Requesting Ratification of a New FFXIV Dev Law

[HyoMinPark]

Can't recall many pieces of gear this expansion where BARD is wearing a robe - and I mean an actual robe like what healers/casters get. We've gotten a lot of jackets and flamoyant shirts. I wouldn't really call our AF gear a robe either - that's more of a long coat.

I think r/ffxivshitpost is leaking again...

I don't think the OP is being a troll or serious about an anti-robe law so much as expressing a major discontentment for the amount of robes in the game. What I find sad is not necessarily the amount of robes, but rather that the leg gear that goes along with the robes are beautifully designed, only to be covered up by that damn robe. Same can be said for hoods covering up longer hairstyles, but understand that clipping pretty much makes this impossible. But if they could find a way around it, I'd be loving me some hoods!

I suppose mages and wizards are more traditionally known for their long gowns and robes and using jewelry to enhance their magic, while warlocks/witches and sorcerers/sorceresses chose more form fitting attire and accessories made from organic material. Witches in particular also used seduction, so being clad in practically next to nothing is quite common for them. Our magic users in this game are a blend of each of those subtypes, and personally would like to see more form fitting attire with some armor elements to it that shows some skin.

Some examples:

Female



Male

If only there was some way to change the appearance of your armor to something more suitable to your taste.... oh wait.

I know! it would be nice if we had more options for that instead of robe, robe... robe... robe.. another robe, oh hey thats not- nevermind, robe.
