It's more than just removing a flag – they do still need to adjust and check the models. It's still presumably less work than building a new hairstyle from scratch.

Talking of hairstyles, we're finally getting Ardashir's! It's only taken three whole expansion cycles.

And his hairstyle along with the other one aren't ones that really speak to either the male or female fantasy - there are enough ponytails in this game so why they decided to add not one but two in the same patch is a mystery. Meanwhile in Lost Ark:

We have things that are pretty close to most of those hairstyles already.

Maybe I'll buy the Cheongsam out of curiosity.

Maidens attire is worth it just so lads can finally wear short-shorts and leggings instead whatever the crap they did to the Spring Bottoms ugh.
Def buying today so I aint gotta do that tuesday it'll just sit in my inventory til then

When it comes to fitting clothes that were strictly for one gender, it depends.

The bunny outfit for instance required a new model just to create the thing, even if it uses the same textures, it fits men differently compared to female toons, so it uses a different texture. Skirts? Not so much. Male clothing converted to female? Different body type requires a different texture. Pants/gloves/hat/shoes? Not so difficult since it is just adjusting the size of the model. The bunny outfit is a big exception to this

Basically it's 1/3 to 1/2 of the work done on tops and 3/4 for the rest. It means less work done on other things for little else than pandering. It shouldn't be a huge loss, but considering how things are handled wildly between great success and utter failure, well..

Where? Because I don't see any of them on the list of available hairstyles on FFXIV collect. Far too many gender-neutral haircuts that fundamentally do not meet the expectations or fantasy that either gender wants.

I'm still waiting for the Lord/Lady Suikan to be released. Lord's suikan is one of my favorite tops and one of the few things keeping me playing male.

I would wear the Lord Suikan outfit any day of the week.

That being said, I wonder what their line of thinking is when they do select items to be subjected to this... Change.

tbh I think the dev team just picks at random save for what's being asked of the most. There was never a specific mogstation outfit named, so they picked 2 to start with on each side.
