Happy to be of service. :)

I agree that some of the character class outfits were really pretty to look at. Whenever I play X-2, I keep the sphere change animations on so that I can watch them.

but if they'd given an option to get Baralai, Nooj or Gippal shirtless and beefcake-y, I would have gone for that, too.

You'll get no argument from me on that point! ;)
