost as if all players have their own interests in game. Also, the devs will do what they like. It's not like they ABSOLUTELY MUST FOCUS ON UNLOCKING HEMPEN simply because there is a thread asking for it.
