Why do Male options still seem to be less desirable?

So with two recent things that have occurred I figured I'd ask this. Once the Benchmark was released, people took note that Hrothgar cteation wasn't nearly as "involved" as Viera. And with the latest magstation school attire, the Male version loses its pattern/texture. I will say that unlike the female version, the bottom portion does dye, but what's the point of the texture then in the first place. SE has been doing good lately with their equal handling of male and female exclusive items, but does anyone else feel that they seem to have fallen backwards a bit as of late?

Its quite sad honestly. Hrothgar was looking good too until we found out all the limitations compared to Viera. I know it will get better later down the line but at this point I would rather them put in male Viera. At least they would have more customization than Hrothgar does now.

The cynic in me wants to say money dear boy.

I'm not saying they will, but maybe the benchmark was rushed and they just didn't have all the options available
so there's still -some- hope.

I hope that later down the line they can give us male viera and female hrotgar and that their customization isn't as limited. I'm quite sure male viera will look good since it's guaranteed to make them a ton of money and they'll put the efort, but I can't help but worry for female hrotgar after seeing the males

This thread isnt about male viera friend, not sure why you are tossing all that in.

On topic, im fairly certain the benchmark was rushed and hrothgar options was limited here. I say that until we hear more about it, we should look at it as such. Also, was fairly certain there was mention of a wolf like head, wonder what happend to that.

I was surprised by new attire. Seriously do not see any reason to remove all prints when it's dyed (except zori according to dye preview). I wonder if it can be adressed and fixed? Because... eh. Male characters are already quite often behind in terms of glamour, and now this.

As for Hrothgars, we still need to see how Aestethycan will work for them. I still have my negative doubts about their haircuts attached to faces but hope they can change them with Gils after all. Then maybe they will also recieve at least optional haircuts (Mog, PvP, Events and other activities), otherwise I don't know what to even think about it.

I like to believe this too, but at the same time, if this was the case they would [-should-] have addressed it from the beginning.

This thread is about male options being more limited, and I can toss that wherver I want friend

I'd like to think the benchmark was rushed - or rather, not completed due to time crunch. However, with the options Hrothgar has I wouldn't be surprised if their hair was sadly tied to their head - barring the paid versions. At the same time, they're not really under any obligation to make the paid hairs work for Hrothgar. When the hairs were released they were able to be used for the specific race/genders at that time. People paid and got what they wanted at that time. Hrothgar wasn't a part of that. So, yeah, I can't say I'd be all too shocked if a disclaimer was added that the paid hairs are not available for Hrothgar and if you wish to use them then you should return to the previous race you were using for compatibility. It would suck, but eh... just shrug.

Sadly that's true. 'Male' clothes are always extremely boring and are all kind off the same, plsu there's an extreemly limited quantity of them, while 'female' clothes are much more diverse and cool. I wish that 'male' clothes were as diverse as females

The problem is.... "diversity" in female stores often is so fake. I often buy shirts and t-shirts in male stores simply because can't find anything proper in females'. Shoes options are in 90% of cases are disgusting as well (heels, heeeeeeels, heeeeeeeeels are everywheeeeere), so I just wear sneakers most of the time. Maybe it's my country problem but meh. (Female irl, yep).

just how it is sadly
but females also get alot of trash for the sake of it
princess dress,Eddna dress ( actually looks like a garbage bag),have to buy aymerics set for the hair even though they cant wear the set

shame about hrothgar though i really doubt there is more to Hrothgar than what the Benchmark has

its one of the reason why i change my aura to female.

though not all female fashion aesthetic is good either, the open hole on the stomach area for DRG 1st artifact armor still weird me out, like whats the point?

You don't want to see the lvl 80 DRG gear for female characters XD. I don't get what's with DRG AF

Because people ask for the wrong races.

Some of you might think Male Viera would be appealing, while others do not find them appealing at all.

That's for all races ask devs for something appealing everyone would like.

The same could be said for the female races.

I personally enjoy the aesthetic of male characters as well as masculine gear, so for me, there's nothing in playing a female character. For example, Snow's outfit from the XIII event is definitely something I'd like to see more of, like that style of gear. But it depends on the player, if they want more options, they'll play female characters, but it all depends on the aesthetics, I guess.

Oh-hohoho dear! I must reply kindly to this!
As someone that plays with both genders, I don't dare to call those "garbages".
I think both genders have equally nice outfits. It all falls to taste.
Some outfits may not be attractive to some, others think of it as fancy.
I once thought of that Far Eastern Beauty to be not attractive, as it was not fit in the waist, but now I kind like of it - for the concept behind the dress.
What I do think is that we still get bombed by the Korean Games that fashion characters as Always sexy.

If it annoys u just ignore it

For males I wish this game had more cool heavy armor options. It comes down to taste, but most of it looks kind of dumb, in my opinion.

I have made a bitter joke in the past about it being to emphasise Disembowel.
