Faerie Aesthetics - What We Want vs What We Got

[DiaDeem]

What we want:



What we got:



Don't get me wrong, the Anden quest was cute, but his helmet I just don't care for, and I'm a bit frustrated at rewards from Pixie content... The ONLY real Fae attire we have is from Mog Station, and it's nowhere near as pretty as the Titania Dress & Wings. No Pixie glam, no wing mounts (the ones we got don't even have unique emotes like Umbrellas do) and I keep thinking the dev team doesn't quite get why some of us would love more Faerie/Pixie inspired attires.

You will never be allowed to don the kingly attire of Titania.

I mean... Feo Ul DOES say we can always say we want to be Titania, take their place....

Maybe then we'd get some goddang rest.

Summoners get cool Primals and DRGs get awesome armor, and we can't get a dress replica?

I have the Fae dress, worked well for a Forgiven Namazu glam for a silly EX prog a couple years ago lol. I use the boots, capris, and the head piece for a lot of stuff, but not so much the dress. I'd definitely go for the kingly dress though, I'm sure at least one of my characters would make it work.

I read a fanfiction about that. Arbert took the Warrior of Light's place, and they became Titania. Also they were in a romance with each other. Very weird.

I've wanted Titania's dress for my female characters since Shadowbringers and wasn't impressed in the slightest by the cheap online store knockoff. Overall I would have liked to have seen the fae play more of a role in the story in tandem with additional rewards...and then we get tone deaf responses like "Why would you want to summon Feo Ul as a scholar? She might pull a prank on you!"

I guess with thinking limited as that we can't expect much from people who would sooner focus on a sentient bush and instead try and pass off this "King" nonsense when both Feo Ul and the original Titania are obviously female. Just wish they stuck with treating them with the respect high fantasy elements like this deserve instead of turning everything into a joke if not an attempt at subversive messaging in the english localization.

You have female characters?! Mercy on the forum's collective soul! xD

The Fae themselves though are genderless, and as much as I hate to say it, use 'they, them' pronouns. That said Titania clearly is feminine and exudes it from head to toe, but 'King' is still the appropriate title for their ruler due to the rules of linguistics. I personally do not care and always use female pronouns when referring to her.

Based of them, really. The Fae were above petty mortal things such as gender before it was cool.

(it was always cool, we just hadn't realized it yet.)

I wouldn't mind getting faerie glamour like, hair styles and dresses.

I think anything that isn't Titania's would fall short of player expectation, much like the OP pointed out. And in this case, I think that expectation is perfectly reasonable considering the game's own canon involving Il Mheg. The WoL is the rightful ruler of Il Mheg and the title of Titania. The Swamp Thing's glamour falls a wee bit short of that imo. A missed opportunity from the dev team, big time. They would have got a lot of praise getting glamours, hairstyles, and dresses in the list of items to buy with this currency.

I suppose. The Fae just aren't a binary species, and gender can't apply to them.

Ugh, Final Fantasy XIV is in such dire need of better hair and outfit physics. Would solve so many problems.

It's good to be the King.
