Gold Saucer outfits, gender locked?

That's not an immediately visually apparent

What's your image supposed to represent?
Also, why would an asexual, technology-loving scientist not wear a shirt? You can argue inside a self-created standard all you want, but not everyone's gonna go along with it.

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.

Isn't that the point of vanity items and glamours?

No, because you still can't glamour gender-locked gear or cross-class/job gear. If SE wanted you to do WHATEVER you wanted with glamour, this thread wouldn't exist.

Your character is the same gender as Setzer, therefore capable of possessing the same sexuality as him

That's a rather disrespectful and extremely narrow-minded view of gender roles. Everyone is "capable" of possessing the same sort of "sexuality" as Setzer, whether male or female. Hell, my character looks downright masculine and even has the best approximation of a longcoat look I could get. She's certainly much closer to the Setzer style of "sexuality" than the nerdy and borderline asexual character posted in here. There isn't one style of "sexuality" for men or women to have. Hell, Faris from FF5 has a very similar style to Setzer, and there are many bishounen FF characters whose appeal relies on traditionally "feminine" traits.

tl;dr Your perspective is willfully narrow-minded, flat-up disrespectful to others, and comes across as very "stop liking what I don't like." You should work on improving that.

Dude, Setzer is just a gender-bent Faris...



Funny how we had a very similar version of his outfit worn by Faris two years before Setzer saw release and it was a "unisex" thing. Sad how Square seems to have regressed since 1992... I'm not against bunny girl outfits existing, but that it is "the" female option is absurd. More so when the male outfit is perfectly serviceable by a women based on this very franchise over two decades ago... Then there's the minor annoyance that, based on all previews for Gold Saucer, male characters get a unique outfit out of this while female characters get to dress up as employs because... Sex appeal? Seriously, did I just miss all the NPCs in the previews wearing the Setzer outfit? I certainly saw a lot of bunny girl NPCs... Would be nice if female characters at least had a comparable unique reward option, though it would be far easier to just remove the gender lock of Setzers outfit given how inane that lock is anyway.

Ideally, like plenty have said throughout this thread, this should be like the XIII event rewards. It isn't though, and the fact that it isn't despite how many months Gold Saucer has been pushed back from is kind of sadly hilarious. The easiest solution is to just let women wear the unique Setzer outfit and I don't see how that would negatively impact anyone at all...

Setzer is a wealthy, intelligent, confident ladies man that wears his clothes as a sign of his success and skill. Seeing a catgirl run around with it would be nothing short of disgusting.

What in the great tap dancing Jesus's in the middle of somewhere in the holy lands are you talking about?
No one gives a damn about that. People just want the costume for everyone.
I mean, you were WoL gear as a tank and he's a guy, he's costume is available to all.
What they should of done is have that unisex, have

or an equivalent for the males, females bunny suit. [Imo, it's cute...not sexy.]
But on the other side of the coin; this is an awful lot of tripe over a costume...I see peoples point though.
Makes no sense to make this a male only outfit...I personally think it's ugly but yeah.
I don't know what you're talking about Ippiki...I about died at your post.

[Nalien]

I think the funniest part of all this is that Setzer is probably the first person who'd want women in his pants.

Wait... Did that come out right?

What's with the quotes? This reads like something off tumblr, I'm not sure if you're trying to argue "if it looks like [gender], then it is", or that calling me close-minded is supposed to change the dev's decision on this.

Dude, Setzer is just a gender-bent Faris...

Except Faris wouldn't be caught dead in a casino or gambling hall? She was a pirate and likely visited those types of places, but she doesn't have any established connection to those types of places, let alone the Gold Saucer, in the middle of a desert.

Also, Faris is a unique exception to the gender dichotomy, since 100% of the in-game characters acknowledge her as male anyway until later. It's not a female wearing male clothes, in the universe, Faris is a man.

Oh?

Kay...

lolwut?

She was acknowledged as a man for all of an hour at most, she was "outed" very early on in the game... From there she was always referred to as a "she", even by her own Pirate crew... To quote Gilgamesh;

Enough expository banter! Now we fight like men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men! For Gilgamesh...it is morphing time!

Her entire backstory was that she was Lennas lost sister. Cross-dressing doesn't suddenly switch your gender... It wasn't even a case of gender confusion or anything like that, she cross-dressed because she grew up with pirates and as a result was more comfortable in male clothing. She even wore a dress upon returning to Tycoon Castle... "Faris is a man"... You're either trolling or stupid, take your pick.
