Sadly too late for the event, however not too late to make an exchange system. The gear won't be going anywhere, would be rather easy to set up an exchange.Quote:

I hope there's a way to exchange...even if it's only a one-time exchange. I was a miqo'te female during the event, but decided to go back to being a male lalafell afterwords, and for some reason, I was assuming that I'd be able to repeat the quests (Silly me). After smacking myself in the forehead, I was quite sad to hear there doesn't appear to be a way to exchange my female gear for male gear...which saddens me...it means poor Mini will never have that awesome Jacket.
*sigh* But there's plenty of other cool gear in the game, I suppose. He's just going to have to live with the fact that he's a perverted little lalafell that keeps women's clothing in his inn room. -

Can somebody remind me why women can't wear a grey trenchcoat again?!
I missed the memo on that. Also the fact that snow is male does not make everything he's wearing 100% more masculine until the end of time. -

[A lot of development time does into these, it'd take a lot more to adjust and recreate parts of the model for male/females] -

I supprt the OP.

Just dropping in to say the quest is not repeatable.
So if you've changed race, and completed the quest during the last Lightning event you will not be able to acquire the other genders equipment set.
Seasonal and one-time events like this show very distinctly that Square was not planning for people to change gender - they're likely forestalling the release of Fantasia potions on the Mog Station until they have a contingency for addressing these issues.
Bummer OP! -

The stuff you people whine about is incredible. Stick to one gender, enjoy the game and the gear you get for it. The devs shouldn't have to cater to you filp floppers every time a new event comes out and you feel the need to switch your character all around to wear gear that doesn't even matter.

That is what we call an unintentional oversight - it's nothing world shattering but it is frustrating for a user. A frustrated user invariably will lodge complaints in hopes that the oversight is rectified and hopefully not repeated in the future.
Don't be a dick.
