[SPECULATION] F A S H I O N ! - Nothing is More IMPORTANT!
Ello peeps! Its your resident, self-appointed community Fashion Queen GemiiChan!!! I wanted to open a thread (tried searching for one, and dear baby jebus, the bugs!) so we could discuss the most IMPORTANT feature in any MMORPG...FASHION!
Say it with me people... F A S H I O N!!!!!
My biggest concern is the lack of "**** styled" costumes! As I do cuteness to the overdose levels, I need CUTE and COLOR and abnormal clothing! Things that make me look like a puffy sheepy or a cute cat!
What sort of outfits are you hoping to have within the game? And whats your favorite style of fashion?
GIVE ME ALL THE DETAILS!!! I want colors, fabric, design...GIVE ME LIFE!!!! GIIIIIIVVVVVVEEEEE MEEEEEEEEE DRAAAMAAA!!!

Dragon Age is another one to look at to start from.
I generally avoid revealing clothing unless I play a race with tribal lore. I'll probably play a dwarven cleric of the Niküa race, so I'll have that theme open. However, I tend to enjoy tribal armor a lot more if I don't need to wear a shirt.
But please for the hope of reason. I would appreciate that the eastern stereotype anime like aesthetic influence '****' stay the f%&k away from this game.
The are more MMOs than my fingers with that style being offered now. No need to pollute this one.
Just my personal opinion.
while other eastern style games do armour a little ridiculously (heavy armour that is something a brothel worker might wear) i do love that when you get a new piece of armour it looks like a different piece of armour and not just a re-skin of armour you already have.
hopefully all the armour looks practical and correct but also has an awesome look to it and a unique look for each type of armour piece.
would love to see a dying/enameling system similar to DAoC and other games so that I dont run into people wearing exactly the same stuff as me when I am playing.
and obviously a wardrobe option so you can maintain a look you like even when replacing the armour pieces with something better.
I don't think I've seen a game really come out along with a texture along that lines, and I think if they could do that so much could be accomplished. >.<

Same. I do believe they're trying to build a world that <em>is</em> that world; in other words, within the lore of that world, is there room for fluffy bunny sheepy whatever? I know BDO went that route but ... well, BDO. 'Nuff said.
It is my hope that AoC abstains from this melding of fashion, in order to keep the world more "real" and viable.
I understand it is a contant for a lot of mmos but goodness, why you all so serious?
Not to mention, I dont think this topic said "Bash the ****" or "What fashion do you hate"...<em>most</em> of you are so focused on what you don't want instead of actually speculating what you do want. To say its a "disease" or "has no place in a good MMO" or even thing implying that it wouldn't be real or break the game immersion, go a little far and is definitely NOT why this thread was created!
Anywhoo, I don't see the need to maintain a "strict" fashion barrier because you can only have so much of one design type before it becomes redundant within itself. I'm not opposed to having cool looking fashion, practical looking armor, but I think there will always be a need for cute and cuddly too!
So SHEEPY COSTUMES for the win!

I'm sure leather and cloth will have tones of room for some skimpy outfits. I want both skimpy and non-skimpy armor!
Surprised how many developers get lack on this.

The mideival Sorc from Witcher two had those awesome horns that were actually braided hair?..Oh i though that was so awesome looking.
OMG my post disappeared..... dang it. Welll, I had a more detailed post.
Outfits that fit professions, classes.
I like BDO's Ranger beginning outfit and Farmer's outfit.
GW2 for it armors and dying system
Old world style Asian outfits.
Rich detailing of clothing.
Going "Yeah, I like this look," and being able to keep it, or seeing or having an idea of a look and being able to go find it or even buy it within the game has always been fun for me.
I'd like to see more flat footed shoes on females like slippers, boots, sandals. <wink-wink-nudge> Not a big fan of high heels.
I also hope that head pieces are optional as far as displaying them. No use spending hours on hair and face to be covered up.
I heard that some jewelry will be showing....sounds fun, especially necklaces.

I undoubtedly agree with you. People are so negative and quick to jump to what "they" dont like....
All i asked was what fashion do you like or want in the game...how that turned into "I hate anime styled **** clothes" bash fest is beyond me!
[quote quote=19572]I would like to see some styles taken form BDO or maybe just maybe from S.A.O. Hope we get to see some more armor/ weapons while the kickstarter is going on ;3

I wasn't an avid fan of BDO but they had some amazing costume designs!!! They were really nice and I would love to see some of those same ideals in AoC; especially the fabric movements...SUUU NICE!!!! >.<; lmao
[quote quote=19663]I blush to say it, but I liked a lot of the fashion looks of Aion, the girlyness of hair ribbons, and fluff, but I have to say fighting in high heels ??!! really? ok, still. I like sexy, but not while I’m seriously fighting, I want an outfit that shouts “serious”.

I played AION since pre-alpha and OMG OMG i LOVE their costumes and customization!!! You could have the same outfit but with all the dye options look completely different, I do also love the skinning...O_O; OMG I never asked if there was going to be skinning or separate costume panel in-game? I think that will be good for ask intrepid on discord! *makes note for self* lol

I’m at work now and can’t browse pictures to post here for reference, but I’ll point to the world in The Witcher 3. It’s of the same medieval theme with subtle stylistic differences for each kingdom, and just look at Ciri, or the sorceresses!
Dragon Age is another one to look at to start from.

Ive only be able to catch bits and pieces of the Witcher, were the horns an item? or just a feature on a boss or something? How is the fashion in that game???? I know its medieval but like...old...or newer aged medieval?
[IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/290yl4x.jpg[/IMG] I really love the top part of her armor and her arm armor, I would prefer the bottom part of her armor be pants instead I'm not a big fan of skirts.
I really like armor that shows a bit of arm like in the second pic, I just love arm armor lol and I want lots of tight pants armor! Big baggy Trench coats and skirts are not my thing. I like form-fitting clothes.
But please for the hope of reason. I would appreciate that the eastern stereotype anime like aesthetic influence ‘****’ stay the f%&k away from this game.
