Plus, what a Gladiator might wear into combat isn't going to be the same as what an actual soldier/warrior would wear. Â Gladiatorial games, by nature, are far more about the pagentry than about what a warrior would actually wear into combat were he free to choose.
I don't see what's so controversial about a tribal character not wearing a huge soldier armour, when it's been done a million times. The last thing I want is my Miqo'te character to look like some sort of civilized Knight, and I believe her tribal roots are well reflected in her Ul'dahn armour choice. If possible, I would like her to keep wearing that armour without other players trying to imply that only perverts use it, or that the armour makes no sense. I don't even see sexual appeal in FFXIV characters, so go figure how troubled I am to see my character's belly (^^;
(Besides, the armour is very cute and deserves to be used *nods nods*).
I never said that it was controversial. Â You brought up Sparticus, and I was simply pointing out that what you see on TV and what was actually...well...accurate to the time period..is often different. I also never said that you were a pervert, or even implied that you might be. Â I'm told that you feel that I was attacking your choice of outfit, and I wasn't doing that. Â I'm still half asleep (yes, I know it's almost 3pm but I was up until 6am so...), so I'm just kinda not really getting what the deal is. Â Gonna amble away.
