It's a fictional setting and the development team should ultimately be at liberty to decide who can wear what. Unfortunately in the present day many companies feel obligated to make concessions on that particular front due to bad publicity being weaponised as an effective blackmail tool. It's all rather ironic, the more 'choice' we're told we have in a game, the less we actually have for fear of not offending anybody.

08-29-2019, 04:08 AMLaurontNo, he didn't. He said it was a sensitive topic and that they would like to remove some "gender lock" restrictions on certain apparel, which can result in some people being happy about it and others dissatisfied.Quote:

08-29-2019, 04:21 AMShougunIf they had infinite resources I'd ask for those bikini glamours to be removed off my screen lol (just mine, local side). The glamour system for the most part has been pretty cool, lots of awesome outfits and such (and would love to see a log just so I can fill it out :3), but the really skimpy gear (specifically seasonal/water wear) can get into my head space when it comes to the immersive moments. "Deep deep lore moment, intense serious fight against a well structured boss in a beautiful environment, meanwhile in the background is a pig head in a bikini" XD. It's not rage inducing but not my favorite either hehe.Quote:

Though if they were like "you can have either ungendered races and more ungendered gear or instanced personal zone housing / personal airships.." I'd be like YOLO see you later guys, I'm getting on my airship and not looking back! lol.
Fortunately I don't have to make those decisions, that's for them to annoy us with their choice of passions and resources hahaha <3.
Of course I'd be happy for races to be unlocked, just because I think it'll allow more visual diversity and make some people happy but I just hope it wont cut into other things either. I can't imagine the pressure of being the person who decides where the money goes to lol. "Congratulations you're now director/producer, we've automatically prescribed you an anti-anxiety medication" xD.
Basically I agree on a personal note (I can see others liking it, of course, which is good), but just don't tell me what it cost if it cost anything else :p. "You were going to get some awesome Golbez/Ex-death armor for the players but instead we spent time making male wedding dresses". Me: "why did you tell me that.. /tableflip" -
08-29-2019, 04:33 AMLacanNo, he literally said in an interview that they're planning on making the wedding attire open to both genders. It was in that same article where he talked about seeing a trans girl getting bullied at a school. :v Like, it wasn't a maybe, it was a plan.Quote:

Instead of waisting time giving men female clothes how bout we take that effort to the mogstation and give male characters more glam to buy, the chicks get a lot more then we do and I don't want thier hand me downs, I want actual male outfits, not outfits made for females that men can wear.

08-29-2019, 04:47 AMLacanHe outright says they're going to do it though, just a few paragraphs down...Quote:

Once we officially release this, you won’t have gender restrictions. If you both wanted to wear a dress, that’s perfectly fine. If you want to both wear the tuxedo, that would also be fine...That’s not available in game yet, but we have done the preparations for it.

I think it's a great idea that they are doing this. I could easily work the veil into a healer glamour for the men but I don't know what I'd do for the dress. I'm sure others will have more use for it though. I would probably use the suit on my female character for a machinist glamour since I want to try that class out at some point before the NieR raids.

I'm glad dem big dudes are finally gonna be able to wear dresses.
Y'ALL NEED TO COVER UP
All day, every day, these roegabros and brogars half naked. If they're not naked from the top, they're naked from the bottom. Sometimes, it's everything. It's time we went back to our traditional values and the wedding dress is gonna be the perfect skin covering piece of fabric these big guys clearly need.
