I get anime has set some aesthetics and behavioral standards for some kind of people, but it's so unpleasant or even disgusting for the rest of us... 😕 So this is what you want instead?

Steven was a big L2 player, but we still don't know his feelings about thongs and bikini bottoms in in AoC. I'm personally hoping it won't be in, as it subtracts from immersion, for yours truly.

We do indeed know his feelings on that front, and I believe I shared a helpful wiki link that mentions it at the top in a previous month's Q&A wrap-up for you! To OP's question, while we've previously addressed that your helmet would be able to be toggled, I don't believe we've specifically mentioned whether you'd be able to toggle the other slots, either regularly or through the use of cosmetics to "hide" your existing gear. I might recommend sharing this in an upcoming Q&A thread so we can dive in further!

I'm sorry if you find it disgusting that I would want to hide what I consider to be terrible looking glowing platmail with a tattooed chest skin or even a rusty half chainmail graphic. But some more revealing options are obviously extremely popular in games of this genre. There are only 2 sides to this argument that I've ever seen once it's boiled down. There are those of us who want to look the way we envision our alter selves to be. And those of us who say, no you can't look like that because I don't want to see it, for whatever reason. Be it immersion, faith, bigotry, what have you. My side has never demanded you wear a skimpy outfit, or asked for a toggle to turn off your head to toe plate graphic because we want to see more skin. We just want the freedom to look the way we want to, in our fantasy experience. Personally I don't like particle effects and overly ornate gear in video games. I do however like to see a little skin. The dark elf pictured above pretty much exactly hits my wifes hopes for what her avatar can look like in a game. My ideal is my sig pic. Both can coexist in a western styled mmo. If the puritans don't have full control that is. I was hoping that since Steven is from Lineage that was the direction the art would go, but I've seen little evidence to that effect yet, and that's disappointing.

While they are maybe not exactly what you are looking for, these are two cosmetics for this game that already exist that come close. Again, not exactly what you are after, however, the reason I am pointing them out is because so far we have seen a very small fraction of the looks that will be available by launch, and even at that point they will be constantly adding new cosmetics to the game. So, while it may be that you can't hide a piece of armor, you are likely to be able to find a look that works reasonably well for you.

Sadly, that specific look is no longer available, but that does mean that you know there will be something else similar to it eventually.
