Valentione's Day Items

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...lentiones_Day/

Love the suit, especially the bowler hat.

Also curious who's going to win the vote. I predict the cute Elezen girl, but that's just me.

They have ACTUAL tights to go with it, not stockings, tights! Yay! there are too few of them in the game.

Yes, I know that there are the really tight pants in the game that they call 'tights', but I think of them as more leggings.

Plus heels to match! I am thrilled!

And yes, the male stuff looks quite snazzy.

I gotta say, the glamour this year looks gorgeous, I love it ♥

And that chocolate fountain is quite nice too ! Pretty happy with what we're getting this year.

Man, they really gender locked them...

Damn, I really hoped they would be gender unlocked...

Look at it this way: there's more chance of them unlocking separate gender-locked items sometime in the future than there would be if they made one item that changes form according to the character's gender.

This. She's the only female and red's my colour anyway.

I'm going with Astird simply because of The Office...

...and if you know what I'm talking about, you know I didn't spell Astird wrong. :D

I thought we were trying to get away from gender locked items? I like the tights but that dress going straight into the armory. I would have definitely used that suit in some glamour. Oh well.

I mean, I'm 'meh' on the glamour but... That chocolate fountain tho

If we're only getting one of the glamour sets, but they're all identical and dyeable, I'm going to pick the one with the best name which is the blue one.

I'm liking the hat, the tights (yay, tights!), the gloves, the shoes I'm not fussed over but they're okay too. Dress isn't my bag, but I don't particularly hate it either. I think my catboi will like the chaps' version too.

Also, chocolate fountain. Nom.

*happy cat*

One thing, though: no outfit should be genderlocked.

This is my thought as well. For us veterans, we've gotten to know Astrid from past events, who are these other guys. I don't think the Elezen is Lisette's fiance/husband, so who are those two guys anyway.

But also, the Blue outfit just has the best name, so damn, grrr decisions.

It's not so much doing a way with them, but keeping them fair, meaning no female exclusive with a "unisex" male, if its unisex, it's not male. That being said, a glamour like this feels like an acceptable compromise compared to other gender-exclusives we've seen.

The men's outfit looks absolutely fantastic. All the pieces are amazing. Not feeling the female outfit at all unfortunately. The dress and tiny little hat will never get used by me, though the tights or shoes may I dunno probably not though. Like others have said I wish this wasn't gender locked.

Oof… Not sure I'd wear that dress.. Men sets look so good though :(

That's it, I'm choosing Bert just to spite you all. :D

I'd be thrilled if they would stop including the tights as part of the shoes. This pair of mismatched shoes will look odd unless paired with the mismatched tights they come with. Just like the bunny outfit shoes look off without the fishnets. If anything, give us a dye to make the tights under them invisible or something.

This is the silver lining I'm clinging to right now - the fact that there are two (or I guess six?) unique sets makes it easier to change in the future but still very disappointed right now.

Here's hoping the vest pairs well with 2B stockings I guess, 'cause they aren't getting my alt into pants.

They don't have a choice because of how the character models and gear interact. If the outfit has tights that can be seen on the foot, that HAS to be part of the foot gear model. Leg gear ends at the ankles and can't affect the feet.

It would be nice if they reused they model to make a plain version though.

Likewise, I'd love a version of the waistcoat (for my alt) that could be dyed completely, instead of having to make it jet black if I don't want the two-colour effect.

...I do not see my Viera in either the thights, shoes, dress, and certainly not the hat (I actually DO like the hat, but, y'know, Viera). I'd wear any of the male pieces, so guess it's insta-going to the armoire until/unless they go unlocked...

I think viera in particular would look amazing in the vest. Especially with that pocket watch, it's got such a Wonderland white rabbit feel to it that'd be awesome on an actual bun.

Male outfit looks much better in my opinion. The tights look cute though. Would be nice if we could dye both the coloured and black parts.

The one with the red outfit has my vote. Really like how cute the red outfit is.

Love them but, as others have said, it would have been much better if they weren't gender locked. That suit would make a great MCH glam.

nope, that 2b outfit only happenned because the nier guy thought it looked weird and funny on males.

Welp... once upon a decade, for a change, male characters actually got a very good set, finally.
The body is absolutely sunning and I will certainly use it, pants are finally long enough to not show naked ankles as other classic pants in the game do, and shoes with gloves are very nice too. Not a big fan of the hat, but it's not bad as well.
The only issue is... why genderlock again. I mean sets are cute, I like them, but just why.

That's not only about 2B set, though. Yoshida said in the interview a little bit after ShB release that they plan to unlock Eternal Bonding suit and dress, for example, probably along with some other items.

I am also rejoicing because of this. I also love that the patterns are different for each leg.

I really like that SE told us the dye used for the colours of the three candidates. A very nice touch.

I'm voting for Bert, since the other two are Elezen (those creepy giraffe-necks).

I really hate the gender-locking, not just for wearing but also for aquistion.
I find the female outfit awful in all its components and there'd no way I'd ever use, but I love the male one, and honestly it would have been perfect to glamour Khai-shirr with.

I'll just vote for whoever I like the ideas of the most and then shove the outfit in the armoire.

I also don't care for the chocolate fountains. And there aren't even mini-games so eh.

Do we know for certain that the other version won't be available? Maybe we get a choice.

Does anyone remember how the werewolf costume worked? Or earlier event gear with separate gendered items?

On the official event page/lodestone, it says you'll be given the outfit gender matching your character's gender, and that you're only able to aquire one.
So I imagine if you want the other gender you have to spend cash next year.

Ah, I did just read that since I thought to check the page, but only after I posted.

So it's programmed something like the coffers containing gear for your current job, then.

I wish we got both and could wear both. I like the way masculine attire looks on my lady roe because cutsey dresses only ever work on smol and skinny races. Something femroe are not. Also handy for when I glam retainers and my squad.

I wish the fountain was separate from the main tray. The wine and cake from last year was great. I like simpler aesthetics and not massive, massive meals. Heck, our WoL being a lightweight is even optional given the Ahm Araeng quest with Gan Ghan... Or was it Ron Rhon?

I'm voting for whomever's personality I like the most. If I like them all, then Bert!

The male highlander with eyebrows in the artwork?


I guess he's not from Ala Mhigo xD

The gender locking is unfortunate. That dress doesn't suit my alt in the least bit, so would've been nice to get the men's gear.

If you've completed past events and got the achievement you can get the male or female version of seasonal outfits from the recompense officer. Unless they make a different achievement for each color/gender, we would be able to get the others. I could maybe see them making different achievements for the colors, but probably not gender.

That's mostly why I don't like it, either. As a max height Viera poofy skirts look... off...
