Glamour Lemmings

Public
I know some people are not going to like this but hey, MY blog! And anyway, so few people read my stuff, most won't even NOTICE this rant!


Why does everyone and I mean EVERYONE seem to be soooooo enamored with that 2B glamour? Both here and the forums, it's constant pics of people in it, and honestly, it does NOT look that great on many of them. Sorry people, SOMEONE had to say it!

It's like some sort of odd Loli-Goth mix and NOT a very unique one. It just comes off as rather plain, dull, and lazy. And I am wondering if it is all one piece for some reason because everyone seems to just dye the thing just ONE color. If it IS that way, then so be it, it makes it even MORE glamour restrictive, especially if you would have to end up wearing that RIDICULOUS thing around the eyes.

But hey, to each their own, right? Do what you want with your character. If you all want to be lemmings, give up your uniqueness, and just look like everyone else, then so be it. As for me, no thanks, I want no part of it.

But I am sure it is all just a fad and it will go away in a month or so. I am sooooo hoping. And Aria, NO, your wife FORBIDS you to wear it!!!!

Ha, you WISH honey! ;-)

Like I said before, NO interest in it. WAY too "Anime' for my taste.

Actually, I am surprised at you Ronove, I thought you HATED stuff so 'common' and would go nowhere near a look everyone else was using.

Let people enjoy things, ma'am. What I noticed about you is that you tend to believe that your opinion is greater than everyone else's. Be it about your blog post, chosen race, hairstyle or glam in game. Don't like it? Don't get it. But please stop trashing people who feels differently than you. I've noticed all of these in the few times that I actually drop by to check the Lodestone and I feel like I just have to say something finally. :)

Indigo shirt is common and your last attire the spring dress was so 2.0. which used to be very common. :D

Fashion is subjective.

Yoru Kuro

Phoenix [Light]

Yoko's right: Fashion is subjective.

In my case I will avoid anything that hide the eyes. Guess why :P

That said, the 2B chest piece is nice, I hope to have it (probably for my ninja glam).
I see no value to use the whole set in the same glam though.

Siglinde Skysworn

Sargatanas [Aether]

Lol! Cmon Anna, have you become one of those salty hipsters, who hate everything that is popular? :p If we are going to talk about lemmings, isn't the way you dye everything pink stereotypical!

I don't think I will wear that glam (I do not have it, but I did inspect some people who did) since I think it does not fit Highlander well.

Siglinde Skysworn

Sargatanas [Aether]

Obviously if you dislike goth loli style you will not like it, but I actually think it is pretty well-made. There are even smudge marks on the soles of the boots, it's very detailed.

I think that most people wear the full set because it is tricky to combine with other clothes. Then again I am not the most creative person as far as glam goes. I have worn the same suit of bikini armor, slightly modified, for over half a year now. Lol!

Annabel Ashcroft

Faerie [Aether]

Yoko, yeah, those WERE popular at one time, but I rarely see anyone in a spring dress now, and the shirt is fading fast in terms of people wearing it.

That 2b outfit though is EVERYWHERE! I guess because it's only a week old. Like I said, it will probably go away in like a month.

The point of this blog is why people have to do what everyone else does JUST because it is there. You cannot tell me that all those people LIKE the outfit. I am sure some do, but not all of them. ;-)

Annabel Ashcroft

Faerie [Aether]

Oh silly Sig, actually less than half my outfits are pinkish. It's probably because you always see me in my Spring dress that one thinks I just wear pink all the time.;p

Like I said, I do not know the parts of the outfit, but I see no one trying to combine it with other things.

And I am older than most here. I am allowed to be a grumpy old bat and say "Get off my Lawn!" ;p

Siglinde Skysworn

Sargatanas [Aether]

Well, that is very true that just because everyone is doing something you don't have to follow.

Although, it is also natural that when something new comes out, everyone will try it out for a bit and after a while those who did not like it will switch. After all, that is how you will discover if you enjoy something!

Ysera Ysendra

Brynhildr [Crystal]

As to add more to what I said, I meant to say that some of your posts insinuate that what YOU think is actually how OTHER people think.

"The point of this blog is why people have to do what everyone else does JUST because it is there. You cannot tell me that all those people LIKE the outfit. I am sure some do, but not all of them. ;-) "

How can you prove this? Did you PM everyone who has it and asked them why they're using the outfit? How is this different from new crafted gears/hairstyles?

Ysera Ysendra

Brynhildr [Crystal]

It's no different from your argument on why people play Viera. I gave you tons of possible reason on why people would play as one but you insist that what you think is how they actually think. You even literally tagged this post as 'stupid 2b outfit' and it sounds like you have some other reason on why you're hating on seeing it.

Esper Eidolon

I suspect it will pass in a few weeks. I personally enjoy the pvp gear more. Going to post my ninja stuff later ^^

Bear Ironfist

Faerie [Aether]

I used the leggings. The boots have mud on them and the top is too "I'm 2B!!! ^^" for my tastes. But still reserve the right to tease you.

Annabel Ashcroft

Faerie [Aether]

Tease AWAY Ronove! You would not be Ronove if you didn't! ;-)

And people, I was just really being silly on this. I saw all of this everywhere and felt like commenting. My friends know this is how I am half the time, and the rest....well, hey, it got you posting.

But BE honest, the whole everyone wanting to wear the same outfit thing IS kind of silly. ;-)

And I DO reserve my right to try the dumb thing out if I ever get it! AND it will PROBABLY be PINK! HA, that THAT Helltank!

Lolo Menehune

Siren [Aether]

Just like all those that REALLLLLY want to wear that new parka jacket...NEED IT...HAVE TO HAVE IT. GO GET IT FOR ME!

Shiny new toy syndrome Anna. I'm sure EVEN YOUR exalted Hinney-ness self has suffered from this syndrome. It's New, it's fresh, it's obtainable. Let's show it off, fashion-forward peeps will try to add their flare to it and show it off. It's common, it will always exist. Be it horns on a head that already has horns, fuzzy ears on cat girls and bois, or Thongs on Roes..

Annabel Ashcroft

Faerie [Aether]

Yeah, the crafting stuff has just a weeeeeee bit of a gateway in the form of a few million gil or a VERY rare component. ;p

Actually secret Anna worshiper, not really. ;p

Usually when stuff like that that come out it's usually:

A. I ain't at the end of the MSQ yet to get it.
B. It's not nice enough to care about or looks like crap on me.
C. I can wait, Aria will eventually craft it for me when it is easier.
D. it's TOO much of a pain in the ass hard to acquire to really go for it.

Annabel Ashcroft

Faerie [Aether]

And Alwina, I have been avoiding posting a reply but I guess I should since you made so much of an effort to put your comments.

I simply have to ask, if you really don't like my opinions or my blogs, then WHY do you bother to even READ them?

It's a rather simple thing to ignore me, just don't click on anything I put out, problem solved.

But I am kind of glad you don't. I invite people who disagree with me and offer criticism, the more constructive or thoughtful the better.

Annabel Ashcroft

Faerie [Aether]

Also, I NEVER think my opinions on stuff are ANYONE else's but my OWN, OR think that they SHOULD be.

That is just stupid to think that. Freedom to have an opinion of something for good OR bad is a GOOD thing. Of COURSE not everyone will agree with it, which is why people post comments to that effect.

Hell, I would be worried if everyone DID agree with me and thought the SAME way I did. That is BAD!

Agree to disagree and all that, GIVE me YOUR opinion so I can see another side to the argument

Ysera Ysendra

Brynhildr [Crystal]

It's because everytime I browse to check what's up, 8 out of 10 times you're talking about something that I care about and that I happen to disagree with. I never commented until today and the last time was about Viera. That's only two times. Both of times I feel like I gave valid points that I want to be discussed. The problem though is how you're so convinced that your opinion is the only one that matters. Of course, that maybe not be true.

Annabel Ashcroft

Faerie [Aether]

Finally, I seriously hope no one is ACTUALLY offended by my comments on not liking a particular outfit or fantasy race JUST because they chose it for themselves.

If you are, then I just don't know what to say. It is a silly GAME people. there are WAY more important things to be offended about than your choice of look in a computer game.

Hell, people crack on my look ALL the time believe it or not, my obsession with pink and all that and I am FINE with it, It is NOT REAL, Annabel is NOT me.

Ysera Ysendra

Brynhildr [Crystal]

You've been posting here longer than I have been playing FF14 and it is a public site after all. People would comment on a public post, either to agree or disagree. It's just easier and lighter to comment on stuff that you agree with. I personally do not like disagreeing because I'm a cry baby and will get too sensitive at times. I was just genuinely curious and wanted to put my thoughts into something if I don't feel like my thoughts were represented by anyone.

Ysera Ysendra

Brynhildr [Crystal]

English isn't my first language so reading and thinking in another language is different for me. With that said, maybe it's how I interpret stuff because to me there's a difference between

"I don't like X & Y - I don't understand everyone else that does. If you disagree, you're wrong."

vs

"I don't like X & Y but I can see why people like it. It's just not for me I guess."

and your posts regarding anything aesthetic, to me, sounds like the former and so I wanted to give my side.

Annabel Ashcroft

Faerie [Aether]

Alwina dear, I may be a BIT um....overboard in my posts at times, but I assure you. I am NOT super serious about it.

As I said, I certainly DON'T expect people to have the same opinions I have, though I know some do and have told me such.

I DO think a Lot of the stuff in the game is soooo silly and dumb and I make fun of it or complain in my blogs.

I do know that carries the risk of maybe offending someone, but I just hope they know I am NOT offending THEM, just what is in the game.

Annabel Ashcroft

Faerie [Aether]

Ah, thank you for that, it helps me understand where you are coming from.

What I am writing is not REALLY...hatred for something, more of a intense dislike. Because of the words I use, some of it can maybe be interpreted as hate and I can see that.

Also, I tend to be VERY sarcastic in my writing, which can maybe come off differently to those who English is not their first language.

Just know, I don't REALLY 'hate' anything here, just sometimes NOT like it very much.

Annabel Ashcroft

Faerie [Aether]

Also Alwina, if it is any consolation, I actually LIKE your look in that outfit, even IF I don't like the outfit itself.

Anyone who loves pink as much as I do is ok in MY book. ;-)
