Okay can someone identify the outfit here because this screen and the ones above it got me to finally reactivate FF14.

its the Hannish Wool Autumn Shirt + Faire Kohakama skirt, not sure which exact boots those are but there's a ton of little black boots around. For the goth paladin/blue mage sets the goth paladin is wearing the blackbottom cash shop top with the Halloween werewolf ears and byakkos shield and the blue mage is wearing the spriggan top, blue mage artifact mask and probably artifact shoes? Not sure about the shoes or swords from those

They've been getting better about not gender restricting certain outfits.

Unfortunately many still are.

yeah a lot of cosmetic outfits are gender restricted, and some of the non restricted ones look totally different on male and female. its kind of a bummer cause a lot of the female outfits look great but they look lovely on men.

but its still a lot better about it than any other mmo ive seen

heres some new outfits:

red mage


dark knight


white mage

FF14 has a very robust toolset for making your dude look however you wish but it's terribly frustrating when The Perfect Piece is restricted. Like I get unseasonably angry seeing how many cool items are specific to classes I don't play. I'm talking about DRG and NIN gear of course.

As a Hrothgar there’s so many loose fitting clothes that look awful on me because of my slouch. The upside is that going shirtless is always an option

the shoes are the Deepshadow casting boots. you can get the same model in casting and healing variant, and you can buy them for 70 of the clan nutsy nuts. if you want to dye them you have to augment them in eulmore using a material you buy using the tokens you get from the puppet's bunker raid.

there might be an alternate way to get all of those things i just don't know about it.

currently my cause of angst is that the edenmete striking/scouting chestpiece looks a lot more like a dancer chestpiece than the dancer chestpiece does, and i want it. i am sorely tempted to level a samurai just for fashion options.

Yeah. The Rathalos chestpiece is a prime example. On dudes, it looks really kick-rear end, but it looks completely different and boring on female toons.

I'm going to dump my Star Trek Online OCs here, about three paragraphs each



Liliama Lotus Swimm is the captain of the U.S.S. Ecuador. She became a Starfleet scientist to help save people from the kinds of natural and humanitarian disasters that had once plagued her own home planet. Before enrolling in Starfleet Academy, she found a message in a bottle at the bottom of a lake from a volcanologist recorded in times before computers. It recorded for future scientists the local elevation during times before computers. The increase in the elevation in the time since indicated rising magma or increased hydrothermal activity. Professionals then gathered evidence led to an area-wide evacuation.

At Starfleet Academy, she was at first avoidant of other people, but she soon learned that interpersonal skills and science go hand in hand, because scientific data and theory are of little use when they are not well-communicated. Not long after graduating, Lt. Swimm was hurtled through time from 2256 to 2409 during the Klingon War accident that brought J'Ula and Captain Aakar to the same year.

Captain Swimm was born on the planet Atox, the homeworld of a salamander-like species known as Atoxylites. Atoxylites live in semi-aquatic environments with marshes and lakes. They have the ability to change color to express emotion or adapt to their environment, similar to Earth chameleons. Atoxylite music mixes Earth rock, Breen synthesizers, Romulan military marches, and Vulcan meditation ritual acoustics. The chief export of Atox is adaptive equipment for aquatic species. The Federation made first contact (via emissaries from nearby Sauria) in 2246.

Alternate outfits:



The second two outfits are standard in the game. For the winter one, I changed the skin and hair color to look more like salamanders you find at the bottom of alpine lakes.




As First Officer of the U.S.S. Ecuador, Zalaya Sh'Vala takes point on away missions. Raised on the ice world of Andoria by an Andorian father and a Vulcan mother, in combat Dylla Sh'Vala mixes Vulcan strategy with Andorian instinct. In her twenties, Sh'Vala participated in wargame exercises involving defense of Andoria's underground tunnel system, was promoted to commander of the A8-5 tunnel zone, and put into practice ancient pincer tactics used to divide and conquer enemy forces. Afterward, Sh'Vala entered Starfleet Academy and studied to be a tactical officer.

Sh'vala is married to UI Zhen, Khalir Sh'Vala (an ice sculptor), and Th'lia Drek. Marriages of four are customary among Andorians and required for reproduction. Sh'Vala herself was born through genetic resequencing. Ul Zhen, Khalir Sh'Vala, and Th'lia Drek live aboard the U.S.S. Ecuador with their daughter Dylla, age nine.

Growing up was hard for Sh'Vala, not because the two sides of her family had aminosity, but because they were both pushy when it came to their cultural heritage. Her grandmother wanted to teach her a form of Andorian ritual combat called Ushaan, and her grandfather wanted to teach her to mind meld, a trait she hadn't inherited. At the time, she only wanted to focus on schoolwork and play. Then and now, Sh'Vala spends her time in the Holodeck practicing and co-authoring wilderness survival programs, sometimes a solitary outing, and other times a joint venture with friends and family.



Gletora (left) is Chief Science Officer of the U.S.S. Ecuador. Initially for her, learning science was a means to an end of seeking profit, as part of a plan involving tractoring an asteroid and a fool's gold-type switcheroo. The more Gletora studied tractoring, shielding from debris, star system geology, and mining technology, the more it became a matter of curiosity than profit. Using her state-of-the art tractor design, she intervened to save a civilization from an asteroid impact, whose customers later became grateful customers of the Ferengi Mining Consortium. Seeing as how her studies had proved more fruitful and more fulfilling, Gletora joined Starfleet to further her studies.



Moklanak (left) is the Chief Engineering Officer of the U.S.S. Ecuador. He also manages recreational crew events such as parrises squares. Before being promoted, he did stand-up comedy every Friday night after movie hour. He was uneasy with giving orders to former co-workers and requested a transfer. He's outgoing and a regular chatterbox. Creativity was once his weaknesses due to an upbringing in a culture of sequels, reboots, prequels, and prevalent plagiarism. In engineering, now he can come up with on-the-fly tractor beam and tachyon phase inverter (i.e. duct-tape and WD-40) solutions better than anybody he knows.




Dr. Hixor Kott (right) is the Chief Medical Officer of the U.S.S. Ecuador. He has a stern demeanor, but he is good at keeping his patients calm and focused on something other their pain, which is an especially good skill to have for a combat medic. He is married with several adult children and looking forward to retirement.

"Back on Bolias, we have this holiday that started back before we had electricity, when there were these five villages which would light their towers when the Bolian terror birds came out of hibernation, right? They would cover the signal so that the birds became confused, traveling in every which direction for their prey, until they tired out. Well, one year they only had enough oil to light the flame at the top of the towers for one night, but it lasted five days, and that's why every year we light five Bolian candles."
"That sounds an awful lot like an Earth story."
"I'm not finished yet. The Bolian terror birds could run at 200 kilometers an hour, and they could swim. They'd cover and uncover the lanterns to make them blink, so we'd get the message 'One if by land, two if by sea.' It's a time to remember when getting through the night brought people together in a season of family and fellowship."
"..."
"Let me give you some advice. Opportunities to meet up with family don't come around that often in the middle of a war. I don't know what you've got going on, but I do know from experience that if you don't go on shore leave by the time we leave orbit, you're going to regret it. Go on. You've earned it."

"You're going to get through this, okay? Just grab onto my shoulder and we're going to take this one step at a time. Left foot...right foot...there we go...when we get back to the ship, we're going to have a bottle of Saurian brandy and a story to tell."

"These communications logs mention Romulan warbirds on their way to Vulcan."

It always struck me as a shame that TSW was made as an MMO since it probably could've found a wider audience if it were just a regular rpg. That way it wouldn't have had to compete with mists of pandaria, at a bare minimum.

200k subscribers for a subscription rpg on launch was pretty dire.

I think it was one of those mmos pitched and developed during the tail end of the mmo bubble that popped before it was even released. Like watching a pile up on the icy highway ahead of you but the highway wasn't salted and your tires haven't got chains on, so all you can do is watch helplessly as your car slides towards the wreck.
