Yeah I don't have my hopes up that the swim bottoms won't be gender restricted. I know they said they're not, but I'll bet a million gil the icon shows the male version while projecting different on females. Like how most swim wear seem to be ever since we moved from that first set.

Agreed. They look good and I'll certainly be looking to make use of them, but now mages have two sets of these and the other jobs are still lacking them. I would love to get something like these in the glamour sets, and not another pair of generic wrist-length gloves that I'm never going to use.

(At absolute least, more designs for fingerless gloves and not full gloves, please!)

The likely-island sets won't be gender locked. Just like the island sets before them.

Just because both genders can wear them doesn't mean what they show once equipped can't be different. I mean we are dealing with swim wear. A clothing style that has a long history of looking one way via their icons only to behave the same way the hempen pantallettes tend to be. Or the Neo Ishgardian set.

Guys can literally wear the booty shorts from the original island sets and gals can wear the longer shorts from the original island sets, though. If they're staying with that because it makes their players happy, then gals will be able to wear the board shorts and guys can wear the bikini bottoms. It was said in the live letter itself last night, straight from the XIV discord translation irt the treasure map glam: Y "Just like the glam we showed earlier, these are not gender locked"

Prior to that, they showed the PvP Season 3 rewards (which looks the same on anyone equipping them anyway) and before that was the likely-island sets. I have no reason to believe, especially when they said the prior island sets were not gender locked, that these will be one set but changed for everyone. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, but everything points to "it's not genderlocked, wear your long shorts if you want" right now.

Which is what I hope happens. That you're not wrong and that everyone gets to wear whatever tops and bottoms they want fron this new set. Yet I think there's still a lot of doubt if not bitterness since we just had a similar set come out that had a different projection depending on gender. With the swim outfit from Moonfire Faire. The shorts might not be as long or be the thing that has the pattern on it this time, but a lot of people wanted to be able to wear the other gender's look. And in that picture we have the men having an open top with a necklace and some board shorts. Just like back then. Where we also have the women's outfit being the open shirt with a bikini top and bottoms without the necklace. Which again is how it was back during the summer. I think some of us are just trying to not to hype up our expectations of a glamor piece even when we hear not gender locked. As there's very few times where the devs have gone and made something be akin to the modern school uniforms. And not have not gender locked only mean that everyone can wear it, but just like almost every whm shorts or pants end up not looking like shorts or pants on female characters.

The complaint is even more valid because we have Reaper now and most of heavy looking sets just do not work well with that class...

After seeing this I badly want to change my god to Halone.

Given that we have five of the gods appearing in this tier, it makes me wonder if perhaps there's a 13th god who was lost to time and memory that's going to be revealed in the last tier.

It would also technically give us a total of 14 gods if you choose to count Nald and Thal as separate entities.

The tops will be genderlocked for sure as it makes no sense for a male to wear a bikini top and women cant have a open shirt (even though some people would love that >_>). We also have tons of beach shoes and sandals so even if they are genderlocked it makes no difference as we already have some. The panties? I guess if males want to wear women’s panties then they will probably have the option.

I've had a similar thought. It's just that the monkey looks sus after seeing the tail end of the first chapter. ;)

if they get the bottoms, they may as well have the tops..,<I mean.., the bunny golden saucer top is close enough to what it's supposed to be. and at that point it's close enough to a cropped shirt which most end up using the racial or glamour armors for anyways. which can be smaller.>

if this game had a different rating..,
<either way, I hope the next FFMMO in the decade after the next. adds the ability to adjust clothing. aka Open Coat, button halfway, etc etc. or other ideas. like rolled sleeves and etc. but again, irrelevant to this topic>

but tbh with how fast eitherys is developing.
I doubt many are caring sooner or later what is worn and isnt.<well, maybe the locals will> emperor or not

every brand new hair introduced in Endwalker has been usable for viera and hroth on introduction, except Lyse's hair bc female hrothgar are a myth and will not have concept art until 9.45

People don't really ask for them to be benched forever you know...

Do you spend all your waking hours with you friends, and only them? Even with best friends it will boring.

Having new randoms are very much adventurer thing. How are we supposed to get attached with new characters if they aren't allowed to become core members of our party for more than a patch?

6.1-6.5 is basically the filler msq and it should've been the perfect time to be with new characters. Then in 7.0 we can have our heartfelt reunion with the Scions.

I suppose that is true. Let's hope we get ears on release then :p

It may be filler, but I'm going into the Thirteenth to find Vrtra's sister. I rather ask people I can count on to help me as opposed to random party made up of Khloe, Curious Gorge, Brayflox, and that creepy lalafell that stalks Nashu.

Curious Gorge and Dorgono would be great companions to have, what do you mean... :(

The only thing I can count on y’shtola for is “dying” and miraculously getting better yet again. The other muppets aren’t that much better - urianger’s liable to stab my dude in the back to add another couple of hours to the story, red and blue alpharius need shoved in a locker and left in old sharlayan and I guess estinien is ok. The only competent scions are tataru and krile, both of which are non combatants and too scary to bring along.

You mean telling me stuff that either I already know or will find out in another, roundabout way? She's exposition, nothing more.

Name the one thing Y'shtola was good for, that no other character could replicate, that we would not have come up with an explanation for otherwise (bonus points if the explanation actually mattered for the endgoal anyway and wasn't just fluff to frame the event), and she didn't have to die for.

Y'shtola's really only there because she's one of our two resident magical experts, so she's there only out of necessity...and because she wants to find a way to return to the First because she wants to be with Runar.

NO NO NO NO SHE HAS TO BE WITH MEEEEE, THE BORING HONKY MIDDY WITH NO PERSONALITY PLEASE
just the way people continue to hc Yshtola's love interest is not Runar lmao.
Reminder that your Wol WILL NEVER hoist her and spin her around in their big muscly arms or offer her a beautiful flower in any cutscene.

>> Runar deserves better. My bar isn't that low. We can get other magical users at this point who are just as if not probably more skilled than she is. Hell... we become that mage.

Like, I'll say she's useful when she actually AoEs the mob pulls down in Trust fights.

You don't understand, if she returns to Runar, she can be written off and won't pop up anymore, since we can whittle down our magical expert to 1. :p

Gosh if they ever make another flirty scene with her like the one in

Shadowbringers where she says she’ll take us over her knee for a butt slap basically

I might not be able to unclench my buttcheeks a second time.
