Im tired of casual attire glams

[Kinazu]

I personally think the set looks great, granted it is right up my alley and style, so there is some bias to it.

I do however think that people generalise "casual" clothing too much. If we take the latest Halloween glam for example, last time I actually saw people wearing clothes like that was at a metal / rock concert, I barely see people wearing that in day-to-day life, so I wouldn't really classify it as "casual".

Comparing it to the other PvP glam sets, which, imho, are more closer to tech-wear; I wouldn't classify as "casual" attire either, teach-wear a niche fashion that I also barely see in my day-to-day life.

Same for this one honestly. It gives me 90's / early 00's vibes, and although (at least over where I am at), there's been a rise in this style under the younger people it's still far from common.

For me casual is a simple t-shirt, straight jeans and some sneakers. But I guess that's different for everyone.

The same can be said for wanting more fantasy-inspired glams. Some people want full-on heavy armour, others want cloth or leather. The fact remain is that whatever they decide to release, people are going to be upset. I'm willing to make a bet that if they instead released a full on heavy-armoured glamour, people would have complained too.

Anyway, what I actually mean is: Fashion is a huge landscape, and lumping different styles together and calling it "casual" is kind of unfair as the styles they've released are vastly different from one another from a fashion point of view.

I find the Halloween outfit meh to decent, it's not my style but I can find a few uses for it.
I find the older PvP glams to be okay. Again, not fully my style.
This new set however feels like it was made for me.

There's so much more nuance to fashion and style than just casual and non-casual.

Casual as non-combat gear that fit the overarching aesthetic of the game.

Its used as a catch all term for real life clothing in this context.

Remember how Yoshi-P said he would integrate ideas from the most popular mods so that people don't have to use plugins anymore? Now this patch has minimalist housing and two (2) sets of casual gear. It's a good idea, but unfortunately, Yoshi-P forgot the most important thing in FFXIV culture: sex appeal and large mammaries. He still thinks that most FFXIV players actually play FFXIV instead of just idling somewhere while playing other games or making porn. That's especially visible given that he updated the theme of the stock launcher that no one uses. Still, it's a nice try and hopefully there will be a Square Enix MMO that doesn't rely so much on plugins and playing other games. (FFXIV is probably the most expensive MMO because of how many other games you have to buy in order to play with other FFXIV players).

Because we want Fantasy in Final Fantasy, not Final Cyberpunk or Final sci-fi

Except the Final Fantasy series has always been a heavy mesh of Cyberpunk and Sci-fi with fantasy. We're still getting the fantasy glams for armor and stuff. Tbh fantasy casual style glams are... well.. they exist in game already and there's really not much more to it. Most of the fantasy stuff tends to be more armor oriented which we have plenty of.

They’re cute, but I do share a desire for more “fantasy” looking gear… the cash shop dress coming in December (from Exvius) is more up my alley. Just hoping it’s both dyeable and separate pieces… mix and match potential is also a big factor for glam options. While the All Saints Wake outfit wasn’t my style, the gloves and boots were worth it! This winter coat set though, I’ll probably wear it once, take some cute snowball fight screenshots and be done with it til next winter.

Caffe does have a point about sex appeal too… my main is a Lala because, in addition to being absolutely adorable and having the best emotes, most of the in-game gear looks best on her. My tall characters however, spend the majority of the time wearing the same 7-8 outfits because I’m a caster main and 90% of caster gear looks like a burlap sack, and we haven’t had any gear role restrictions unlocked since the level 60-ish gear. So for the tall characters, it’s either mostly modern level 1 glams, or be wrapped in fabric up to your chin. lol

I'm puzzled by what the OP considers fantasy themed gear.

Finale Fantasy XI gear? The gear as seen in the highly pixilated worlds of Final Fantasy 1-5? The modern, yet still fantastic, gear of Final Fantasy 9,10,12,13 and 15?

Somehow, a number of players have decided that gear in Final Fantasy 14 should not be out of place at a Rennaissance Faire. Given the breadth and depth provided throughout the last 10 years, it should have been fairly obvious early on that wasn't going to be the case.

They keep data on glamours, so I assume they see that lots of people use casual glamour items.

I feel like they've run out of ideas for regular fantasy gear, or the restrictions they have on how they make gear just ends up making it all look the same anyway. I can't even tell if the new dungeon gear is actually new or just recolors and mixed around versions of existing gear.

Here's an idea they could do, go back through all past glamours and remove the ridiculously overused shoulder pad design and neck fluf/fur stuff they love to stick on to everything and ruin it.

I hate this preppy yacht club aesthetic so much - this is the least offensive outfit in this style they've given us - purely by virtue of the voluminous scarf and the exaggerated proportions on the jacket - but it's still hideous Andy Bernard coded Easter brunch horror

I hate it also....I am so tired of the same old same. I do not know who is designing the outfits and hairstyles but at this moment in time it feels like they have no clue. I am all for variety but its not even nice. I love the omicron gear from the omega raids why do they not add more like that? or something along those lines. I really do not want another robe for summoner >.< I am running round in the thavnarian set and also the Hyur female race body because its nicer but after years I am in need of something feminine.
