I put the 'fantasy' into Final Fantasy games (happy thing #4)

[thistlechaser]

Most people playing male characters won't wear subligar (armor that looks like panties), even if the stats are better. I proudly wear them, and the women thank me.



I love how I seem to be thrusting my hips out at her... *rolls*

So Happy Thing #4 is men who aren't afraid to run around in panties FFXIV. I played for nearly twelve hours total today, way way way more than I intended. XIV isn't a clone of my beloved XI, but that's actually a good thing (see also: I had fun). XIV is such a nice game -- easy enough not to be frustrating but interesting enough to not at all be boring. Beautiful graphics (I can barely stand to look at WoW now), tons of cutscenes, and the quests so easily feed from one into the next -- it's so hard to stop playing! I swas smiling so much today.

I can never go back to FFXI, but FFXIV is familiar enough that it feels like an acceptable substitution.

I guess I am the polar opposite. I refuse to wear subligaria on any character. And I am always looking for a decent pair of pants.

Come to think of it, "FINAL FANTASY XI - The Quest for Pants" sounds about just right. (The same could be said of FFXIV, if some of the things I've heard are true.)

You're so right about the lack of pants! The starting armor in XIV looks so nice... then every upgrade is just god awful. At one point I (an archer) looked like I was walking around wrapped from neck to toe in a green quilt. That my head was exposed was important, because my green eyepatch was then visible.

Unfortunately 'quilted armor' was totally a thing. Alas but looking badass (hehe subligar) was very rarely a design concern in armor.

Yeah, but I was doing that 'envoy to other nations' quest in it. Seedseer (or whatever her name is, leader of my starting town) was sending me around to all other nations and she couldn't even spot me a decent outfit?

Though maybe she was just thankful I was no longer in the subligar!
