New glamour dress on a male (art)

[faris]

Devastated that I won't be able to put this glamour onto my character because it means a Minwu cosplay is that much farther away. Forget trans implications, I want my whm glamour to be able to take style elements from the most badass whm in the final fantasy series.

And tbh, I've lost a little bit of respect for SE in this. Females getting more glamour options than males is okay, based on the fact males shouldn't wear skirts?
Once upon a time, females were told to wear skirts and were looked down upon for wearing pants. That was wrong, and it was sexism. Males only allowed to wear trousers and looked down upon for wearing skirts is wrong, and it's sexism. It's entirely unfair from a equality perspective, and it's unfair in a gameplay perspective because females have so many more glamour sets than males in this game. It's 2015, SE. Stop living in the early 90s or at least go back to 1988 with male designs like Minwu's.

This take is entirely puzzling, since SE recently backtracked on making the plain long skirt available for males too. Originally it was female only, which should indicate they've learned a lesson. Right? Wrong, apparently.

In terms of males beeing able to wear female clothing theres alot more to it then simply "not wanting to add it".

Remember same sex marriage, alltho it was eventually added. To avoid problem with part of their playerbase they had to rename it so it became more like a friendly bonding then a actual marriage.

SE would have to research this far and wide to find out what the result of adding this would be cause in the end ARR is a product made to make money, if they lose a large chunk of their playerbase because they allowed this then it wouldnt be a very good desicion.

But this wouldn't be the first dress or even "effeminate" looking outfit available to males in game, or in final fantasy in general. Comments like this imply like this would be such a huge move for them, but it really wouldn't be.

Judging by their past laziness of when males put on the fanfest moogle outfit, their torso, legs and arms immediately turn into a woman's, I'd say that's not the case.

If that was true, I want Ramuh's robe and Titan's loincloth to be replaced into more manly alternatives (alternatives being pants, pants, and pants) not to mention existing things like the Flame elite loincloth being turned into pants stat before people stop playing this game. Think of the children!
