    Thankfully Final Fantasy XIV does a good job averting that. It's available, but you have to glamour it yourself.
    And there are himbo options too :yes:

    I like the sexy female warrior look for myself, but that is for cosplay. One of the reasons I always loved Linda Hamilton in the terminator series was she went female soldier and not sexy warrior even though she would have pulled off sexy in T2. I have worn sexy female battle stuff, and it feels powerful, but I have also worn male chain and plate and you are not taking hits in a metal bikini, and you are not wearing a bathing suit and thigh highs through the fucking woods without ripping up your pretty little flesh.

    I just know too much about it and it pisses me off. You cannot wear clothing made for women to do physical labor. Even IRL you have to shop in the mens section, or go with real military clothing because the quality of women's clothing is all shit. OK, maybe old school dresses can stand up to some abuse because I have a couple made old style with heavier fabrics, but frills do not last long on the battlefield, and exposed skin is not great when dealing with the woods or outdoor work. That is not even talking about fighting and wrestling. Also, I wouldn't want to be in a skin tight women's bathing suit and thigh high leggings and get hit with fire. Fire on thick men's clothing you might have a chance to get out, but women's clothing is going to melt to your fucking skin.

    I admit it, you’ve lost me. Damn kids …. What do you mean by “tank” or “dps”? Are those different kinds of shoes?

    Multiplayer video game terms. When running in a group, healer heals (you misspelt "heels" so Bick made a joke).

    Tank has great damage resistance and is there to keep the boss enemy's attention. DPS (damage per second) puts out a shitload of firepower but can't take many hits, hence the need for the tank. Healer's job is to keep the tank alive but a good tank will have enough self-heals/protections he allows the healer to also keep an eye on the rest of the team and be ready if they take hits.

    G-d dammit.

    Ok. I don't have a lot of experience in online games and way back when I played RPGs with other real people, they didn't use that term. So, thanks for the explanation.

    DPS = damage per second. huh. Not knowing that is probably why is always choose the wrong weapon and wrong armor.

    Thanks for the explanation.
