I thought this set was exactly the same for both M and F, but now that I got my gown I noticed there are some differences.

Which is the male and which is the female?
I think that the left one is female. But they are really to small to be sure.
Both look female....
Maybe this is a troll thread to throw us off!
Frontal pic, the right one is the female. Simply because the dress looks more feminine.
If all else fails, look for the bows. SE and their bloody bows... Honestly, do they have to make everything hyper sexualised or hyper cute for females? If I could snip the bows off, I'd really like this ^_^
Bows are cute. I like cute. Leave my pretty bows alone...
...
Put a male lalafell with that gear beside a female lalafell with that same gear. If the gear looks identical on both, hard to tell from the gear which is female.
The pic in the first post clearly shows one male and one female, would you seriously expect that the more feminine look belonged to the male?
"It's true you don't see manydwarflalafell women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken fordwarflalafell men. And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are nodwarflalafell women, and thatdwarfslalafells just spring out of holes in the ground!"
A Highlander father was walking with his son when they come across a lalafell couple.
Son: Dad... how do you know who is the male and who is the female?
Dad: Well son, why don't you go over and ask them yourself.
The kid went over and asked. No idea how the coversation went, but it end with 1 of the lalafell gave the kid a swift kick to the shin and smash a bunch of flowers over his head. Then the other lalafell punch him at the balls. Before they walked away.
The Dad went over to his son, who is mourning on the floor.
Dad: Son, so you found your answer?
Son: Yes, dad.. The second lalafell is female.
Dad: She told you that?
Son: No dad... I got the idea because she punch like a girl.
What were people bit- ...complaining about with these being "different" again on the forums? They look almost the same, just another case of people over reacting I guess... no surprise there.
A bit of that and the other way around. Some people didn't like 'gender locked' looks, some thought both looked the same and thought it was just another copy & paste.
I think this solves both, some changes so they don't look exactly the same, but small enough so no one complains about gender locked looks.
Eh, the two are similar but not the same.
I can tell that the female version is on the right and the male version is on the left simply by the design.
However, there are subtle differences between Lala males and females. ^^
Anyroad, personally, I like the subtle differences in the armor between males and females.... now if they could only fix the weathered blm/smn look... the tutu is hideous on every race and the tail pole on the miqote is disturbing...
My first high ilvl drop (I'm usually in crafted gear, only started buying gear with tomes recently, rarely run dungeons) was Scylla's culottes of healing. I burst out in embarrassed laughter when I saw my female char wearing them after expecting them to look somewhat like their respectable looking icon. They were also the first item I've ever glamoured, which I did immediately <_<
I've also had trouble with my character's breasts threatening to fall out of tops and the like but that's been easier to ignore than the outright underwear several outfits resemble. That may be perfectly suitable for a bikini or lingerie but when a squishy SCH is trying to survive a hit, it shouldn't be their chest the tank is thinking of.
I'm prudish and I know it. I don't pass judgement on how others wish to present themselves, that's their business and I've seen some really creative outfits made out of underwear combined with spring skirts for example. I simply have my own taste and wish many of my choices weren't limited to underwear or frilly pink bows ;P
Avoiding the over-sexualization is one reason I chose to play a Lalafell... that and they're adorable. I couldn't play a Miqo'te as every outfit makes you look like a 'lady of negotiable favour'.
This game isn't too bad, considering if there is a scanty clad outfit that the males can wear it too usually.
There are bikini's out there for women, but there are tops that allow men to go basically shirtless too. Any over-sexualization sort of rests with the players more than the devs I think.
Yes, there is some sexualization in XIV but it's generally even between male and female characters. That said... this still doesn't answer how you can tell what gender lalafell are.
Us Lalafell can tell which sex is which... usually.
