Beautiful clothes / vanity gear

Hello! I'm very excited about this game.
One of the things I like the most in MMORPG and other online games - is dressing up my character and making them look good. To that end, I am often disappointed by games focusing only on gear that makes sense in a battle scenario. Chainmails, plate, weathered leather gear, mage robes, etc. And then they completely forget casual clothes.

One of my favorite games in that regard is FFXIV. You can get anything there - from combat armor to parade uniforms, from traveller's cloaks to beautiful dresses, tuxedo suits and arcane gear with shiny floating crystals. You get casual-looking shorts, skirts and pants too. You have anime-like over-the-top gear with belts and buckles.
For those who like them, you get bikini suits and sexy-dancer attire.

The game doesn't shy away from "bikini-chainmail" while also providing classy and battle-weathered looks too.

I really enjoy that aspect. I hope that Ashes does the same.
I really hope that you can work with Asian and Western clothes designers to create a diverse set of outfits and clothes.

This is a casual concern, but it really elevates games for me if I can wear brooding warlock outfit with sculls and spikes one day, and then switch it up to pink mini-skirt and top when I feel like it.

Also I always wanted a game with more vanity slots - like underwear, stockings, hair clips/bows, bracelets, etc.

Lastly, I enjoy options to hide gear. I sometimes enjoy going bare-feet and in only small bra +pants or skirt as part of barbarian-ish roleplay. I really hope that's possible.

Cheers!

p.s. It seems a lot of people get confused about Bikinis. I am NOT suggesting to definitely have those in the game. I was merely listing the breadth of options in FFXIV. Now, personally I wouldn't mind bikinis (I wouldn't wear them, but having an option is better in my book). But The point is to make more casual and non-battle vanity gear like dresses, shirts, pants, skirts, etc. Not necessary to go all the way to Korean-style MMO with panties everywhere (Although personally I would love them).

There's nothing wrong with sexualizing anything or anyone.

This pointless virue-signalling serves nothing but making games more boring.
Taking offense at things like that FOR other people is pretty lame, you know. I dress up however I want and want my character to be dressed up however I chose. Thank you very much.

The fact that I can't and don't prance around in the real world in bikini or a sexy anime suit has NOTHING to do with how I should be able to dress up in the game. It has nothing to do with the real world.

I find that people nowadays are super-eager to tell others what they should be finding offensive.

No racism. No s*xism. No offensive/dirty jokes. Sorry if I went off-topic.

I do agree with this. However wearing beautiful and sometimes revealing or sexy clothes is NOT sexism.

It is merely self-expression. Why is it bad to want to look attractive?!

Next you will complain that beautiful female faces and slim body types is also sexism.

Wow had a nude patch for like 10 years AoC Conan release as rated R with nudity. The world did not end. Now do we want that for this game ...probably not but I see nothing wrong with a cosmetics store having cosmetics that people actually want to buy. Because if a cosmetics store doesn’t sell enough we all know what usually ends up in the store as a last ditch effort and none of us want that. So as long as the store is pg-13 I am ok with whatever they want to put in there as long as it’s just cosmetic

The game is going for a more medievalist feel. I don't want their to be anime costumes, as this completely goes against the theme of the game.

So i disagree with you, I want this game to have a more WoW kind of gear/costume style, more than a FF14 style.

Wow is probably the number 1 source of bikini armor 100s of sets like that lol it also gave us night elf mail box dancing

I disagree in that regard. I think in order for the game world to feel more immersive, a sense of realism needs to apply at least when talking about battle gear. Having a tank run around in a bikini does not make sense if their role is to soak damage. Your abdomen would just get shredded open if you wore a bikini into battle.

In terms of sexualizing anything or anyone, there are definitely things that come to mind which would be super innapropriate to sexualize.

The developers have already stated that the gear will take a more realistic approach in that sense and that there will no be cosmetic car skins or elaborate costumes that do not fit into the theme of the world. To each their own in regards to what they prefer for cosmetics, but I am quite happy with this decision.

There will however be plenty of cosmetics to dress your character in and the game will have a similar costume/transmog system as that of WoW and BDO where you can apply a cosmetics appearance to your gear

I think they can come up with good looking non combat clothes without going full BDO. I don't mind attractive clothing but I don't think thongs really fit.

Yea but bikini armor is different from just simply wearing a bikini. I don't want to see a female character in a bikini, with rabbit ears on her head, running around in a medieval themed mmo.

Dressing up like an animal has been part of some cultures for 1000+ years. I would be suprised if it never happened in midevil times but likely was a bear or wolf or some other apex preditor they were dressing up as but probably didn't wear a bikini as part of it. Look at all the mythology of half animal half human...to think noone ever dressed up like that doesn't seem resonable. Weather they wanted to pretend or trick someone or put on a play I am pretty sure it happened.
As for combat and competition that had little or no clothes the origional olympics were nude competitions so a bikini would actually cover more. Just saying should not bring history or realism in on this as it's not on your side

Cmon man. Furry naked females/males DID NOT exist in medieval times. They would have been executed.

bikini or a sexy anime

Says a lot about you. Get out of here. We don't accept degeneracy.
Not even cute? or feminine anime style? Unbelievable...

Just stop with this crap. Just like yourself other people are allowed their own opinions. You are no more valuable to this community than they are.

As a response to the OP, I am a bit in the middle regarding this topic. Although I 100% that I would like to see more feminine, even tight-fitting styles of clothing that compliment the figure, I'm not so keen on full on bikinis etc. However, this is MY opinion and I completely respect OP's opinion on the matter.

I don't want to make my post too long, but these are the styles I really like and hope to see similar styles in Ashes:

Robe:

Another robe:

Plate:

Lineage 2 robe :

Would love to see what other people like too

I think the pictures you provided would look great in Ashes!

@Nelirya
OP is asking for "small bra" "underwear" "bikini" "s*xy suit", basically wants all-out.
The genre is ruined by this kind of players. Thinking MMOs are "waifu simulators".

Also, with realistic graphics, stuff like that would mostly make people aroused, shy or guilty. What do you want to accomplish from that? Not everyone wants to see idiots running around naked in a battle. Keep it for your eyes.

Once again; YOUR (and most likely other's also) opinion, however, this does not in any way shape or form justify you telling them to leave, or stop expressing their own opinions. They still have as much right being here as me, you and all other community members. Stop being toxic just because their opinions do not match yours.

Some of the female concepts I would use for a Female Tank (Often use Female Toons). I enjoy the process of finding goodies for my toons, not a massive fan of Bikini Armour but I do love Form Fitting Armour.

Just wanted to pop in again and say that these concept arts is partially what I'm talking about. They're all good, even the skeleton one. I'd wear that, if I'm in that mood.
