Actually, I missed that, so fair enough. I saw ♀ and ♂ a few times while I was glossing over the items and didn't count the difference so I concede that part of the argument. I still don't see why it's such a big deal though or how anything SE said in the quote constitutes a promise on any level.

I can't speak for anyone else, but even though I play a female character I've never taken a liking to any of the female-only items besides the Oasis Tunic and the Yukatas (that have male-only equivalents anyway). I just don't understand why people are making such a huge deal over one gender having more vanity items than another, especially when the vast majority of the (in my opinion) best looking equipment in the game is already unisex. To each his own, but I've never been the type to care so much about what someone else has in comparison to myself so maybe that's where my disconnect is coming from.

Anyways, I guess it's as good an idea as any to move over to the larger topic.
