Gold Saucer outfits, gender locked?

[Eul]

And the hempen set (chemise/undershirt etc) look different on different races even though it's the same item.

This. Although I like my highlander topless (cuz muscle lol), I kinda feel weird using this. This just makes my character "almost" into BDSM thingy with those string around his chest. Is there no normal tank tops for this race?

On topic, it would be nice if SE can put bunny head to unisex because I know any gender and any race like this stuff more than the outfit IMO

While I can't say I agree with Ippiki, spite is just about the most childish thing ever.

I agree, we must treat misogyny with the respect it deserves.

Because childishness is an acceptable solution right?
(it's not.)

Also, fighting disrespect with disrespect is counter-productive. Disrespect is like hatred in that regard.

A couple crossdressers whining about costumes won't show up as even the smallest blip in their stock portfolio.

Also, I'm not the most devoted FF scholar, are there ANY female characters closely associated with the casino/entertainment industry similar to Setzer, and thus worthy of representation?

Yuna is a singer in X-2, does that count enough for "entertainment industry"?

that being said, I'm kinda disappointed the outfits are like this, but can't say I'm wildly surprised, I knew they'd do something that would make me not all that interested in the Gold Saucer in some way or another (Figured it'd be gender-locked costumes, or a cash shop method to get ahead there). I might pop into the saucer to check it out, but I'll have zero interest in collecting the costume now, and won't be spending my time doing so now

Krr, you're misinterpreting.

A man wearing a Setzer's costume is fine, because a large part of what the costume represents is closely entwined with the subtleties of his sexuality, and the actions/motives he has related to that.

A catgirl or any female wearing the same outfit would come off as a mockery of the same due to the same sexuality not being present. I've posted before, if there's a female equivalent to Setzer in the FF universe, her outfit would suffice, but to the devs, that's not the case. There's no misogyny here, if females get a classy gambler outfit, sweet, but at the cost of cheapening an established character? No thanks.

what, you mean a game made by men unabashedly panders to a male audience? wow woah

also just saying, only providing playboy bunny costumes for female characters is misogynistic. dance around it all you want, fellas

why do i play video games

[Dyne_Fellpool]

misogynistic

Misogynistic means you hate or strongly distrust women. It doesn't mean you are just insensitive to gender equality.

I am a roleplayer. My character is a nerdy, scrawny scientist who is borderline asexual. He loves his technology more than anything. Should I not be allowed to wear my costume since my male character differs heavily from Setzer's ideology?

Perhaps we should start having personality screenings to see what gear we should and should not be allowed to wear based on our character's personality.


Ridiculous, yes? So... why could a female character not wear it?

Who is Setzer ?

That's actually a pretty good outfit, weird how the devs didn't choose that for females, but oh well.

I am a roleplayer.

That's not an immediately visually apparent, let alone binary fact. Your character is the same gender as Setzer, therefore capable of possessing the same sexuality as him(from reading your post, that's a pretty big stretch, but regardless), and the outfit, and character represented, is not disrespected.

Give females their own thing instead of making a very masculine character/outfit into a unisex thing, is my main point. If you want bunny outfits on males, that's your own taste, but wanting something to be copy-pasted just to fit your choices is a little much.
