Will the afro be available to both genders?

You're gonna get stereotypes if you have "male or female exclusive" gear it's just how it works. I mean heck how do you NOT stereotype when you have "This gear is for girls! This gear is for guys!" sorta stuff?

Unisex everything please. Just add bras to the shirtless options.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm more than a little afraid of what would happen if the Male Sea Wolves and Hellsguard were suddenly able to wear the "Bunny Suits" from the Gold Saucer. <Shudders at the thought>

More than likely, though, they would have a slightly different appearance when worn by male characters, similar to all them crafting coatees/bottoms. In particular the bottoms, which are tight pants on men and miniskirts on women. The male unisex glamour sets already tend to look slightly different on female characters due to requiring to cover up them mammaries.

The male "bunny" set could easily just be a bowtie for men, and the fishnets could be butt-hugging trousers (or even hotpants, but I doubt they'd go that far -- especially as we already have the Lord's Drawers set to get that look). Still 'skimpy' and sexy, but definitely male the same way the traditional bunny suit is female.

It's not really so much an issue of people demanding "SAME APPEARANCE ON EVERYTHING", though some differences are just weird (looking at you, DRG AF1). It's more an issue of female characters getting way more glamour sets than male characters. Almost every time they release glamour sets in pairs, the female one is locked, and the male one is unisex. If that starts happening with hairstyles as well...? >.<

Edit: Regarding the outfits worn, I'm really hoping this is when they start living up to the promise quoted (and emphasized) in my signature ^^;

I dunno, I'm always afraid that gear sets looking different means "Hey want to look fancy? Well if you're a girl, gotta show off your breasts!" like with the coatee. Like let's not lie to ourselves here, if they have male specific and female specific gear it's going to be the guys getting gear that's masculine and girls getting gear that's feminine, and to be honest that's boring and limiting. I shouldn't have to make a guy to wear a coatee that doesn't have sudden level of sex appeal between the two.

I mean what, no love for guys who want to wear dresses and girls who want to look cool?

Get the feeling the afro probably isn't going to be the only thing available to both males and females.


(hint: it's probably not the new dress)

I'm not surprise at all. It's just comedical to see the complaints at this point about who can wear what.

when we wear a hat, that hat better be on top of the afro instead of smooshing it down

I agree with you, and I would love for some of the skirts/dresses to be made unisex. But when it comes to the 'lingerie' category of wear (which I consider the bunny outfit to be, pretty much), male lingerie and female do look very different. And the male equivalent of the 'playboy bunny' is pretty much the chipendale(sp?) type of wear. So while I in general don't really like the whole 'looks different depending on your gender' deal, I understand the necessity for it in some cases. Skirts etc is another thing entirely, IMO.
But yeah, I'd love to see some coatees and bliauds that don't emphasize cleavage on female characters =/
And girls can look cool; just wear the male unisex outfit released alongside the female one ^_~

Not until they get eyebrows ^_~

[ServerCollaps]

make the afro male only since bunny ears are female only :s

Doesn't the DRK body and some 50-60 bodies have Skirts for males or am I missing something?
