Hey gang and hopefully the Devs too,
I have been playing SoT, pretty faithfully for 5 years and for 4 of them, I have been asking for Japanese cosmetics. As someone who has Japanese heritage and family in Japan, it is kind of saddening that myself, some of my family and friends that do play do not feel like we fit in with our desires and wants. Sure, there is the "Ashen Winds" sets, but I ask you to hold your comments as that is more Chinese and Korean. The Wokou were a huge part of pirate history and a thorn in the side of the Spanish. Even a 3rd of Ching Shi's fleet were Japanese. What really bummed me out and some of my friends about the Cherry Blossom set was... why is there a bonsai attached to the hilt of the sword? Are we just a bunch of Mr. Miyagi? I am apart of the Creative Crew and an Xbox Live Ambassador, part of the reason I keep pushing for this is, in all honesty a community agenda, but also because parts of my roles as an Ambassador is to make people feel welcome. So, I am advocating - again - with this idea. I will itemize what I feel would be acceptable and or appreciated... I ask, please be patient with me...
-Kimono / Yukata top - Maybe in Blues or Reds maybe with the cherry blossom on the back like on the sails to match (If you know Asians we like things to match or even be symmetrical) and they would tuck inside of my next want (Hakama)
-Hakama trousers tucked into Kyahan Leg Wraps
-Kyahan Leg Wraps
-Fundoshi
-Kasa Bamboo Hat
-Geta sandals
-Japanese Tattoos with maybe the Splash tails acting like koi combined with the Ashen Dragons with the black bars and wind fans (A lot of Japanese criminals were marked with tattoos - many of which were pirates/wokou) that would cover most of the back, ride along the front of the torso along the chest and ribs and go down to the elbows from the arms and goes down the backs of the legs and ends at the knees.
-Degraded Samurai armor (maybe in 2 colors) Red with black lacing / Black with red lacing
-Katana cutlass cosmetic
-Bamboo drinking mug
-Bamboo bucket
I appreciate everyone who reads this. We do not wish for the quote "weeb" like aesthetics. We want to look like other pirates but of a Japanese nature. In my profile picture for Xbox Live is armor I built myself and even competed in. I have Japanese tattoo artwork all over me (I can't Onsen with family haha :( ) and sometimes stream in my traditional Japanese clothing to bring awareness in Sea of Thieves that we are apart of the wonderful world that is the Sea of Thieves.
Thank you again for reading and hearing me out. Thank you for such a great game. At least, I am heard. Thank you!
