I've played the game long enough to remember when all the gear was equal for both genders.

Then they added the coatee set: Formal suit and pants for man, miniskirt with stockings and epic cleavage for woman.
Then they added the AFs: WHM: Men get bagy shorts, women get a mini-skirt that changes to panties depending on what you wear, DRG AF has the inexplicable belly window.
Then with 2.0 they relesed the mini-skirt starter RSE.
They've since added Ninja AF with the cleavage for women.

I was a bit disappointed with the coatee set and have become a bit more disappointed with each subsequent addition.

I suppose I was just spoiled coming from XI where there was a lot of the less "ooh, we can make these girls look slutty *giggle*" attitude that's common with other developers. I expected a bit more maturity, I guess.
