Oooo pleeease please please please
When you're right, you're right.
Make it so. Please?
This has been suggested ad nausium, ever since the arc was in beta. Problem is, Jay is scared of clipping (although, pointedly, it didn't stop him from releasing over-the-shoulder capes with the Magic pack, which obviously clip with most shoulder pieces).
Again, I'm for these costume bits - especially the loincloth (which, according to BAB's recent post, would kill framerate if several player characters were using multiple cape systems at the same location at a given time, but I could personally care less about others' frame rates ).
Dude, how would those boots clip? They're like the same as the thigh-highs, only pointed, right?
Apart from the clipping issues (real or imagined) I think the other main reason the Devs choose to keep some of these costume items as "NPC only" is in an attempt to make these NPCs unique. I guess the idea is if people had access to all the parts then people would make clones of important characters and they wouldn't stand out as special anymore.
Now personally I'd love to have access to everything in the game for my characters especially these Fashion Victim boots. I'd even be willing to pay for them as a microtransaction in the Booster Pack format. But unfortunately I don't see it happening anytime soon.

I understand keeping NPCs unique, but... a few girls who don't fight, don't have any development, and only appear in one mission? Really?

I'm only ladylike when compared to my sister.

Oh I absolutely agree. These supposedly "special" NPCs are easily among the least important ones I can think of in this entire game. The idea that the Devs need to restrict their unique costume items from us is borderline ridiculous. Besides these girls are "fashion models" which means by definition they are supposed to be showing off costumes that are intended for other people to wear. They -want- us to have those things. |

Sure the Devs ought to keep Statesman's costume restricted. But these NPCs?
The difference between the two are night and day.

Not to mention that the Wedding Pack gave us a bunch of their costume bits already. Sign me up.

In fact just dump in on top of the wedding stuff. ^_^
Bonus extras for those who got it more incentive for those who didn't.
Can we pleeeeeease have the costume parts that the Fashion Victims from Twilight's Son's TF wear? Minus the flowy loincloth skirt, of course, since there's obviously no hope of getting that. The belt and boots in particular are pretty darn sweet, and I maintain that there are not enough tall boot options (just the thigh-highs and the witch boots so far, and the thigh-highs don't even have alternate textures).
