feminine Cosmetics?

I'm really worried that ashes won't be giving us any cute dresses or outfits. The concept arts of the cosmetic packs haven't shown me anything that indicates that armor skins will differ much with gender. Maybe I'm wrong.. what do you lot think?

Here is the Zoro and wife fight scene. But would love the game to have all the combat action but with the spanish dress with one side drapped over one arm in stead of what this scene shows here wearing.

^ Dresses - Cute
Not at any point did I ask for bikkni's or maid outfits That's all in your imagination that you're projecting on to me. I disagree with your opinion where you say that the cosmetics look perfectly suited to both sexes. Hence why I made this discussion

No thanks, breaks immersion.... There are plenty of MMOs up to your standard, BDO, Tera, FF just to name a few....

Nothing is more cringy then battle armor that is tailored based on gender and not function or purpose... Its an all out fight from city to dungeons, let me wear a floral dress to the occasion lmao....

I recall steven said he wanted more realistic armors and not these ½ naked woman armors.
Plus it is a game, where they have RP in mind. I can emagine you will be able to buy or craft dresses in-game. Just because you don't see it in the cashshop dosen't mean it won't be in-game. I kind of find this stupid. I get that you want a dress. Wait and see what will be in-game

Racial skins enable a player to change their character's racial appearance.

Racial skins can be toggled on and off.
Racial skins are not costumes. This means that armor and character customization is possible on these.

Skin color customization.
Racial skins appear along with any costume appearances.
There are plans to create other racial skins.

Some potential future ideas include undead and werewolf (lycan) skins.

They have already given us some dresses in the shop, but I really hope that inside game no battle armor would be a dress, except perhaps some for the magic based characters, the idea of a knight/fighter/rogue/archer woman wearing a dress in the middle of a battle or a mission is definitely a big no from the immersion POV but I can see a female necromancer wearing a long black dress with a crown even showing some skin, but that's it, not even the "armor" that the female characters uses in Fate Stay Knight seems to fit in the AoC world, at least not from what Intrepid has promised

I haven’t heard anything above changing racial appearances of characters. Only the devil/angel skins come anywhere close to such a thing.

Armor will, however, take different shapes based on the race that wears them. So the new armor cosmetics my have their previewed appearance on elves, but on dwarves and orcs it would look very different in all but the paint job. These cosmetic changes won’t be toggleable, as far as I know based on the info presented so far.

Undead skins have so far been taken off the table of possibilities. Lycans probably won’t exist either as a cosmetic, maybe as a functional thing, if Tulnar don’t already fill the role of were-creatures in Ashes.

It's a fantasy world, so bring on the fantasy. The only thing I ask is that all be togglable.

OrcLuck

Fairs fair. I reckon we could be due for one. I think its a good suggestion.

sunfrog

Interesting question. I vote yes to the dress.

Hm, I suppose the hard no on Undead was in reference to an Undead race. Still, unless the racial skins (tbh “polymorphs” would be a better name) are effected by character race, they would really fall flat.

I'm hoping most of the "cute" things are part of Tailoring or tied to crafting somehow, and not tied to the item shop.

If I want to play an Archmage who prefers cloth-level armor (very breathable and movable armor, enhanced by magic), you better believe I'm going to look as dapper as possible! (Assuming male character, that is).

Hiya! Thanks to branegames for sharing those additional pictures of other dresses/more feminine items we've released in the past

I'll share your feedback on wanting to see more along these lines in the future as well!

I am fine with cute clothing as long as it is appropriate for Ashes...

So I guess it all depends on the definition of cute in this context. If it means Kawaii Asian bunny ears then no. If it means maid outfits, modern bikinis, or bikini armour then no. In my own definition of cute I struggle to see how cute can fit into Ashes. The dresses above while perfectly acceptable I would not define as cute. So if cute means more elegant feminine clothing then yes. If it means a distinction between male and female armours without creating the "bikini" look then yes.

Pretty sure we all know how female armor gets “distinguished”, sudden cleavage flashing and a too-tight fit. Armor should look basically the same across both male and female character models. Racial changes on armor should be the only significant shift in aesthetics.
