I love it!

One of my favorite aspects of Final Fantasy XIV is being able to wear almost any style of equipment, even if it is above my rank/level. The fashions of some of these equipment are fantastic and I'd really like to see options in the future. Velveteen fashion for example, has me absolutely thrilled, as well as some of the classy-looking jackets. I'm not suggesting that there is anything wrong, but that my interest is piqued when I find a game such as this this type of fashion.

Specifically, one of the styles I'd like to see an improvement upon (or rather, additions upon) is the 18th Century Late Baroque and Rococo Fashion, 1750-1800 style of fashion. I've seen that some of our current fashions have received a bit of influence from this time period and it is pleasing on the eyes. An example of what I currently see in-game from this time period would be the male on the right: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...am_Hallett.jpg Currently, I can almost reproduce this man's fashion.

And the Archer fashions? Just as great! I really feel "in character" as I play with help of the fashion.

Note that I have been "living under a rock", so to say, for years and playing MMORPGs that look incredibly cartoonish. This is a great improvement compared to my past experiences with MMO fashion and I'd really like to see more.

The last MMORPG (I'll try to keep this anonymous) that I played had very interesting graphical work in-game and for equipment fashions, but eventually started coming out with cartoonish fashions designed for kids. Mohawks and wild hair (afros and Einstein-crazed haircuts, too) and gas masks (wut????), and rock star metal and spike studded leather jackets... It murdered the sense of adventure for me.

There are a few things that I'd like to not see for future updates, which would be "ridiculous" looking fashion. Vague is that description, but I think the above paragraph can help describe the kinds of things I'm not interested in seeing. Based on my past experience with Final Fantasy series, I think it is safe to say that I don't have to worry about that crazy stuff happening.

I do understand that this company has heavy Japanese influence and I do not find Japanese fashion difficult on the eyes. Actually, I find it enjoyably. Many of the fashions from FFXI thrilled me, especially the kimonos that came with the goldfish event in FFXI were on my "WANT LIST" for many months and I made sure to subscribe and play to get it during that month.

Certainly, there is a possibility that I am one of few that might feel this way and I don't expect this thread to go far. One could say that I often spend too much time I suppose I'd only like to show my support as it appears that equipment fashion is already heading in a great direction. I trust that in the future, SE will please me with a interesting fashion sense for my character.

I... I think this is the right location for this... It is the Items/Synthesis section, right? I'd like synthesis of more fashion.
