A Request For More Gear Like 2B's Bottoms

[Kacho_Nacho]

When FFXIV become ARR, character models were changed. Many players did not like the changes to butts.

In addition, individuals have been asking for changes to the character creation screen to have better customization options. Finally, there is the huge issue of Vierra and Hrothgar not being able to wear most headgear.

The hurdle which has prevented most of this from being enacted has been the time and expense it would take to make all of these alterations to the base models.

It seems to me there is an easy workaround already in the game. Gear.

S.E. can provide the player gear which change their characters body. Items such as 2-B's bottoms, Krile's Attire, and Minfilia's Modish Attire show it can be done.

I request that S.E. continue this trend and offer new gear with effects such as better muscle definition, beard stubble, and hairstyles. The sky is the limit for the possibilities.

I'm hesitant about this. Mostly because we have the "give us tattoos!" crowd and the amount of people who dislike gear that forces body markings on you.

The 2b bottoms feel like an outlier item. They're meant to be butt pants, and are used for that purpose. We have a pretty bare-bones character customization system, but I am against adding more gear that changes my character's appearance beyond what I chose in the character creation screen.

Problem: I don't wanna have to be stuck with a single pair of pants if I wanna have a nice butt.
The gear is a workaround, but not an optimal one. And if they start adding more character augmentation gear it might come at the expense of updates to the character creator.

Clever idea, but I'm not sure I'm behind it.

Oh god no. Please no more degenerate gear.

I was thinking more along the line of level one gear as recipes or rewards. You know, stuff meant for glamour. No one should be forced to wear gear which changes the character's actual appearance.

I'm answering your post separately since it brings up a different topic.

MPK, I'm not asking for gear which will allow a certain segment of the player base to go overboard. Certainly not something as silly putting Minfilia's breasts on a lalafell. That would be stupid and rather gross.

What I'm asking for is which would allow players to choose relatively minor changes to appearance of their character model. For example, a dyeable hood with hair which viera and hrothgar could wear.

Or a chest piece with a muscular chest and forceps, so players who play Roegadyn and other races have the option to have someone more muscular than the character creation screen allows.

Nobody in the game is forced to look a certain way really.. we do have glamour on any piece of gear once you've unlocked it.

Thing is there, almost every top for females changes your bust size. Had an alt that I set the breast size to 0 and she looked flat without a shirt on, then I'd put on any gear, and BAM titties. But yes, I agree. I won't want gear making choices for me regarding how my character looks.

I feel like this would only really benefit console players.

(since PC players can just... you know...)

Joke aside, I think this idea is pretty neat and would benefit players of all systems!

...Well. The players who want it...

Except that is..
1) Bannable
2) Is only viewable client-wise, meaning others can't see it

It just makes more sense to include it in the game itself
