Krile's outfit

Basically, there's not many outfits for male characters this time around because Crystal Exarch's is nothing to write home about and both Thancred and Urianger use job gear, if modified a tad bit. Nice.

They release Krile's outfit and it's genderlocked. I mean I know this is the norm for npc sets being genderlocked to only the npc's own gender but still I wanna dress like Krile but don't dress like female characters maybe I'll buy it for my retainer... but is it worth it?

Maybe... just maybe.

I won't judge. I got the maidens outfit to create an Alice-look-alike of retainer for my garden :| Until now I never used anything from the set for a glamour outfit myself...

If I remember correctly, the NPC outfits are released by player demand and will always be locked to the sex of the original character. They don't craft those special outfits for anything but the model they're intended for. Hien's outfit I remember having a high demand to be made gender neutral but was denied.

The norm for npc outfits generally goes:
Is locked to the npc sex
Is not dyeable

Early on, they were a singular item, then released in pieces with the hairstyle for the heavensward sets. I actually thought that the hairstyles coming with the outfits were pretty cool. Aymerics hairstyle can be used by female characters despite the outfit itself being male only.

Kriles outfit having its hair tied to the hood is weird. It suggests that they never designed her without the hood on though I swore we saw it come off before. Why not have it be a separate hairstyle you equip at the aesthetician like they've done in the past? Is it because Hrothgar and Viera can't use them? It's dyeable which is cool but still feels like an odd decision.

I don't think there was ever a demand for the torn Hildebrand outfit

I'm pretty sure there was considering it's there. Hildabrand is pretty popular and his blown up look is pretty iconic. I wish there was a female equivalent but there's not.

Did people really expect anything but? There is not a single scion outfit that isn't on top of being undyable. That's how it is, all the time.

That would just be the Manderville set you get from completing ARR's. The outfit Nashu wears. Unless you meant specifically the blown up version, to which would be neat if we got a 5.0 Hildi in which Nashu becomes a mess.
