Why Does A Fierce Race Of Female Warriors...

[Gula]

If they dress that way, it's because you want them to dress that way.

If skin offends you, set your glamor as your favorite armor or conservative outfit.

Me with the 3 retainers on display in various bikinis and maid accessories.

I actually like the gear, there's some interesting patterns and textures to it. As to the practicality of it, well lets assume for the sake of realism that it is perhaps ceremonial? I mean, I play Miqo'te and yes we are way over sexualized if not in lore but in the games player culture. Yes, SE did provide the tools (gear) but that's available to all races and there's skimpy stuffs fer both represented genders as noted by others. I play both sides of that coin, meaning I dress for the occasion, we have that nice Glam thingie xD. Typically in serious, proper duties I glam practical or realistic gearsets so PUGs etc will take me seriously more or less. When playin with friends, or for certain weekly events I may go with a theme, or joke glam. With certain ppl who are appreciative (Elv-wife) I may go all sexy like, just fer kicks, mine and theirs. We have one person who likes to laugh at that kind of silliness so I hit the two piece up in every instance where it makes the least sense in terms of realism, live the stereotype he shouts! I've never had any issues offending others with how I dress but I do play with a rather tight knit group and for the most part we are a pretty gender fluid group and the jokes, they do fly. Anyways, wear what floats yer boat, anyone who would say something will be offended no matter what /shrug

...look like strippers? Come on, S.E.

I was looking forward to playing a Viera for something different but that starting outfit is too much for me to overlook. They look like they are straight out of Forsaken World.

I thought you were better than that, Square Enix. Count me as disappointed.

you are being completely RIDICULOUS. They do NOT look like strippers. They are dancers and need less clothing to move around more freely. Also, they are more natural and less sensitive about showing more skins than hyurs (humans) dont be a perv. Warriors races dont all need stupid ugly heavy armor. Dont be insensitive. Are you just crying out for attention?

More like they're ambush hunters who rely on heavy shadows to hide from enemies and prey. which is why the armor that Fran and the Veira wanderers wear is all black, but also open in areas to allow their natural skin colors to assist via splotched color patterns.

But what I like about this racial set is that it's expressly *ARMOR* and not a set of civilian clothes that the fledgling adventurers start with. These women have spent years or decades as defenders of their Great Wood as warders and hunters, and then decide to venture into the world to experience what the outside world is like.

You can change it you know, only pervy guys will keep that starter gear. What about highlander hempen set then? Just keep first person camera so you don't have to see higher

That's... is it sexist if you go after someone's sexual orientation? :thinking:

It's sexist for thinking all of one sex feels, thinks or acts a certain way.

What I mean to say is girls can like seeing girls. And non pervy guys could also keep them in default to nothing.

To say only pervy guys would do such a thing is literally wrong. I just can't put my finger on a term that eclipses how wrong they are.

Well "sexist" is usually the go-to term people use when something like that comes up. I can't think of a stronger word either. I mean calling someone sexist is already pretty bad in and of itself so.....

Of course there's always "homophobic" since those two words are typically thrown around together.

I'm a straight female and I'm totally gonna sport that starter gear now and then. The husband may question why I'm running around half naked, but that's not my problem.
