These armors also show like 2/3 of back and 1/2 of [filtered]... There is fanservice and there is being just pathetic. It's not anymore about lack of logic in exposing vital points - this is about looking terribly forced, like man-sized tits in ecchi doujin. Only 1 level above elins in armors flashing panties every move. It makes me almost miss NA censorship.
I did, but I was hyped, after minutes of fighting and running, I see that change of Feet completely ruined the costume, again another costume not usable for Femani, can I hate BHS? More? I love Femani damit
I personally don't care about female Amani legs. One of my characters is female Amani, because they look badass in general.
Don't you dare talk [filtered] about Femani Dragon feet, they are dragon ladies with dragon feet, we play FEMANI FOR THE FEET.
It's just a generalization. Like, I see as many Barakas as female Amani, which is sad. People just like humas-ish and lolies with a sexy sparked. Asians has their own preferences in comparison to western players.
BHS don't care about western players, they care only about and if for their Asians players.
"I expect fantasy games to be realistic!"
Well this armor looks that is able to protect their user.
In Fantasy games, males and females were kinda stereotyped to a degree. This of course has been changing with time, but lets jump back to the topic. Males would get always the super cool looking full body armor because they would always play the roles of damage dealer or the tank, and heavy armor looks really sharp and awesome on males.
On the other hand, females would always be looked as support based characters or casters. Since they focus would be more on mobility than taking a beating, they were given light clothing, but for most, this clothing had to be appealing and make em look sexy and flattering, thus the bikini armor type was born.
With time this mentality has changed and now you can see both genders wearing the same coverage when using full body armor, at least here on the West. Over there on the East, and this will be the case for any game coming from that area, females have to look flattering in any form, be it at the front lines or at the support. Unfortunately, they took it a bit too far for most games TERA being one of them.
Going back to the dragon armor: The armor by far looks more decent than most in game armors for like, for example, Castanic female. It does not cover the belly, but that is oddly enough the selling point they want to express, not just for guys, but for girls too.
In the end, when you talk about making armor for females in Eastern games, they most likely will make it skimpy or showing key areas of skin, while for males it will always be the standard full body covering (except Castanic males, they look like strippers, which is pretty much a first for most games).
the day will come when we can have a full body armor for females that looks both functional and flattering, but for now, the closest to that would be this new dragon costume and some Fashion Coupon armors.
I took a picture of my character and i photoshop drew on what i would of been happier with. I still like the new armour but this way it would of been heaps better.
Like dont get me wrong, i dont mind them showing characters showing skin even with armours but theres a time and a place to show skin, and this armour didn't warrant showing skin especially like i feel like they just wanted a excuse to show underboob, it was a lazy way to sexualise it tbh.
I started playing this game when i was 15/16 now I'm 20... I guess its just my age now... and my preferences have changed, but Elins are supposed to be cute, thus their appeal being loli's. So I can't stand seeing midriff on an Elin, which makes half of the varsity costumes and things look like garbage for Elin, but they don't particularly suit other females either...
Like the mafia outfit the only decent one is Elins, the rest are really plain
Same with the ninjagi costume, the cut on the other females is just scary... Elin's is the most realistic
The glacial dragon armor is probably my most favourite to date right now for castanics besides the bomber jacket (cause I love bomber jacket)
While Elin's where better in the days of dyable snowbelle, Arin and Rida's.
But you still have a lot of costumes today that still cater more to Elins, and look strange on any other race like the picnic outfit.
Although this is just my opinion on things... but it's also the reason why my lunar dancer is only going to have like 3-4 costumes
- Glacial Dragon
- Rogues Garb
With a black cape
And for optional things that don't fit the aesthetic
- Cocktail Dress
- Bomber Jacket
- SWAT Uniform
- Dojo or Ninjagi
Cause nothing looks really fantastic on Castanics...
Wow yeah, that looks heaps better.
And I'm glad there are people that agree with me it's not even just the fact that it's skimpy, it's not even a flattering skimpy.
