Those prices are not ridiculous. I've got both sets and I've just been grinding GATEs.

I'm not done yet But I'm working on drawing the female set on my male character:

Oh it looks like it was made for him. Such a shame he can't wear the actual thing really. D:
Honestly, the dress would probably fit his figure more nicely than my lala over here, lol. Judging by the female lala's screenshot at least. We have weird anatomies when it comes to anything that shows skin, particularly in the belly region. ^__^;
I think it's actually more flattering than some other belly revealing clothes on Lala (like the Tafetta shawl) I think that looks better on male Lala ~_~ And I'm looking forward to it because I REALLY would like the Flames Skirt, but Adders forever!
If they do worry about it being "too feminine" on guys they could tone done the ornamentation, but really, I don't see any reason why they can be like "Oh, this is male only, naw, girls can wear it too and yeah this other one? Only girls can wear." I don't care if they change the design to be less feminine, but I hate that there are so many clothes that guys are restricted from wearing anything remotely like it.
Sighs.... Why am I not surprised yet still upset?
Finally we get a set that is very appealing for both male and female but the exclusivity is once again flushed down the drain as female get to wear the male version again because female characters are clearly favored by the devs... Seriously, its really annoying... Make BOTH sets exclusive or make them both wearable by the other gender ffs... It's as if they take very seriously the players who want their female character to be able to wear male sets while they clearly mock the idea of doing the same for the male characters for the players who want it. The game already has crossdressing in its story (Hildibrand) so why do they think players cannot enjoy a good laugh or serious crossdressing with their own characters?
WHHHHYYY tease me so, need my blu like yesterday :(
