Why does King Graham and Alexander like to wear T-Shirts?

Graham never seemed to care much for royal robes until after KQ7. Alexander had little wardrobe options during his time with Manannan.

When I saw this thread I thought you guys were selling T-shirts or something.

Speaking of which, can AGDI sell T-shirts to raise money based on original artwork from the game? I would purchase a few!

I always found it funny that in KQ5 Alexander is basically wearing Graham's outfit, just with a palette swap and minus the feathered blue cap.

No wonder they chose to get a different costume for him in KQ6. Interesting that there, he's basically wearing a variant of an Elizabethan-style men's doublet. There also exists an early drawing for Valanice's character portrait where she looks a lot like Good Queen Bess. Plus, the KQ6 hint book shows off some very interesting initial sketches for Alex's costume... one even has him in chainmail-and-breastplate armor.

Incidentally, why did AGDI choose to dress Alexander in something other than the outfit he wears in "classic" KQ3 and KQ4?

We thought people might assume all kinds of things about Gwydion and Manannan if we dressed the former in gaudy pink.

Hahah, It's a "tunic" really.

You have to be comfortable, whether or a slave or king, ya know.

I thought purple was an interesting choice for Alexander's shirt, since purple was often a color associated with royalty and the aristocracy due to the high cost of purple ink.
