I especially like how female armour is actual armour in most cases. Unlike most other MMORPGs where female "armour" is a metal bikini with glowing spiked shoulderpads that shoot lava or something. I absolutely hate that kind of stuff.
(Dragoon relic armour being an exception for all counts. They should have kept the XI style.)
Tell me about it! I pretty much avoid games where practical armor on a dude turns into a bikini on my female toon. In FFXIV, I love that the skimpy armor on the girls is also the skimpy armor on the boys, for the most part. Equality!
