I'm deeply troubled

OMG I would be so mad at S.E If I was the creator of the outfit... The original one was so sexy with the hood and trousers open on the front... Now I really don't find it cool and... AND... Am I really seeing HEELS...? AGAIN...???? On MALE OUTFIT ...????? They're not "comfortable" with the "funny bunny outfit" but they are with robes and heels and high boots on male outfits again and again...

For me the right one is better...the left one is too Digimon.

The outfit still looks pretty good but I loved the open upper arms/thigh area. It had a lovely design aesthetic and I'm sad they dropped it. Also Im not a fan of the ...heels? Why SE? Why do you do this?

I think they are practicing for Viera feet

I bet the female version still has the crotch exposed. lol
Either way. Why did they change it? The person who drew that is probably very mildly disappointed.

My only issue with the outfit is honestly just the high heel. Even on a female, I'd have preferred the simpler heels of the original design, where it looks more beast-like / as if you could chase after someone, if the need arises. The armor bulge over the top of the foot just looks... odd.

Well, that and the tassets again resting on some invisible hip-wall some 4 inches to either side of the player's actual physique. I mean, is there even a single racial physique for which that is appropriate? Even Roegadyn don't suddenly burgeon at the waist like that, and Lalafell sets, if the devs excuses for required development time are to believed, are crafted quite separately...

And yet it's like there a invisible steel mesh bird-cage under every shirt hem, skirt, or dress in this game.

Re. the pants - although they've changed it for this outfit, the male Shisui costumes do have that style of revealing pants, and one of the Xaela tribes we were dealing with were all wearing them. (Unless that style doesn't carry through to the healer/caster versions.)

The changed size of the 'loincloth' section looks strange though. It's too wide and it sits awkwardly. And the feet look just uncomfortable - the concept art had a better idea with (at least it looks like to me) 'fake' wolf-feet over normal boots instead of actually making the wearer stand on their toes.

Well, that and the tassets again resting on some invisible hip-wall some 4 inches to either side of the player's actual physique.

That bugs me too. I guess it's to ensure it won't clip with any choice of leg gear, but I think they overdo it. (Perhaps to allow for movement so your leg doesn't go straight through them when in battle stance?)

Heh, wow, they took a lot of liberties on the small details (and not-so-small details) that it's almost insulting. At least with the healing set winner, they changed relatively little outside of proportional discrepancies due to art style.


I'm hesitant to comment on the apparent absence of a crotch/butt window of the pants since the widened "flap" is obscuring where it may potentially still be (unless someone can confirm it's not there). If we're assuming that there is none after all, or not for the male characters, then I totally called-it back when the winning design was announced.

Let your imagination go wild for a moment and undress that guy on the left.

I don't know about you, but I'm currently freaked out by the nondescript blob of flesh existing where his junk should be. If they made that design work on the right, they'd either have to expose the dude's junk (because you can look at angles other than what exist on the art on the left), or include the underwear model on this gear. Because one is impossible and the other is silly, they very reasonably opted to have normal pants.
