Make gender locked items in Mog Station tradeable for their equivalent item

/signed 100% agree to this

It's kind of silly that this isn't a feature already.
I was going to change to Viera but then realised I'd have to buy all the gender-locked gear again so I decided against it.

not to say that it won't in future but anything mogstation i don't think you'll ever see an equivalent gender gear swap for free.

Yuna and Tidus' outfits have no achievement attached to them. You can swap those outfits at your leisure~

I support. While I personally won’t ever have such an issue, it should still be a feature in game for others that changes gender.

This is one of the reasons ( other then some of them having crazy asking price ) that i have never bought any outfits from the mog station, you change your character from male to female or other way around > many of those outfits just became a waste of money.

Can you trade those? I can't find it in the Calamity Salvager. It would certainly be really strange to have those ones but not the rest.

But they DID get our money. Twice. Once for the gear, and once for a gender change. Why shouldn't the outfits (such as songbird) that cannot be worn by the other gender be swapped for the gender-alternative?

I would support a direct exchange for those items which have a direct male/female equivalent on the Mogstation. Its not like they can be traded and switching genders should enable a direct switch but I doubt they'l do it even though it is allowed for other in game/event items.

Though obviously having the option to swap them if needed is also valuable - just not encountered "day-to-day" so much.

I also suspect it's for the purpose of padding out the list of items crafters have to make.

Simple enough fix for that. You can either set up the icon to reflect the gendered appearance, or use a split icon that shows both.

Part of the reason why I think I'll /never/ switch the gender of my character, because I've collected gear for one gender already and don't want to bother losing it as an option. Funnily most of it I don't even intend to wear, just the thought of not being able to use it anymore is enough to kill the idea for me anyways though lol.

Definitely I think all gear that has a counterpart should be convert-able somewhere, perhaps as a new both crafter and NPC feature (like how materia/repair works). Mogshop related items might be messy though, perhaps their data shows very few buy both genders (in which case allowing this change for even that is just more good faith points/value and not a huge loss). If many people buy both then I doubt they'll voluntarily give it up.

Maybe for the mogshop seasonal sold type items you can convert them if you have the achievement related to the seasonal event (and I've always thought when that season comes by they should sell bundles of the event, so perhaps this new bundle can include the achievement)
