    this is a ridiculous post. if you dont like the gear dont wear it. this stuff is by far pretty tame compared to what else is out there in other games. more than half of Teras gear set for female characters is practically naked with only a butt crack and nipples being covered and people dont complain about that. this gear set is literally the bikini set from last summer WITH more fabric added to it. so technically last year was worse. No ones going to complain about this to the point where its actually going to make a difference. Im not trying to be rude but one person out of the entire community being offended by a bathing suit isnt going to make a difference.... im sure there are way more things to worry about in your life than a video game character in a bikini.

    It's always entertaining to read how some people feel it is "mature" or "adult" to get off on the fleshy curves of a cartoon. "Mature" and "Adult" material are the biggest misnomers in the history of the language. They usually mean exactly the opposite. But alas, that is a culture trend that the few among us that reject it are going to have very little power to counter. Thus happens to be the reign of the Lowest Common Denominator.

    Having said that, I want to comment on the OP: a) I feel the post is sincere and far from trolling. b) She is entitled to her opinion and her discomfort. I am sure many (both men and women, myself included) are sympathetic to most, if not all, of it, at the most basic level. That doesn't mean we would share her attitudes, but neither does it mean we would condemn them. And finally, c) If we were indeed mature and adult, we would know better than deal with her admittedly strong words with corrosive and unhelpful epithets, and tell her to "shut it."

    Market Share is a powerful motivator, and the Market has spoken! Yoshida has shown he is far from a purist, and I'm sure both the company's upper echelons at its headquarters, and its shareholders are celebrating. We definitely do not live in an ideal world, when we are married to the Market.

    It's not like you don't have other options of what gear to wear...

    It's less about maturity and more about discerning what goes on in a video game and how things are done in real life.

    Seriously, the OP sounds too much like those people that blame violence on music and video games.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

    I've seen so many guys showing off their stuff here...
    But not a single one in the mage Coliseum gear yet!

    It amazes me how people just think they can redefine certain words to suit their special utopian worldviews. Here's a hint: maturity is about being able to act mature around the bad stuff just as much, about being able to tolerate the things you don't like. Maturity most certainly is not about wearing something just because a group of people say to or just acting a certain way because someone or a group of people find it offensive.

    You clearly don't know the meaning behind the label of mature and adult. It is opposed to CHILD. No, half naked chicks are absolutely not something children should be allowed to see. But if adults wish to see it, they should be allowed to see it. And 'mature' is physically mature, not necessarily emotionally or mentally mature. And physically mature is just a synonym for an adult.

    So yes...half naked chicks are more adult content, as it is not for kids.

    In a world where more and more men behave as women and women behave as men it is really offensive to put sexy clothes on a female body!!!!
