Gaia's Outfit on Mogstation

[RobynDaBank]

Got some people in here who need a Darwin award for their idea of what effort is. Lol

What does that mean? If you're meaning that it's a lot of effort to separate the outfit into pieces (and anyone claiming otherwise doesn't have a clue), then IDK, please do explain to us how difficult it is. /shrug People can only go by what they see if they don't know precise information, and what they see is that 1. SQEX is a big company, and 2. a modder already "made" her outfit 3 years ago.

There's videos on YouTube to explain the process of porting and fitting clothes to new models if you want to literally see it.

In a nutshell though, they basically exported the garment, removed all of the parts of the jacket and (I don't know specifically what mod it is so I can only guess from here) upscaled it to a different/multiple modded bodies or refit the edited garment back to the vanilla bodies.

As far as the splitting, I'm moreso willing to guess that the outfit was originally in separate pieces (as was the case with Lyse's gown) and Square was the one who fused them into one. I can't say for sure unless someone can get a hold of Gaia's model in Eden wearing the dress and check that via a certain gpose program.

Likely it's rigged for Gaia only and when you wear that outfit you basically perform a bodyswap to match her body.

Could explain why it's fem only if that's the case.

I just don't get it TBH... why, oh why do they do this with NPC outfits? It's not like they don't know how to create separate outfits... they have the design, they have concept artwork, they probably aren't creating from scratch like they do with non-NPC attires. Why not just make them proper outfits too? Why do they have to squeeze and stretch and borrow from the actual NPC to fit characters?

Thank you for explaining!

i feel generally ripped off after buying this outfit. I literally CANNOT use this outfit. how can i glam something if it doesnt allow me to wear feet, legs and hands with it??? its useless unless I just want to stand around without doing any content while wearing this outfit. this is a huge mistake

If this question is about what I think it is you can apply the outfit to a glamour plate and glamour it over your existing whatever ilevel gear. It's just like mascot outfits. So while I can't comment about how much you'll use it, you definitely CAN use it and run content with it without sacrificing ilevel.

am i misunderstanding something? im pretty sure you can glamour it just fine. just glamour it on your chest.

You really have to wonder about the mogstation items, far more female items than male items, new items locked from viera due to headgear or hair, glam weapons have wands for WHM and BLM, which are impossible to glam most gear people will use in-game with.
Does the mogstation team even pay attention to how people play or what people want? I feel like it's so disconnected and any feedback takes forever to get through.

The more female oriented stuff compared to male is pretty much commonplace in any character customization game. More people play female characters in general + are willing to shell out cash for revealing clothing so they tend to be provided for more compared to male characters.
