Why Does A Fierce Race Of Female Warriors...

[Krojack]

...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.

Why strippers? I mean, are the Viera naked because strippers are. No? Then they don't look like strippers.

Typical stereotyping....

That's how they always looked.

That's how they always dressed.

That's how they always dressed and looked soooo they should be changed because of your opinion of it?

*nods*

I know that now. I was unaware of their prior presentation when I made my original post. This MMO and the original Final Fantasy are my only exposure to the franchise.

So that said, no. I don't believe the gear should be changed. It's an homage to the original viera gear.

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?

Nope, I'm not crying out for attention. I just didn't like what I saw and let SE know my opinion.

I'm not seeing how having an issue with a set of starter gear, which I feel objectifies women, makes me a pervert or insensitive.

Why strippers? I mean, are the Viera naked because strippers are. No? Then they don't look like strippers.

Typical stereotyping....

The starter gear reminded me of what some of my friends would wear when they were working. Make of that what you will.

And, I am talking about the starter gear. I'm not calling Viera a race of strippers.

Well, the first command to humans in the Bible is to be fruitful and multiply. Obviously the Viera and Hrothgar need help in that department. They should get to multiplying so there will be enough male Viera and female Hrothgar by 6.0!

I'm totally gonna still be rocking the Agrias set once I got the entire collection even years from now regardless of the fact that I'm going Viera soon as I'm able but yeah OP I can get where the misunderstanding comes from if you havent played XII. I personally can say I disliked XII myself for two reasons 1. Couldn't Stand Vaan or Penelo and 2. Once I got my Gambits set up it just became one looooong directional toggle controlled movie instead of a game. Story was good other than that.

Ha! Not going to lie. That was funny!

Has someone been living under a rock?

Um... maybe? I didn't have the money nor time to keep up with video games for a long time.

Yep. That's it in a nutshell.
