I mean, this is how the trend has been for the last couple years then. I honestly don't remember ever being around when NPC attire was separated and not just one whole piece (been here since 2020).

And like always, undyeable
I wanted her hairstyle - I'd buy it if it came with her hair
tbh im really disapointed in this aswell. I play a male character and ive been waiting for this outfit for OVER a year.. and seeing that i cant buy it because my character isnt a woman.. its very insulting and makes me wonder why every step forward they take, they take more steps back with this stuff LAY-ZE
This has really gotta be it. Because older NPC outfits didn't actually have unique parts (like Yda's and the gang before HW) with the exception of Minfilia and Minfilia's outfit is a single piece. I was legitimately surprised when the gang's future outfits weren't single pieces - or that less central NPC outfits weren't. Crossover event NPCs I don't include in this, since their events are made in mind with what gear will be available (and always massively genderlocked with the exception of XV's).
I'm surprised - and sad - we didn't get her hair but also because of that I think that may be why it's a bit cheaper (I fully expected this to be like, 18 instead of 12).
I like the side character outfits like Edda, Omega-F/M, dead Minfilia, Aymeric and now Gaia's attire. It would feel weird to wear another scion's gear. The only thing I dislike is how the legs have this mesh part that doesn't match my skin color.
