Gold Saucer outfits, gender locked?

[Albiere]

Sorry to bump this thread but I'd rather do that than make another one.

Would it be possible to get some kind of official response/translation of Yoshida's comments please? Only source I can seem to find on the matter is the already-posted Reddit thread, would like to know if the Gold Saucer outfits really are gender locked, I'll be really disappointed if they are.

I've been looking forward to trying to get myself the Setzer outfit since I first saw the concept art of it on a female Roe, which makes me want the clarification even more, as that implies it was intended to be for both genders at that point in development. If that intention has changed, can we get an explanation of why the developers changed their minds?

(Free the bunny ears! Setzer outfit for everyone!)

This thread is basically, "I don't like it so therefore no one else can have it, nor do I want to think of gender change if I want it."

Ideally neither outfit should be gender locked. That way male characters could be bunnies and female characters could be Setzer if they wanted.

This.

I wonder if we are going to get a response regarding this or simply ignored. :/

I've never understood the sexualization of bunnies, but...I just can't take another gender-locked item. I just can't. And women not allowed to dress as an iconic character, because they are only being given the option of dressing as a sex object? Hydaelyn, shield us from this stupidity. I won't even begin to speak on the fact that females have more exclusive gear to play around with. There are so many things wrong here, but I hope that a dev responds to contradict the reddit post.

...I have the right to be a sex object, too!

@Hestern. Yeah, there's alot of sexualization when it comes to bunny, rabbits, or any cute animals. I remember the dev (?) said they didn't make any male vieras because it "look weird" the same thing was said about miqo-te/mithra as well. Animals+human= slutty femal cross breed is very prevalent.

It's nice that Yoshi P has made an effort make cat boys and dragon boys too

As I said before, it'll be fairly easy to make a male version of the bunny suit. Just think of chip and dale dancers with bunny eays and tail.

They're clearly not uncomfortable with males wearing skimpy gear...just look at my profile to see what other's are capable of glamouring, lol

Isn't this all just speculation? Calm down people.

I'm very disappointing in the lack of a female option for the Setzer outfit. I can only get the bunny outfit? The heck is that about?

Try reading the thread instead of just the OP?

Got a new information that Setzer outfit is male exclusive, what a let down SE.
That's the only reward that I really want.

Drop the hideous bunny girl outfit and give me a Faris cosplay outfit, or you know, don't gender lock them. That works too.

I'm all for giving everyone both outfits, but c'mon SE, us ladies deserve an iconic FF costume too! Are we really just worth a slutty bunny outfit?

While not iconic to Final Fantasy, bunnies are iconic to the Dragon Quest series. I believe they appear in the majority of the games.
