I mean, considering how much they’ve been going on with the unisex things and trying to be more about “gender equality” you’d think that would include having some male oriented glams for healers no? Or does that not count?

Glasses. GLASSES WITH A HAT.

They must have put it in the earrings slot.

They're mot as pretty as the elegant rimless glasses tbh, but I'll frikin take it, I've been wanting to wear glasses with some hats/horns since forever! Hopefully more designs are added in the future

I admittedly was lowkey hoping, but not expecting, that part of the chest would get adjusted for male characters to expose even more of their torso [the Hroth in the previous...preview of that set made it look like his whole pec was out lol] . But nah /sigh

Either way, I guess what makes it look "feminine" would be that it kept its ...'corset bra' outline, for lack of a better word - the chest has a soft V shape, rather than a U, so it implies there's meant to be boobies there, even if the wearer has none.

I have a snarky remark for this comment, but it will get me banned from the forums.................
Instead, I will just say "I love you all."

If there was gender equality we'd have a Tifa outfit, Lunafreya, Terra, Ashe, Rinoa, etc, to match the male main character outfits we have

A new system has been added allowing players to dye artifact gear after progressing to a certain point in role quests and the main scenario.

To me, that sounds like it could apply to Shadowbringers AF sets and up. But one thing to keep in mind is Memoria Misera Ex. They might want to keep those rewards in there to keep people running the content. Same with Eureka Anemos. They did say, however, that the base AF weapons from Shadowbringers (Weathered Lionheart, Weathered Fail-Not, etc) will be dyeable in Endwalker, so we might get those at least without having to run MM.

That is totally fair. I had assumed it to be retroactive by default since I was thinking more about ARR and HW.

While it is upsetting that those aren’t added, they’re at least somewhat compensated with the 14 npc female gear right? I think mogstation has a lot of that. Edda,3 yshtola glams,Yda glam,Ryne etc etc.

HP and damage, values used in battle calculations have been downscaled


Please note, however, that these changes will have little to no effect on game balance.


Epic Echo status effect increases player attributes in order to maintain a level of difficulty similar to that experienced before the introduction of downscaling. The strength of this effect varies by duty level.




Does the second line not mean that they didn't balance content? That they are just throwing echo around instead of actually balancing content? And while the game isn't broken(hopefully), it is lazy design. Let's not do it right we will just throw an echo on anything that is broken.

Law's Order Corselet is a nice Healer Glam for male characters and not just females. Good luck dying it though. No way am I grinding that all out.

An issue I had with Memoria was that the reward for just dying AF gear wasn't enough based on what it was. I was hoping for some sick Garlean Armor like Varis was wearing and that was a huge letdown to me. Especially with how dirty they did Varis as a character.

Even if he essentially is an Expy of Gestahl from FFVI.

I agree, this seems like a really stupid idea and very counter intuitive.

If it was a toggle switch within search... sure, I can see people wanting that.

But having to switch through 20 jobs to see what you can queue for seems extremely asinine and will slow down PFs filling

Just like aymeric, thancred, urianger, Cid, alphinaud, papalymo, etc, etc.

Don't act like they don't have an equal amount of male npcs on there too.
