Far Northern Attire

[Ath192]

Hello I know this has been a issue for quite a while and I felt since I am a descendant of the Sámi tribe I felt it would be worth throwing my hat into the ring. I feel that the coat being on the mog station without any discussion with the representatives of our tribe. It not having any explanation within the game does not help their case. If Square Enix is striving for respectful representation of cultures that they draw inspiration from they should take the initiative to adjust the failure to represent the cultures they have pulled from prior. The best way to handle it is to change the coat entirely and then refund those have purchased it or redesign it and give the players who have it give them the option to either refund or to keep the new version of the coat. They could then consult the Sámi and find a way to implement the Sámi traditions into the game in a far more tasteful way. Thank you for your time reading this. I hope this words resonate with those at Square Enix who strive for respectful representation within this world we all love and make memories in. May you ever walk in the light of the crystal.

We all have cultures where we come from and I’d rather not live in a world where everyone has to ask for permission to wear fantasy costumes that may or may not have been inspired by real life trends. Whether they come from my culture, or others.

Asking to limit creativity and freedom of expression only leads to tyranny and a much more dull and boring world. When diversity thrives and ideas are shared, even fashion, the world thrives.

Unless you want to live in a world where others can tell you what you can or can’t wear and you can do the same to them I would encourage you to understand that just because you can be offended doesn’t mean others will or they designed certain things with the purpose of being offensive.

I haven't consult US Army for the right to use the internet.

Am I in trouble?

As someone who is Jewish I like that a lot of the male hair styles feature what I would call "payos" (payot, sidelocks) they don't look exactly like the most common style seen in the community, and I doubt the designers used those as an inspiration, it's just a coincidence, but I was still amused to see them. It's good to be inspired by and appreciate other cultures, if it is done respectfully isn't it a good thing to share culture?
