Gender Locked Items (Lightning Edition)

[Memoe]

Why not make all the gear available for all genders? I for one would rock Lightning's outfit!

Let the haters hate when stumbling upon a Guardian Corps Roegadyn.

I for one would be VERY pleased if the vendors let us buy both sets of vanity items. I never know what the future is going to hold for my character, after all. Vanity items are really fun for me and my friends, especially because we roleplay, and I would be disappointed if I changed to a boy and I no longer could use the fun items that I'd collected in the past. To have to feel like, "I was there for the 2014 Valentine's event and I completed it and all, but I couldn't get that nice red cook's outfit, just because I was a girl at the time," would be a little disappointing to me. It's not like it's gonna make or break my experience with the game, but I would be very appreciative of the ability to buy both sets if S-E is willing to add it.

Yep! The exchange system would work best here so that you can swap between sets of armour as you use Fantasias (if you end up changing your mind yet again later)

I'm leveling a female alt all the way to 45 just for Lightning's gear ugh. She's like 26 now. Hope I can get her to 45 before the event ends.

Yeah, I'm doing the same. I've been ignoring both my male characters for quite a while since I don't care as much about Snow's outfit. I've only got a couple levels left to go with Dylise (my female character) before she can do all the Lightning quests. But racing her through forty-five levels just so I can get some good level 13 gear is definitely not the way I'd have chosen to play the game.

(I at least stopped the story progression at 20 as soon as she could get her chocobo, and stopped other quests even earlier, so that I won't have totally ruined the rest of the game by racing through it. I'll be able to do that at a proper pace later where I can really explore everything. I'll just have to do it with a different class, since I had to race through her arcanist/scholar progression that I'd originally intended to be her main class.)

They should have just let you buy both, like every other event in the game. I got both swimsuits, since I changed gender I was still able to rock the swimsuit, and I'll always have a male set whenever I go back.

Seems odd that they'd make the level requirement so high for promotional gear, level 13 would've been more than suitable seeing as some people who (especially with the steam release) might want to pace themselves.


Also, ironically page XIII on the thread now~

That's what I've thought, too, but apparently a lot of people on this forum seem to think that promo gear should be something you WORK SUPER HARD FOR RAWR!

Admittedly, I wish the male models could just wear the female version of clothing. At least then I could always wear everything.

And by "working super hard" they mean "steamroll the FATE with a zerg horde!"
