Racial Gear

[Hazama999]

I imagine they could do it, but who knows if they will.

Unfortunately for a lot of people, "flavor" translates to "this race can wear these pants and that other race can't for some reason."
This is, in my opinion, a cheap and artificial way to provide "flavor" to races. It says nothing about the race beyond the ability to wear an item.
The same thing applies to hairstyles and the like. If, for example, you could tell me that an elezen couldn't wear some viera article of clothing because there is some kind of property to the item that is intrinsically linked to the identity of viera as a race, then I could accept that... But that's not really the case.

This, of course, extends to other things such as emotes and poses and whatnot. It comes off as rather odd because this is a game in which any race can play any job but standing with your arms posed in a particular direction is exclusive to certain races. From a technical standpoint, I get it. It is also cheap and practical, as mentioned before... Still feels odd.
