[Request] Underwear Customisation!

[Kohl]

No, it is not discriminatory. Leave that garbage on tumblr, please.
If him saying he wants to see less skimpy roes is "discriminatory" then you saying you want to see more is also discriminatory because you're ignoring the opinions of others in the way you're accusing him of. Don't be a hypocrite.

Theodric's comment is not discriminatory at all, Magnedeus is entitled to, and has expressed, their opinion, it isn't being suppressed. It is being challenged on whether or not it is a discriminatory opinion.

It was pointed out that this is a public forum, this is true, and when anyone speaks publicly, they are subject to the reaction of their words. The consequence of communicating is that it opens up opinions to being challenged.

This is the way.

I agree with this (bias be bias), but wanted to add that I think under solo play circumstances there is nothing wrong with discriminating (man that's a Boogeyman word to use lol, feels funny saying it but stick with me XD). Like if I only install huge male argonian muscles and fine Spears mods in Skyrim. Adding to the works of Crassius Curio- not ever updating the other choices. Heck maybe even removing all the other race/options from the game. Whatever, my game my rules. Lol. But since this is a multiplayer game discrimination impacts like chocobos smells. At the end of the day we'll have to have some discrimination in multiplayer but hopefully it suits the game and it's players well (or at least SE does have to make these choices- not so much us particularly, because resources are not infinite). I suppose that's one of the reasons why I try to actively avoid being SE's finical arbiter lol- a. I'm obviously not so it's a bit silly but also b. I don't want to actively kill someone else's enjoyment if I can help it / easily ignore it. (Also nuance / not threatening on asking for things and bla blah but that's for a different post lol).



Certainly selfishly the game could be designed to every bias I have and no other, but then only those exactly like me would play... Not a very good business strategy unless you're going for niche from the onset like some games and media do (like how games are for certain types of players or media made for certain perspectives/desires). Maybe a bit obvious but easy picking example would be adult content, exclusive preferences are okay (bias).



Just wanted to say having bias isn't necessarily bad, and even using it isn't always bad, but it of course it /could/ be bad / annoying to someone lol. Like if I love airships but someone else thinks they are a waste of resources, obviously people tend to have more on the line personally with outfits and all that expression stuff but I thought that airships be a neutral example.



Anyway men and women in undies, the same undies even, is fine with me- but if someone gave me keys to the castle and said do you want either lingerie on men or player owned physical airships... I'd not think twice on picking the later. At the same time very rarely are things presented as / actually that simple (and I try not to play that either or game). Ideally I'd just say I don't really care for the first but if there is enough demand... Why not both?

This guy get's it.

Sometimes it feels a bit weird that PSO2 has better looking characters than FFXIV.

Being able to change the underwear might be a problem for specifics countries. Idk. But in the end in terms of people who are for or against, I believe those who are against would mostly get over it, and everyone would gain another level of customization that this game so desperately needs.

I thought PSO2's layered wear idea was stupid when they first announced it, but over time it's proven to be a phenomenal idea and provides each character with their own individuality.

FFXIV was announced for the Playstation 5 just recently. I think it's time to improve some aspects of the game. Things that used to exist back in 1.0 days and were removed due to PS3 limitations and such, should honestly come back. Belts should be their own glamour. Belts are currently the only piece of equipment beyond soul stones that don't have an appearance, and we actually get to see soul stones from time to time. So many pieces of gear have belts built into them, and it seems like it would not be a terrible (although possibly time consuming) process to restore the appearance of Belt equipment.

Various other layers to equipment need improvement too. It's long since passed the time that we needed more than one dye channel to equipment. So much equipment is ruined just by dying it because of the unfortunate effects those colors have on specific portions of equipment.

As it is now, underwear is completely hidden by equipment. I would much prefer a system like PSO2 where many of the leg equipment we have already can become its own underwear slot, but this does seem like a somewhat less reasonable demand compared to the others I've mentioned.

Of all the meme suggestions, I'd like this, but with colors actually. Yes some people can and will try to match their skin tone, but people do that literally anyway with leggings for no pants.

White isn't that great of a color for a WoL who's baths seem to consist of being dunked in the pool by greedy fae and getting spewed at by water spitting monsters.

It'd benefit NPC's, too, given the number of hot springs and such throughout the game world. There's at least three now - Camp Bronze Lake in La Noscea, another in Kugane and a third in Lakeland.
