It would make much more sense to me for this to have been two armour sets: one with the male version and a stylistically similar female version, one with the female version and a stylistically similar male version. Other armour sets with major gender differences usually have some stylistic or thematic link between the two.

That probably makes it the third oldest armour design in the game (after Krytan and Profane).

 

True male would be impossible to fight in if you look on pauldrons and not to talk about weight

[Trise.2865]

The title reminds of a scene from Robin Hood: Men in Tights, where the eponymous men disguise as maidens, using fruits to simulate feminine anatomy. Specifically, it references the line suggesting that one's fruits may require an adjustment to be an effective disguise.

[Kalendraf.9521]

The needed fix would be to actually add some. The armors in this game are overly modest compared to other MMOs and RPGs I've played. For a game that includes many examples of high magic fantasy, the mundanity of its armor is horribly inconsistent.

Where are my male skirts ༼つಠ益ಠ༽つ

Yet there is still no Charrkini!

You're not alone.

[kettering.6823]

it does get a little tiresome seeing the same slutty armor sets running around with little to know innovation in style probably made by thirsty dudes

 

but that's just a Fashion Wars complaint. like come on fellas at least try to make your characters look interesting

[MisterDapper.5984]

I somewhat agree. A large portion of female armor is just sexist while the male armor is more practical. At the very least we should have more slutty male armor. To even the playing field.

[Tsakhi.8124]

I don't think "sexist" is quite the word I'd use, "provocative" , maybe. I truly can't link the correlation between daring armor and degradation.

[Tiviana.2650]

I dont have a problem with sexy armor, but it needs to go both ways. If a male norn wants to run around in a loin cloth that should be his choice. My point was that some armors that have fantastic detail and look like something that would fit a necro or w/e class, looks completely different on a female. Its very disappointing, i really wanted that witches outfit till i saw the female version. Im not against the female version per say, i would just like to have the choice if i wanted the male version look on my female. As it stands i wont buy it.

[ElectricGoat.8253]

I really dont see what the problem is with the female armor. Of course it'd be different, for the two genders. Perhaps it could be a little more revealing, as it is its a little tame. Perhaps it could be less revealing. I feel there should be a revealingness slider on female characters.

If you think that things like bulkiness, strength, etc do matter enough to make females use completely different armor types than males, then build differences between different people would also matter enough to warrant personal fitting of any heavier armor.

> Ah, yeah. So, you're saying that in this world armor usefulness takes second seat to artistic value. Well, that would explain why Ascalon lost to Charr (the race that apparently has opposite priorities). It was because the ascalon army was wearing decorative armor, while Charr were using actual combat ones.[/sarcasm]

> You mean they can't simply buy the set for opposite gender, because, for some weird reason, everyone will refuse to sell them one? Yeah, right. That's some logic you have here.

> > And who are we, to judge this rich, diverse foreign culture for their cultural differences, after all, even if those seem nonsensical to our uneducated, xenophobic eyes? Let's not be toxic bigots here ;) If women there like to wear their armor burkas, we don't have any right to intervene. I mean, it's all about diversity, right?

There is a whole wardrobe full of choice. You are not pinned down to the base look of a set if you don't like it, but want to use the set.

[Hugheszie.6291]

Personally, I want less Skirts and dresses, I like to wear normal trousers too with Armour on them.

[Roksiel.6123]

If anything, the game doesn't have enough sexy armor skins imo.

[LostInDarkness.5460]

Some of use like female fantasy skimpy armor. They they have put ot so much unisex stuff to satify anyone.

I would like to see more skimpy fantays stuff to be honest.

[Blood Red Arachnid.2493]

My only problem with the bikini armor is that it doesn't appear in the store.

Humor? Effortless poking fun at something? Shenanigans?

 

Good stuff in general. Pointless? Sure. Fun? Can be.

[Cbrag.9102]

I loooooooove the way the Phalanx armor skin looks. Thankfully, I am a person who likes to play male characters. If I preferred to play female characters, I'd be bummed to know that the helm isn't available to me. People are getting lost in the delivery of OP's point, but I do agree with it. I think shoulders and helm pieces have the most noticeable accents and they're what makes armor sets the most iconic. Some pieces can be substituted for a female to replicate the male look but in the case of the phalanx helm, the shapes are nothing alike.

 

Also why tf would anyone bring up anatomy / physiology? lol ya'll forget this game got magic or wut?
