Disappointment for Gaia's Outfit

[Monane]

My friends have heard me gush over Gaia's boots since the moment I first saw them. I've constantly sighed over them and wished, prayed, made lala sacrifices for the hope of one day seeing them.

So when her outfit became available in the store, I was immediately notified by said friends. "Finally! My dream boots have come to me!" I thought.

But alas, the dream is not to be. WHY IS IT A ONE PIECE?!?! This is outfit discrimination. The Oracle's Attire is a three piece, with the boots by themselves.
Even Lyse's outfit came with an extra hairstyle. Omega M/F came with earrings (btw Zero's earrings next please).

Going back through the recent NPC items, they are usually a minimum of 2 items in the set. So even if the main body was a one piece, there was some kind of consolation prize. But what does Gaia get? JUST THE ONE PIECE.

It's hardly the end of the world. But my day has been ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable.

Minimum effort for maximum profit, and they know that they can get away with it. That is why.

It's hardly maximum profit. They could have put in a little more effort and likely gotten at least 2-3 times as many sales.

Speaking for myself alone, if it were a multi piece outfit and dyable, I'd have bought it for 3 different characters. Instead I'm not buying it at all.

They could have, but they knew that people would buy it up anyway.

Simple answer: she, Gaia, is not classified as a human character/typical NPC. (most unique NPCs are like this)
Her "outfit" is the entirety of her body, there were never pieces to begin with.

When you buy and use this outfit, it replaces your body with her own.

This is a bit too much information for my tiny hamster brain to comprehend, and yet my mind is blown.

You can join my mental hamster on her wheel. I never thought of it like that and now I wish I didn't.

It's obvious when you use Minfilia's gear, if your character is small chested, they get an instant boob job.

It's obvious with a lot of chest gear that they didn't bother to design much of it for the bust slider. It's just more obvious with Minfilia's outfits because she has a bigger bust than the slider allows anyway.

You’re basically using Gaia’s rescaled body model when wearing the “outfit.”

You can spot this awkward proportions especially when seeing any larger female characters using this like femroes. Additionally if you happen to play a character with different skin tone (let’s say, darker), the fishnet stocking will still show you have Gaia’s skin tone too.
