Why are bunny ears not included in that list after over a year of "consideration"?

Bunny ears on male is too sexy, please understand.

Is quite disappointing to not see the ears on the list after a very long thread asking for it.

i think this is the first time gender restrictions have been removed from gear. hope this means SE realized how pointless gender locked gloves are. (and they are not gonna remove gender locked on the pants and chest piece for these sets because i have seen the female set and SE will never remove the gender lock on the female version at least.

I was absolutely ecstatic to see this in the patch notes! It's not everything we've been asking for, but it's a wonderful start, and I'm taking it as a sign that we've been heard, and SE is taking a step in the right direction.

It's only a few items, and not the most hotly requested ones, but altering models to fit the opposite gender must take time and effort, so I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that the plan is to release a few of these fixed items per patch, as the dev cycle allows. It also makes some sense to start with more recently released items, since the assets for them were probably still to-hand as opposed to needing to be dug out of an archive somewhere and dusted off.

Considering that the very same update this set came in featured a unisex mini-skirt and a female-only pair of shorts, I'd really like to hear their reasoning behind which items end up gender-locked. Though I'd rather see my male Miqo'te's behind in those short-shorts XD.

It's good start tho. I'm hoping at 3.3 they can make male wear bunny ears.

I was wondering the same thing when I saw that.. why not take a few extra minutes and just take it off bunny ears too :( it just sits on your head! no resizing required! makes me think they just don't wanna do it..

My Roeglam suddenly feels average. Those ears are a requirement now!

I never understood what the point is in making headgear and gloves have a gender restriction. Shoes/pants and chest gear, I can understand.

Well at least the completely asinine restriction on a pair of gloves has been taken care of.

Thank you for listening to us, S-E! Amazed that the bunny set and the other older items are still outstanding but maybe something special is planned rather than a simple unlock...? :)

Seriously though, thank you.

Nonsense! Sexy fishnets and corsets for everyone! ;w;

A sad day for gendered uniqueness.

Yeah, nothing says unique like a set of boots and gloves similar to other boots and gloves!

Damn you people complaining *shakes fist*

(obviously not being serious)

And everyday without sexy fishnet, corsets, and bunny ears for males is a sad day for gender fluidity and enforces gender norms and constructs.
