The big criticism of WoW boobplate is mostly around the items which appear normal on male characters but are thigh-highs or metal bras on female ones - and/or NPCs showing skin when it really isn’t appropriate [especially Sylvanas, what the hell was up with that she’s dead]
FF14 almost certainly does do this at some point, but it’s not as endemic as WoW’s can be
nothing wrong with a bit of fan service in context but being targeted only at women for the benefit of a presumed straight male audience turns it from harmless into The Bad Zone
I’ll happily admit at my delight if WoW were to FF its mog options and it ended up driving away all the angry Gamers who will NOT abide a lad in a fancy gown.
Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance (1) got ported to Steam and it’s £30.
Game’s two decades old guys. Knock £20 off that pricetag and it might be reasonable, but your only advantage over ‘literally free via emulator’ is Steam convenience. That ain’t worth £30.
Aside from being dyed different colours, these two are the exact same set (level 90 dancer artifact armour), but they look very different on my main and my alt!
I don’t hate either set but I would much like to choose.
On the one hand that’s a shame they’re the same set and look different, but on the other hand that does look like a functional dancer outfit rather than full Black Mageweave
That is entirely true. I guess I just don’t like the trend to have big chunks of your set missing when equipped on a female character, even if the end result is something you could still reasonably wear.
Let me keep the vest if I want to!
There’s also sets that are way more egregious than that, ones where there’s basically no resemblance between the two variants. Look up the Neo-Ishgardian sets for an example.
