RE: Roleplay outfits? - Rosekitten - 11-03-2013
Relevant to the idea of this thread (and cause I didn't think I needed to make a new thread)...
Myself and a few FC mates were talking on AF warrior armor in the fact the main npc you speak with talks of his armor being a copy of the legendary armor. This being said we also spoke of a few other AF armors that are crafted upon certain quests/story or are given to the player. This excluding of course the Dragoon armor as the story behind that is there is only suppose to be one Azure Dragoon at a time. But I've not seen this limitation in other classes/jobs (unless its a class/job I have not yet gotten to 50 so I've no idea on half of them if they are limited lore wise).
So my question is.. would it be safe for my FC mate to rp in the warrior AF gear or most of the other AF gear sets for that matter as a rp outfit?
Also I brought up a thought on AF +1 gear.. as these sets seem to have no lore behind them, are they safe to use or is that sorta frowned upon? I thought somewhere I read that using AF sets in RP was sorta looked down on...
My other thought while I am typing this out is what thoughts are there are drop/bought armor. I know my character is a smith ic'ly and I run around in armor I can claim to have crafted myself (actually the current set I use is one I crafted myself so). So what I'm asking here is are there rules on green/pink drops or bought gear that has no real lore tied to them?Â
I could be over thinking all of this but I like knowing these things before I mistakenly step on anyone's toes (also to help inform my FC mates).

It's just clothing. If someone gives you crap about using an AF set or whatever as your RP gear, ignore them. We can't possibly work within the "chosen one" situation that is the bulk of an MMO's storyline.

Welcome to Fantasy as a genre.
Rule #1: The less coverage it gives, the more protection it confers.

For the record, all the crafting/gathering AF have pants for females.. XD

There is also actually more than one or two outfits for men which tend towards the slightly more salacious side of design. Not that it has anything on the long running history of 'boob plate' objectifying women, but it's a nice change of pace.
I, for one, welcome the impending age of objecting men to plate thongs.

Subligar isn't good enough for you?

Currently there is no "preview equipment" option in game, making looking for RP gear rather difficult imho. I was curious if anyone knew of any websites up that could act as a "preview" page..or any site that has a few screen shots of outfits with equipment names? Any help is appreciated thanks!
Once you figure out what to wear, you can come to me for dyes. I make them all the time and just give them away for free to RPers. Colors make a big difference.
