So the solution to criterion savage rewards is... +5 ilvl to your weapon?
is that some kind of sick joke?

Might even be closer to how Moogle tomestones work in terms of when it reopens, like perhaps every couple months? They haven't specified a timeframe yet.

Yeah, it says "After the initial collaboration event has ended, it will be held as a special event at irregular intervals.", which doesn't tell us much about how often it might come back! :)

Yeah that one puzzled me a bit but maybe good for gearing alt jobs?

Better color markers for PvP. Nice.

I assume the intention is that it works better if lots of people are playing at once -- it's not much fun to have a "last person standing" contest with only one or two people.

If it's seasonal, more people will want to participate during the time where it is available.

Since Endwalker everything is 0815, all pants look the same, every style looks the same, just a slightly different texture on it.
The shoes are almost always made for men. Likewise the pants. There is nothing about it that is even slightly feminine.
All the items look like they come from a department store catalog, far too real and usually don't fit into the game.
Can we get some glamor back that fits the game, please. I want to play Final Fantasy and not Second Live in ugly.

I feel like glamour is in a bit of a rut between the insistence on a lot of modern glamours and also that they need to produce one complete set of glamour every time, perhaps combined with thinking "this set should look coherent" is more important than providing something different to previous outfits. The pants and shoes end up far too similar to each other. We'd be better off getting more tops or interesting pieces for building combinations.

I want more fantasy gear and different historical outfits.

That said, we haven't been entirely lacking in feminine outfits. The Salon Server, Shishu ladies' outfit, Yakaku, Martial Artist sets have all had feminine elements or can be used as such. Maybe other sets too, but those come to mind.

Seems to have been a joint agreement between Fall Guys and FFXIV to have each game running their crossover version intermittently. I suspect on our side it will probably be running during the x.x5 patches alongside Moogle tomestones to give players something to do during the content lulls.

In Endwalker we got so far following Sets / Items

Northsea Coat = Unisex
Sophist's Set = Unisex
Gaja Set = Unisex
Omega-M Set
Omega-F Set
Silver Tora Kabuto
Golden Tora Kabuto
Little Lady's Crown
Clown's Set = Unisex
Happiness Set = Unisex
Wayfarer's Set = Unisex
Varsity Set = first Set with a Skirt
Appointed Set = Unisex (more Male)
Street Attire Set = Unisex (to Modern)
Summer Sunset = Female & Male Version
Isle Farmhand's Widebottoms = Unisex
Isle Farmhand's Set = Unisex (to Modern)
Isle Explorer's Set = Unisex
Lawless Enforcer = Male even if it's Unisex
Fat Cat = Unisex
Wake Doctor Set = Male even if it's Unisex
Noir Set = Male even if it's Unisex
Far Northern Set = Unisex
Gaia's Set = Ultra ugly
Yakaku Set = has this ugly top with one arm hanging around like you either lost 1 arm or were too stupid to dress properly
Isle Shepherd's Set = Unisex
Leafman Head
Isle Vacationer's Set = The Only Female Part in this is the Tie-front Shirt, Shirt & Tanga - the rest is Unisex
Salon Server's Set = The Only Female Part in this is the Salon Server's Dress Vest & Salon Server's Skirt - the rest is Unisex
Valentione Emissary's Dress Set = Female set with an ugly clipping Skirt
Valentione Emissary's Set = Unisex
Educand's Set = Unisex with 2 Female Parts - Sailor Top (could be even unisex) and the Sailor Skirt
Tonberry Set = Unisex
Baronial Set = Unisex (more Male)
Island Resort Set = Unisex
Pajama Sets (Plain, Chocobo & Cactuar) = all Unisex
Seigneur's Set = Unisex (more Male)
Shishu Set = Unisex
Phoenix Riser Set = ultra Ugly Unisex
Magitek Set = ultra Ugly Unisex
Iceheart Set = ugly Female Set which we had already in Game for Free
Tactical A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2, C-1, C-2 = Unisex and not a single Female Part in these 6 Sets
Fierce Tyrant's Set = Male
Recreationisle Set = even if it's Unisex the look is full Male
Gleaner's Set = Unisex
Island Leaf
Felicitous Set = Unisex
Minmisle
Martial Artist's Set = Unisex

Most of the Unisex Glamours tend more to Male as to Female Items.

The leaf parasol is nice. That's all I've got.

Isn't the new glamour the Peacelover (was it?) set with bell bottoms? ...it's a little uninspired.

I find paint drying more interesting than anything the game has to offer at the minute, I don't know if it's their approach overall to the game since Endwalker that has turned me off everything completely or if it genuinely is more boring than it's ever been.

Okay, I am far from SE's biggest fan at the moment, but you're not exactly being fair here. Dragging in MSQ/ content rewards items that are always unisex, writing off items clearly directed at women because they're mix and match and dismissing other items simply as "ugly" isn't really an honest assessment.

If there are more male-oriented items than usual, it's only because players have been requesting it for a long time and had previously expressed disappointment with how few items there were in contrast to female glams. They were also yelled at for a long time to make glam items accessible to all genders, which they've clearly been trying to make a point of doing this time around.

That said, a lot of the glams have been boring this patch. They've grown way too modern and look very drab in a FF setting.
